Same everywhere I'm afraid, good coppers, bad coppers, good people, bad people.
To be honest though, I've generally found them to be ok when dealing with bike stuff, they are either 'Biking' coppers ( Steve who's a local Bike cop is also an active MAG member down here ) or if you are calm and polite, they tend to be just unaware of bike related matters. Just don't tell them 'ignorance of the law is not an excuse' they don't appreciate that one thrown back at them ;) ..............
