I would encourage everyone who has a bad experience with an abusive officer to report it. I did, I flipped the bird at a cop in an SUV that was sliding sideways towards me in my lane because he took a corner too fast. Realized it was a Nevada state trooper, promptly pulled over, for him to spend 45 minutes berating me at the side of the road in the snow, he said, "You'll live" when I asked if I could get my jacket out of the car. After all that he could not find something to write me a ticket for, because he did not notice the person sitting in the back storage area while he was yelling at me. If I would have been alone, I have no doubt I would have ended up in jail with numerous injuries sustained while "resisting arrest." He ended up giving me a warning for an obscene gesture directed at an officer of the law, or something like that. Wrote a letter to his boss, the judge and the Governor of Nevada. Sent statements from the other 4 folks in the vehicle too. The cop in question got a month off without pay, anger counseling and a reprimand in his employment record. After that, I saw him from time to time, and ALWAYS, waved, said hello and made a point of letting him know I was thinking of him
Overall I respect law officers greatly, but there are some bad apples
