There are tons of people who have snakes as pets. Never heard them labeled as stupid before.

Again, this sounds like a bunch of young people trying to scare others. Keep walking and ignore them. It's not a dangerous snake, just scary to come upon if you haven't had experience with them. Perhaps you should contact the sheriff or whoever supervises the officers who told you they could do nothing. There might be something that can be done. The officers could have been wrong. Or lazy.
