An excellent piece of advice which I wish more people would listen to. Wendy McElroy has exactly that to say to you and all those you love:

The police have become the active enemies of civil society and are primarily (by far!) concerned with imposing social control over your non-aggressive behavior. The police are the main enforcement arm and unthinking muscle behind a government that actively opposes the moral and natural jurisdiction that every human being — including you — has over their property and the peaceful use of their own bodies. For the love of your own liberty/safety and that of your family, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM GOVERNMENT AGENTS, especially the police who do not care about your rights or safety…other than considering them to be annoying barriers to doing whatever the hell they want. And the courts will back them up.
