[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 1583770, member: 18"] This is a huge pet peeve of mine i.e. the perception that police corruption is more rampant today than it was in the pre-internet age. Law enforcement as a profession, at least in a great number of larger cities, have gone so far in the direction of attempting to self-police that it seems inconceivable that any educated and logical person could possibly argue that police corruption is more common these days. What has changed is the availability of video and other information. Is anyone seriously going to argue that today's law enforcement is as corrupt as that of the 1960's south or New Jersey or Chicago? If so, you really haven't been looking. The opportunities to report and investigate police misconduct are rampant these days; Heck, my department has an anonymous tip line and an internet reporting system! I cannot speak to the level of misconduct in small agencies in rural America but after spending almost two decades in law enforcement, I am fairly confident that despite the misconduct or alleged misconduct of some, things are waaaaaaaaaaaay better than they were when I was growing up. Anyone who truly believes differently is viewing the issue from an emotional rather than logical point of view. Michael Brown [/QUOTE]
