WEll Patrick,
I agree with you on their ego, but they are no more than regular cops.
There is no lower level/rank police force, hence no cream! Vigili are
usually in to parking tickets and traffic duties and are unarmed.
I have F*&^ with them when necessary when I've been in the right.
Pulled it off too!
Cheers
Dorien

YIKES! Dorien, these guys have an incredible ego, exceeded only by the
size of the emblem on their hat. A quick google search gave me this:

I shudder to think of the reaction when I told a Carabinieri he was a
city cop. These are the National Police and the cream of the crop. DO
NO F*&^ with them! Perhaps you mean the Vigili as the local village
policeman?
