In all other aspects I have the upmost respect for police officers.

You act as if the police officers get a percentage of the traffic fines they reap on their Christmas checks. Revenue schemes are cooked up by local legislators. Police officers don't write the laws, nor do they cook up revenue schemes for local government. They are just the poor guys who are "ordered" to carry out the dirty deed. Hate them if you must, but better just to kick out the elected officials who are responsible.
