Odd, every time I have had contact with the police, I have been respectful and tried to make their job easier and safer. I've got a few well deserved tickets over the years, but I've also gotten out of
way more by simply being respectful.
Sitting on the side of the highway with traffic roaring by...thats where his guy
works. Your standing in his office. If I barged into your office and started ranting about how much you suck, would you give me a warm welcome?
Sorry, I'm as libertarian as they come, but I think peoples anti cop rants are juvenile at best.

Real friendly officer from the git go, I was ultra polite and said "good evening, how's it going" when he approached my door. Hands on the wheel, motor off. When he told me about my speed and asked if there was any reason I was speeding, I just shrugged and said 'eh, no excuse"
He came back a minute later with my license, thanked me several times for my honesty, we joked around for a minute, and he let me go with a warning. Just be polite and make it a pleasant experience for them, and often times they'll return the favor.
