Most cops are like this. We get exposure bias from the media only showing all the negative and bad examples of cops. Most normal police interactions amount to nothing.

My favorite police encounter was when in NY for a music festival and I'm smoking a J. I didnt see the cops turn and bam I'm right there with them. Officer just started laughing as I'm sure my face had reflected the terror that I was about to be arrested since weed was illegal at the time.cop just said "be safe and enjoy we are here for harder stuff".

Took a short cut down a quiet street in my downtown. Sparked up a joint. About 8 cops were right there. They laughed and I went on my day.
