Who told you that? Tis a lie..

The cops are usually OK, its probably your own attitude
they will reflect when dealing with you.. I am pretty
much nice and friendly when dealing with a cop (the U.S.
taught me that ;-) and they usally are the same with me.

And, indeed, they dont *usually* stop you for silly things,
like when I got pulled over and fined (heavily) for having
a broken headlight. Here, they'll pull you over and let
you know that the light is broken, and that it'd be better
and safer to have it replaced- soon. If you're speeding,
but not too much (like, say, 135 where 120 is allowed),
they'll pass you, and the dude not driving will make the
"dude, slow down a bit" gesture with his hands, rather
than pulling you over. Stuff like that.

But, Holland is full of *other* insanities, trust me.
