I beleive for what they do theyre underpaid.
I also know plenty of customer service agents that made $45,000, and they DO complain. I also know plenty of people who make less than $12, and they do too. Theyre not unionized, they dont have the oppurtunity to strike, there is no one backing them up. THey have to just look for another job.
In todays society, the criminals got bigger and badder guns. A friend of mines fathers best friend / partnered was killed on the job in toronto. Stopping a suspicious person WALKING in parkdale. Guy open up with auto gun fire killing him before the car door was even open.... unmarked car as well...
Its not an easy job, you deal with horrible things, many times your hands are tied and you cant do shit.
I agree, tons of BS tickets for modified cars.... but are we talking people getting tickets for no cats? chopped springs? The police get paid to do a job. Some of them powertrip, some dont. When you see them enforcing the LAW, you cant really complain.
