On the other hand, has anyone read the riot act to a cop during a stop? Although it's not something I would ever do today, I did.
I was going home, 11 PM, roads not busy, coming to a stop for a light and the cop, lights and siren, comes flying up behind me - I didn't think he was going to stop in time and he scared the living daylights out of me. He comes to the window, asks for the papers and got them and I ask, "what is the problem?" While he's flashlighting around the interior of my car, he stammers out some lame bullsht about a report of a driver with a knife in the area. After a minute, he's satisfied it isn't me, and he starts to walk off, but I'm still shaking, so ...
I got out of the car and slammed the door so hard the cupholder in the window well (filled with change) flew out and dumped all over the road. I stalked over to him, told him in no uncertain terms that he had no business scaring the crap out of me and "what is your name and badge number?" He gave me the info, got in his patroller, U-turned and left me in the road, at night, stopped at the light, picking up my change. I wanted to strangle him.
