I think when he referred to the cop as an 'arsehole' he was probably referring to his attitude. I've had a few tickets over the years and I've had cops who have been polite, courteous and professional & on the flip side I've had rudeness and arrogance when it's been completely unnecessary. They are public servants and yeah sometimes they have a tough time, but that's life. They don't like it, get a job which means they don't have deal with Joe Public.
