Most of the time I agree. However, in the not too distant past I arrived home and was immediately greeted by two uniformed officers. They proceeded to ask me who I was and why I was there (I had just taken the Porsche out and it was mid afternoon). Keep in mind that this is my house - completely paid in full / never arrested / no tickets / no previous problems with the law whatsoever. About at that point one of the officers broke out the hand-cuffs. I realize that it is extremely easy to talk a big game when telling these stories after the fact, but I am here to tell you there was 'a fixin to be a big problem'. Although I do not like violence, I would have not gone down without a fight. My claustrophobia coupled with my complete innocence would simply not allow it to happen. Oftentimes I see on COPS that they hand-cuff someone for their protection - it was not about to happen in this case.
