However, just as in any profession, there are a few jerks in law enforcement.

Our middle daughter was stopped once and the Deputy Sheriff was a absolute a$$hole to her.

I knew the County Sheriff slightly through my job at a local TV station and wrote him a letter.

I got an immediate call from the deputy's Sergeant and then a Leiutenant. I told them that I wasn't looking for any punishment to be administered, but hoped that they could make the guy realize that his attitude really hurt police/high school student relations.
Something similar happened to me. My car was stolen from campus and they found it in Rockford, IL in a swamp. The police in Beloit told me that I must have did it and walked home (20miles) and was just afraid to tell my parents. I put him on the phone w/my mom becuase I was too upset to talk to him and he told her that all young women lie, he knew his daughter did. I got my dad to call the police dept and yell at them.

Reality is though. If the police are known to target Greeks, why put the sitcker on your car? It is like wearing your shoes through the metal detector, ya you are technically allowed to do it, but it is a pain in the ass afterwards, so you make it simple and don't wear your shoes (or the Greek letters). No one has ever suffered because they didn't put a Greek letter sticker on their car.
