I am just asking because I got pulled over the other day, and the cop gave me shit for having them. Said that they were better suited for law enforcement, and that as a defensive round, there are better options out there. I don't share that opinion.

I looked at frangibles about 15 years ago as a defensive round and stay far away from them. While the wound channel they leave might tend to look cool, they penetrate worse than hollow points and penetration is the name of the game.
You need your bullet to reach vitals, regardless of whether your target is 350 pounds, turned sideways, at an angle, behind glass, and sheetrock, and 3 layers of denim. If your round goes through your target fully, excellent. Two holes bleed faster than one.
The following is an excellent read from the FBI on handgun wounding factors and effectiveness. I highly encourage you (and everyone else) to read it. It's very easy to read and makes a lucid argument for penetration and caliber choice.
