Let's just say... you have that freedom but who says they can't get rough before you get a chance at some actual policing when you are in front of the Sargent.
They are on edge and jump at the opportunity to arrest someone for even a simple infraction, what makes it worse is that, resisting, talking back, swearing and in anyway make the police officer technically feel "upset" or "afraid" can add more to the case, so you can imagen a mouthy person getting manhandled like this person.
They love it.
Edit: some spelling
P.S Don't get me wrong, there are good cops but its pay is shite, its just a job to some and the lack of funding is a joke. also for real, corruption needs to be addressed.
