I had a "friend" in high school who was "harassed" by the police. His father was an attorney, not criminal. Anyway, they threatened to sue the police because every time one of their cars would leave the drive way it would get pulled over no matter who was driving. They eventually bought all new cars so they wouldn't be instantly recognized. The problem is that my "friend" was a drug dealer. It varied over the years, but I know he was always selling pot, and dabbled in powder coke, crack, and LSD and then what else I don't know.
I think his parents were a little naive. Eventually they shipped him off to boarding school, which he got kicked out of several of them, never his fault of course. I don't really know why his parents put up with it for so long. Anyway, it's been 20 years, but if he were to call me up today and say he was "harassed" by a cop I'd have to ask what he was doing to deserve it.
I'm not comparing the OP's story to that of a drug dealer. It's just that if you break the law and the law comes down on you then you don't have much room to complain about it.
I won't be the one to throw the first squirrel. I tore off from a light one day because I was feeling frisky. It happened right in front of a sheriff's deputy. He didn't give me a ticket, but I wouldn't have said anything negative about the guy if he had.
