Catskinner,,,What I meant by the last half of the statement is that when I usually hear a situation where someone is whining about being mistreated by any government agency is due to them having either intentionally, or unintentionally through lack of knowledge, been caught in a position where they are subject to some form of punitive action...Whether is due to a traffic violation, a personal conflict with another, or even something more serious...
That's not to say that some agencies, more specifically the Federal Government of late, do not enact policies, usually based on administrative/regulatory decisions that put the unaware in precarious positions...
But as far as local LEOs, municipal and county, they are usually reactionary functions depending on the situation and guided by established policies and procedures that have been in effect for some time and existing laws are on the books for any interested party to read, if they take the time before taking their initial action...Some laws are well known and well publicized that some individuals choose to ignore and others can be somewhat obscure and require some intelligent research on a given subject...
