My sis is in law enforcement and sent me this one, very entertaining:

POLICE HARASSMENT . . . well worth reading

Recently, RCMP King's Det in Nova Scotia, ran an e-mail forum (a question
and answer exchange) with the topic being, "Community Policing."

One of the civilian email participants posed the following question,
"I would like to know how it is possible for police officers to continually
harass people and get away with it."

From the "other side" (the law enforcement side), Cst S.H.,
obviously a cop with a sense of humor, replied:
"First of all, let me tell you this...it's not easy.. In the Annapolis
Valley, we average one cop for every 600 people. Only about 60% of those
cops are on general duty (or what you might refer to as "patrol") where we
do most of our harassing.

The rest are in non-harassing departments that do not allow them contact
with the day-to-day innocents. And, at any given moment, only one-fifth of
the 60% patrollers are on duty and available for harassing people while the
rest are off duty. So roughly, one cop is responsible for harassing about 5
000 residents. When you toss in the commercial business, and tourist
locations that attract people from other areas, sometimes you have a
situation where a single cop is responsible for harassing 10,000 or more
people a day.

Now, your average ten-hour shift runs 36,000 seconds long. This gives a cop
one second to harass a person, and then only three-fourths of a second to
eat a donut AND then find a new person to harass. This is not an easy task.
To be honest, most cops are not up to this challenge day in and day out. It
is just too tiring. What we do is utilize some tools to help us narrow down
those people which we can realistically harass.
The tools available to us are as follows:

PHONE:
People will call us up and point out things that cause us to focus on a
person for special harassment. "My neighbor is beating his wife" is a code
phrase used often. This means we'll come out and give somebody some special
harassment.

Another popular one is, "There's a guy breaking into a house." The
harassment team is then put into action.
CARS:
We have special cops assigned to harass people who drive. They like to
harass the drivers of fast cars, cars with no insurance or no driver's
licenses and the like. It's lots of fun when you pick them out of traffic
for nothing more obvious than running a red light. Sometimes, you get to
really heap the harassment on when you find they have drugs in the car, they
are drunk, or have an outstanding warrant on file.
RUNNERS:
Some people take off running just at the sight of a police officer. Nothing
is quite as satisfying as running after them like a beagle on the scent of a
bunny. When you catch them you can harass them for hours.
STATUTES:
When we don't have PHONES or CARS and have nothing better to do, there are
actually books that give us ideas for reasons to harass folks. They are
called "Statutes"; Criminal Codes, Motor Vehicle Codes, etc... They all
spell out all sorts of things for which you can really mess with people.
After you read the statute, you can just drive around for a while until you
find someone violating one of these listed offenses and harass them. Just
last week I saw a guy trying to steal a car. Well, there's this book we have
that says that's not allowed. That meant I got permission to harass this guy
It is a really cool system that we have set up, and it works pretty well.

We seem to have a never-ending supply of folks to harass. And we get away
with it. Why? Because for the good citizens who pay the tab, we try to keep
the streets safe for them, and they pay us to "harass" some people.

Next time you are in my town, give me the old "single finger wave." That's
another one of those codes. It means, "You can't harass me."
*It's one of our favorites.*
