I have a lot more respect for that kind of direct approach. I'd rather hear that than, "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Hell if you don't know, then why are you asking me?

I think way too much effort is spent on traffic stops trying to get a self-incriminating statement. What's the point, if you saw it, make the decision to give a warning or a ticket, then move on. I had a cop nearly stand on his head trying to get me to admit I was speeding. I wasn't, I knew I wasn't and I stood my ground. I got a warning. I figure he wasn't really sure himself and was just trying to get me to make the decision for him.

I don't care that much about receiving a ticket, I can live with that, but I'm not ever going to admit to any PO that I broke a law. If you do that you deserve what you get.
