There's not always a choice though. Let's be real, cops lie and issue threats. They'll even go as far as to purposefully agitate you so they can arrest you for some kind of resisting arrest BS.
They use their knowledge of the law to circumnavigate it and then use that against you. In most professions that kind of behavior is illegal with harsh penalties. (maybe not banking ) Being a cop isn't an honest profession, which is why many people don't ****ing like cops.
Has a cop ever lied to you, tried to threaten you? Like, to search your car for example? When that happens, you better go into super lawyer 5000 mode, or your ass is sitting on the curb for a cpl hours while you watch the police rip up your interior. That happened to me when I was a teen and to this day it still pisses me off. Not at the police, but at myself because I was a scared kid and didn't know my rights; I believed the cops threats and lies. Good lord my dad **** a brick when I came home late with the car ripped up.
