Do you trust the police?
Ever been arrested?
Have you had any scary experiences with coppers?
Do you think people with a certain personality join the police?
If you are/consider yourself to be in a minority group (for example, some ethnic groups, gender identities ect), do you think that it affected the way you were delt with?
Do you think that your social class affects how the police treated you?
