    I've avoided many more tickets by being respectful to a cop than arguing with him.

    Some people never learn...the cops have the gun, the badge and more importantly The PEN! Ever wonder about that saying "the pen is mightier than the sword"? $$$$$$

    Never get into it with a cop or a customer. Because one way or the other, you're gonna lose.

    The only time I every really got in a cop's face it cost me a night in the Yakima County Jail. And some bruises. And some money.
    Lesson learned.

    It's a good thing we live in a country where the accused is tried, convicted, and sentenced by the internet without know any of the actual facts of the situation.

    There's a lot of hate for cops these days. In my experience the vast majority are decent folks. No need to treat the good ones like ####.
