Really interesting to see everyone's opinions - thank you all for taking the time to contribute.
The Independent has just published a story detailing the most trusted professions in the UK - the police rank 6th to last. http://i100.independent.co.uk/article/these-are-the-12-most-...
I'd like to pad out my opening comment on my experience with the police - Luckily I live in a society where corruption within the force is a lot less noticeable than some others listed, however one can easily identify when certain groups are intentionally targeted as a way to increase the statistics for policing in my country.
My experience as a young white male, living in a large city is that most police officers whom I have contact with come with an undeserved air of superiority about them. This has always led me to the assumption that this is potentially a character trait not caused by the police but one that's unusually high amongst the police - perhaps shedding some light on the kind of person that grows up wanting to police/control his neighbor.
The fairy tale job of being a policeman you're told as a kid has long since disintegrated amongst my circles, a police officer is no longer a hero figure with the same stature as a Paramedic/Firefighter but somebody to be avoided/approached with caution.

I guess we disagree on that point then. I did say I don't condone it but calling these people out online as 'creeps' is harsh imo. Also you're assuming that all these 'creepy assholes' are men.

Agreed.

I don't understand the point of this site. Whilst Linkedin is obviously the wrong platform, these people aren't using vulgar or offensive language, they're simply using Linkedin's vast data and profiling information to their advantage - for a community that supports entrepenerialism and innovation I'm surprised to see a site like this on the homepage. labelling them as 'creeps' and calling them out on the internet/Hacker News seems a little harsh. I don't condone using Linkedin as a dating service (even though it does, arguably, hold very relevant data), but you do have to admire the spirit!
