Hurryin_Hoosier,
Good posts. Agree with all you say. Whenever I've been stopped (traffic issues), I ALWAYS pull my wallet out of my pocket and get the registration out BEFORE the officer ever exits his car. Usually have plenty of time as he's running the plate which takes a few seconds or minutes. I then put BOTH hands on the wheel so he/she can see them plainly. I respect that they don't know who they've stopped. From then on it's "yessir", "nosir". And I've instructed my 3 daughters on the same protocol.
There is one city (Troy, MI) where I used to have an office that I was pulled over 4 times in less than a year for some pretty lame reasons. Arrogant, surly, cops. But I reacted the same as I described above. Wasn't happy about it but I just moved my office out of that city when the lease was up. LOL.
I once was a contract programmer working on a Sunday at a customer site. Cops were called for an alarm at a business in the same building. Typing away at a computer, I heard "freeze, police" and turned my head to see a big shiny gun pointed at it. Had little to prove I belonged there (other than the key to get in). Scary? yes. Unsettling? yes. But the cops had no idea what they were up against when they walked in the door. I respected their actions.
As for some of the posts, cops will react to YOUR reaction. If you want to pick a fight, a lot of them will accommodate you. Best advice is not to give them a reason to.
