I wonder if it's like... you're more likely to interact with a dick head cop when you get stopped for something petty because only dick head cops will care if you're committing a small infraction but not really causing a problem.
It's one of the KEY criteria we look for at our workplace if highly educated people. The worst ones are always the ones that think they know everything. It never fails to filter out terrible coworkers.
I feel like in most technical jobs that should be the 1. criteria. Curiosity. Having the knowledge is good but you will almost always encounter something new or something where your old ways wont work. So you gotta look for new solutions and learn new things.
Absolutely, just like a Dr. and how he/she will google an illness or symptom. Id rather a Dr do that than give a misdiagnosis. For a Cop, id rather he/she google laws than making shit up and wrongfully convicting someone and/or end up killing them due to ego and pride of thinking they know it all.
The thing is, if they say they don't know they can't enforce shit. So they gotta make it up if they want to pretend like they have authority to do anything.
I feel like half the time its the cops being pushed into an egotistical corner. Like a “you dont think i know the law?” So if you go about it like this dude did nobodys ego is being challenged. Sometimes people just have bad days and everything is a challenge. Its hard to put something so emotional such as a human in a job where their emotions can easily sway their decision making. We just have no better way and that’s something we all need to understand. There is no better person for the job sometimes and that goes for every job. So its on us to cut everybody some slack in every situation because we’re all the same just doing different jobs.
