Same thing applies in adulthood. Police are way more cordial and friendly with people who are always on their radar, whereas normal members of the public who have never had police attention in their life get treated like crap from the getgo

Let's assume they are acting in good faith here ( probably not) but let's try. Those always on the radar aren't worth constantly applying the sledgehammer. Truth is, they just dont give a fuck. If they did, they wouldn't be on the radar to begin with. 


However, you, the good guy does. They think if they apply the sledgehammer now? Then they know that you won't do it again later. They figured since you give a shit, you're worth the effort. Then again, maybe it's just because assholes tend to stick together?


Maybe I have no idea what I'm talking about here? I'm just trying to offer a new perspective.
