The issues with police is two-fold. On the one hand, they are your (inefficient?) protectors and keep people like Antifa at bay. On the other hand, they are the people who will ensure you follow arbitrary regulations and laws and pay your taxes.
Sometimes they just blatantly execute the violation of your actual human rights out of opportunities.
I am speaking in general terms, not just US. They police can be your friend or your greatest enemy. For example, because I don't pay propaganda fees in Germany, the police may break into my home and confiscate items. If I'd be home and wanted to stop them, I'd be jailed. The court system is already fully in line with several constitutional violations and gave their blessing.
Am I the bad guy? Is unconditional obedience the solution?
Well, I get letters and I guess while I am out working they knock on my door. I assume once enough "fees" have been accumulated, they'll do it. Legally they have the authority to do so for a long time now and there is nothing I can do about it... legally. I paid the first time however after a time span of ~2 years, which was ~2 years ago.

Has anything happened since you don’t pay the Rundfunk Beitrag?
