ltppowel,
You said it just right...the small town/county cops/deputies that have to "make work" are the ones to fear usually. Those that don't have to look for something to do are usually better to deal with.
BB,
If you want to get to brass tacks...the SCOTUS says police can lie to obtain a confession. Certainly they can lie about why they stopped you if they don't ticket or arrest you.
