You are naive if you assume police in any country have your best interests at heart. An individual cop might, but in general they are rewarded for catching criminals, not necessarily in cash but in promotions, awards, and perceived job performance with their superiors.

It’s not just the US, more laws get passed everywhere making more individual behavior illegal. It’s just too easy to catch you on something.
