Now that you bring it up, I realize that the two traffic stops I've ever had have been totally smooth and friendly, which may just go to show how my bias has been effected by the media/public. Likewise, each state/city also surely has it's own unique history/culture/rules of policing to work with or against, and Portland cops have been riding bad local PR for like the last 40 years, which is hard to keep out of my own judgments.
