I'm not talking about law enforcement here, I'm mostly referring to those who are not qualified worshiping what other people with qualifications say without even questioning it.
Although I now have my certificate 3, I've had to deal with closed minded idiots, who pretty much worshiped a IT professional with a certificate 3 who couldn't even, get this right had no clue what the hell they were doing (image jen from IT crowd) (I should add my knowledge of computers is roughly university level, I can code, I can read and write assembly language, I could go on and on.) self taught mostly, aced my certificate 3 and plan to do uni in 2018. (dropped out due to financial issues)
Pretty much "Jen" was going around telling people that the school was lending out laptops, and give everyone the false impression that WIFI meant free internet, anywhere. I face palmed so hard that day.
Not only that, I pretty much had to argue to people who didn't understand the concept of the internet being a physical network of computers, "Jen" kept telling them it's just software... face-palm again.
I than went to say that, you do know qualifications don't mean jack shit, you should look into the information themselves.
So, guess what they do, they go to bloody yahoo answers, because they were too stupid to do basic research on Wikipedia.
Now, to laymen people, I do come off as arrogant sometimes, but that's mostly because my general knowledge is often larger than most people, and I always have to pick at there nonsense, I'm not always right of course, but pretty much think of it like this a atheist arguing with a fundamentalist, to the fundamentalist the atheist always looks arrogant, but in reality it's the opposite way around.
I myself hate the word opinion, reason being people can the most stupidest things in the world, and hide behind it saying oh, it's an opinion, not realizing that opinions can only apply to specific things, and not scientific fact. The sky being blue isn't a god damn opinion, you cannot cure cancer with snake oil, is not an opinion.
Is it just me, or do people just worship authority, such as media, and not really ever question anything? I've seen people believe in myths, believe everything the telly tells them to. I've only ever come across a few people who don't come off as an idiot to me, and there god damn scientists xD. (or ironically atheists)
I actually underestimate myself, because people don't seem to understand that I'm now qualified I can now say I know what the fuck I'm doing, even though I did it from day one. My qualification changed nothing as I already know what I'm doing. I've had the interest most of my life, and I've been learning ever since day one.
Lets say if I said, oh my computer blew up, the first fucking thing they will tell me to do is to take it to an IT Professional. Do they not understand I am a fucking IT professional, and can do this shit myself, why should I pay an "expert" to do something I can do for free.
I don't believe in the concept of "experts", even though I'm an IT Professional, I still feel like I know jack shit, I have no confidence in anything I do as I understand how little I actually know, while most people hold there horses high and think, oh yeah I know everything.
To me an Expert is someone like Steve Wozniak, or Dennis Ritchie, not some random person who has a certificate 3.
Now, don't get the impression I think everyone is an idiot, no, just most of the people I've come across seem to be, Honestly my only true friends are people who happen to be smart.
I also have a habit of thinking people find things as easy as I do, I suggested to a friend to learn C# and boy did they struggle, and when I learned it, I picked up the basics in a couple of days, I even learned the core of C in a couple days. (the language) while I knew people who could never seem to understand it.
But being an INTP, this does explain a lot, I've met fellow INTP's who happen to think the same way. I personally just think some peoples brains are wired for learning and knowledge, while others are more wired for social growth and development.
I guess, the world needs a balance of different kinds of people to function, you need your scientists to develop technology, and you need the social people for businesses, caring etc.

than I went as far as explaining how the internet somewhat still uses the telephone network for a lot of it, then there like, what the hell does the telephone companies have to do with internet... I did eventually just give them the dead eye, while they were rubbing it in my face that they were "right" drives me mental though.
