I agree that most cops are good people. It is the bad experiences we have all had with the not so decent ones that stereotype "all" cops together. I have had my share of run ins and I will say I got off A LOT more times for bad shit being nice and respecting the cop then the few times when I was young and dumd and smarted off...

For example, last August i had just got my IROC. It was late (3am) and my wife had to work late so I took her to work. As I said it was late, the car was new (to me) and I started to play a little. Turned down this Industrial Raod and hit it. Now a stock 89 IROC, hitting it isnt much but it will break the 35 mph speed limit. I am "hauling" about 60 in a 35 and I see head lights WAYYY back... first thought, no way, not on this road, so I get to the red light, its red but I am going right so i zip around, no stop, get a little squirley and hit it again. HMMM those head lights are MUCH closee now! POW, there goes the blue and reds... damn! Well cop walks up to the car... I had the engine off, the interior lights on and all my paperwork ready. i was polite, explained that it was new and I was playing around a bit. Gave my stuff back and told me to have a nice night... no ticket for speeding or running the red light.

Just be nice... doesn't always work but i can tell you being a a$$hole to the cop NEVER works!
