Boulder County Sheriffs on the other hand are very professional, reasonable people as far as my experiences have been. Longmont PD not quite the same. I have meet some very good police, have also dealt with the slobish hacks. I'm sure its no different anywhere except probably a lot worse.
I have respect for them, its a thankless job, the ones who do it right my hats off but I am not okay with being treated like a money sponge the city can wring out anytime it feels like it because of some trumped up traffic ticket written to meet a quota.
