Police, Rakshakara.. Bakshakara??

Consider this..
You & your wife are tired after driving for 7 hours and drop in by neighbourhood tender coconut stall for a refreshment. A cop stops in bike next to your car, watches it for a minute and corners you. With the foulest language possible he starts his interogation in the middle of a public road. He wants to find out if you are the thief whole stole chain last week or questions your relation with your wife, asks you to prove it. He threatens to come to your home and check with your parents.  Then finally he resorts to quizzing my wife about my initials, fathers name and cross checking with my driving license. Finally he is convinced that we are legally married, honest tax paying citizens.. he hardly apologizes for his behaviour.
 It just pissed us off.. do we need cops like this? We later learnt from Tender coconut guy that this guy has become a big nuisance, taking regular cut from their business, harassing unmarried couples, he has taken as much as 5000Rs from a couple recently.   
If he had done the same thing with a good language and attitude, we would have spent so bad! A great weekend ended badly!!
