What if you are being harassed?
Probably communication would be the best thing for you to do. You need to know why you are running into them so often, and change your behavior. The police don't usually waste time on law abiding people. Most citizens rarely talk to a police officer, even for a ticket, but if you notice you are getting tickets often, you may choose to sell your car and drive more defensively. If your friends are in and out of trouble with police, you possibly should spend less time with them. If, however, you find yourself the true victim of police harassment, you have several options. If it's a patrolman who is harassing you, you can go in to the station house and speak to that patrolman's supervisor, sergeant, or commander. Usually, if it's a misunderstanding, it can be cleared up there. If the issue is more involved than just one patrolman, you can always file a complaint with the department's Internal Affairs division. This division is separate from the chain-of-command of the remainder of the department, so that they can be impartial in investigating their own. You can contact Internal Affairs through the governmental body that oversees that particular department (for example, if it's a city police department, you can go to the city administration to get contact information for IA. Finally, you can get an attorney and file a civil harassment suit against the department, but you should really try to address the situation directly with the department first before engaging in a lawsuit.

This is opposed to Chinese, where they would say 為甚麼 (ㄨㄟˋㄕㄣˊㄇㄜ˙/Wèishénme).

What is considered a safe haven for the Chinese Nationalists?
When the Chinese Communists defeated the Chinese Nationalists (Kuomintang/Guomindang) in Mainland China, the Nationalists retreated to the island of Taiwan (also known as Formosa) and established rule over the island. To this day, one of the dominant political parties in Taiwan is the Kuomintang (which goes under the moniker of "the Blue Party").
The irony is that because Kuomintang has unity with mainland China as an aspirational goal (as opposed to its political rivals which seek Taiwanese independence), the Communists in Mainland China prefer to negotiate with Kuomintang leaders in Taiwan than any other major Taiwanese political party.
The streets and sidewalks? Yes, very. But I wish there were more trash cans. I'm not sure what everyone does with their garbage. Maybe, as a culture, they tend to not walk while eating and drinking, but I often find myself tempted to throw a wrapper to the ground because I can't find a bin.
The air, on the other hand, is rather polluted from all of the factories. There seems to always be a haze over populated areas of Taiwan. A lot like Los Angeles.
