I grew up in Hammond ...
Been back once since 1980.
Never had a problem with police.

The person that wrote A Christmas Story, Jean Sheppard(?), also grew up in Hammond.
I'm certain the movie is based on Hammond, because he makes references
to "... up in Chicago..." and "... down in Griffith...", and there is a street
called Hohman, which is the ficticious name of the city where the story is placed.

The police in Hammond must have been a whole lot nicer back then.
