When it comes to police, highway patrol, sheriffs or rangers(to lesser
degree) they have all "rights" to do anything they please and
complaining to their superiors will not change their policies unless it
is widely publisized and there is public outcry so they will find
scapegoat and blame all abuses on him.
We in Los Angeles have lived with police totaly out of control for a
very long time and there is so much police and HP here(small army and
still asking for more)  preying on drivers and not enforcing what is
realy important. Our government feels we are not capable of controlling
ourselves and need
the whole big army of those bullies to keep us under control. This kind
of "control" would cause a civil war in Europe(western), nobody will
tolerate it.
