You new here? We have all kinds of folks who police us. We have County Sheriffs from Marion and Sumter and local fellows. Wildwood, Fruitland Park and Lady Lake Police are all part of the folks who are looking to stop you and ticket you so that you don't break the law or hurt someone. Yup.
I look down on people who look down on police officers.

I do not look down on police officers. As a matter of fact when we lived in Roanoke Va before moving down here they offered a class called the Roanoke Civilian Police Academy where they showed you most of the training the police went thru at the academy including traffic stops and all the things that could happen.
Also did a number of ride a longs with the local police and got to know several really well.
After seeing what they had to put up with in the daily life I have the utmost respect for them.
Having said this in many jurisdictions they are expected to write a certain number or value of tickets each month.
The Sumter county police has a similar program but they do not do a number of the more interesting things that Roanoke allowed us to do.
