Being a dick to a cop isn't going to help anyone's case. It's only going to make things worse and make the cop want to fuck with you that much more.

Behaving in a civilized respectful manner is the best course of action, and it increases the probability of getting the benefit of the doubt.

Because if all your stupid friends see you harassing an officer, you're cool or some shit. I dunno, I don't really understand that phenomenon. They have an entire system in place where the more likely you are to get shot or end up in prison, the more street cred you have.

^^ This. I've been pulled over a couple of times. Normally for things like forgetting to turn my headlights on after sunset or something along those lines. Once because it was one of those alcohol check points (I don't remember what they're called.)
I'm always polite. Smile. 100% cooperative. For this, I have a spotless driving record. Not even one speeding ticket (then again I don't speed so. *shrug*)
Being respectful not only keeps me from getting my ass kicked, it also keeps me from getting tickets. Sometimes their attempts at flirting can get awkward, but I figure as long as they're comfortable? I get to live. If you feel comfortable enough to try to try to charm me, you're likely to not pull me out of my car. Simple as that.

They have not changed against the people. If anything they are held more accountable today. Do you know what the difference is in your perception? Sensationalist press.

They didn't tolerate the nonsense they do today, minorities didn't run their mouths about "you can't do that, I know my rights" bullshit, they knew better.

Am I the only one who never has been searched? The only question they ever asked me was "do you know how fast you were going?" or "have you had anything to drink tonight?" That's it. Why are you people arousing all their suspicions? Do you have like white person dreads or something? If you want to get into drug business don't be a fucking skid. As matter of fact they call me "sir" now.

I respect cops because if i don't they get a huhe hard on, to fuck you over and ruin any plans you have. Then i talk shit all day about cops, and play gta and go on cop killing sprees.
Gta definitely has some therapeutic value to it.
Also everytime i have been asked if i would let them call the dogs, or have them search my car, i always say yes. They walk back in the car, come back and let me off with a warning or just give me the traffic ticket.
I have a question though. Am i doing it right? I figure i say i have no problem with them searching me, then if they ask me to step out of the car, then this is the moment i ask what probable cause they have, not when they ask to see my reaction to the possibility, right?
And op, respecting cops will definitely help you get back from that road trip your planning, without a criminal record. It would also probably help if you pull off all the "meat is murder" bumper stickers off your car too. Anything you can do to look less individual is going to go a long way.

It's just not a good idea to disrespect a cop Your only asking for more trouble if you instigate cops If you dress and speak respectably and not driving a flashy car a lot of times you can just "nerd up" and act like any other normal church going law biding citizen They most likely just let you go with no trouble in my experience

Most might start out as good people, but something about dealing with crime and bullshit all day turns a majority of them into elitist, uncompassionate, power hungry, neanderthals. A good handful of them become down right sociopaths devoid of any empathy whatsoever. They lose objectivity and the ability to look at a situation and realize that suspect probably isn't defined by this one thing they got caught for. Everyone becomes a dangerous criminal that is guilty until proven innocent regardless of the benignity of their crime.
That's no reason to go getting stupid and act like you can win in any confrontation (that word is important, I don't mean any contact, I mean active confrontation) with them. They will always win. You may be cleared of wrong doing down the line, but at the point of first contact, you will NOT win.
Cops are specifically trained to keep escalating the situation to establish their authority/dominance. This is in their training. In theory it's a great idea for a person looking to maintain control of a situation and keep things in line, in practice it's a really shitty one. The escalating rarely goes as planned or has the desirable outcome.
