The thing is that the uniform is in charge. Keep the temperature low. Be compliant.

For those hammer-heads with the "boot-licker" comments, you can wander off to play somewhere else, preferably in traffic.

The place for adversarial approaches is in court, not on the bricks.

Exactly. There were two times in my life where I was an *** to the officers, both when I was in my 20s. One: I was into Low Riders back in the day. I was part of a small Truck Club. 1991 Chevy S-10 Tahoe. Two tone red, with a 4/5 inch drop, cap, Sweet n Low on the back window. Got passed by a sky jacking 4x4. Officer pulled me over because my ride height wasn't "legal height". Good Ole boy jagoff, and told him as much. Two: on my way into work, working nights. Both incidents in Maryland. I observed a State Trooper tailgating a senior woman, trying to scare her into going over the limit. I was going the opposite direction. Turned into a side road to stop off at my parents. State boy coming the opposite direction passes me, whips around, gets on my *** and pulls me over. Now, mind you I was doing 35 in a 35. He gets on my ***, Follows me about a half mile, then pulls me over.

License, Registration, Insurance. Asks me if I know why he pulled me over. My response: " I have no idea, officer. I was going the posted speed. However, I noticed your buddy out there tailgating a little old lady. You need to tell your buddies that if you do that to me again, you will be chewing on my rear bumper, because I WILL lock up all 4 wheels. Then, I will let my lawyer handle the rest." He was passed at that. He gave me my stuff back, said "just watch your speed" and left in a huff. I have always given officers a respectful attitude and encounter other than those two times. I cannot abide jackassery.

I don't think I've been pulled over by a cop in in 15 years.

That said, this article seems to be more about what happens when a plain clothes cop encounters a uniformed cop.

I had encounters with cops at work all the time.

I only had one cop that really gave me a ration at work.

One night I pulled into a substation on the east edge of town and backed up to the gate to do my checks (walk around the fence and check gates and look for holes). I had time to call in my location and annotate my log and another car pulls in to the Substation.

I called that in and stepped out of my car to investigate. The driver shines a spot light in my face and gets out.

I couldn't see the vehicle because there was Spotlight in my face. I couldn't see any uniform because there was a spotlight in my face.

There are a lot of people in Colorado Springs to drive around in used police cars because they're cheap.

There are also people in Colorado Springs who beat up security guards and take their guns.

So I pulled out my flashlight and lit the guy's face up. He started raising hell and getting badge heavy and all that

We had a few words. I reminded him that I was in a clearly marked security vehicle. I told him that I was acting as the agent of the property owner and that I every right to be there. And I asked him what he was doing on my private property.

About then his supervisor pulled in and listened to both of our sides of the story and told the deputy to leave.

He didn't exactly apologize to me but he left very shortly there after
