In the United States at least, 99% of the time when you are approached by the police, you are suspected of a crime. They are given wide latitude in using their feelings rather than facts to evaluate whether you should be taken into custody, physically harmed, or even killed. They are protected from consequences of poor decisions by strong unions and the concept of qualified immunity. There is vast evidence out there about why on average they cannot be trusted to deal with you fairly.

Yeah, um, I don't believe your 99% number. Got a source for that number?

99% is hyperbole but sadly so much of modern policing is structured to extract the maximum number of arrests. From the corridors throughout the US where local LEOs use cash rules to seize money for their own use or from some of the silly reasons police will stop you at night as a justification for further probing.
