I think it's mostly positive. The cops have never arrested me, despite openly breaking the drug laws, and generally seem to be on my side. However, obviously I'm not a mainstream New Zealander, and that means that several of my friends have had negative experiences with the cops. Even my Mum has a degree of paranoia about the Police, but I think everyone does. - I think my best moment was during the Parliament occupation, and that set the tone going forward. 👍
