They ain't all bad. I just got pulled over for expired tabs,..dude was friendly, courteous and didn't hassle me at all.
I had the tabs, just didn't stick em on yet. Second vehicle, Honda Pilot. He could've given me a ticket but let me off. Cops can be cool, and he was.

Been stopped plenty of times and only had trouble with one. None of my doing, but he was fired about a year after stopping me, and he needed it.

As a former CHP officer I can attest:
Bottom line is a cop is there to enforce the law. If you are breaking the law then be a man and own up. 99% of people know they are breaking the law at the time of the offense. If you are respectful to them they will show the same to you. You get an attitude and the situation naturally escalates.
I have had numerous people talk themselves into a ticket in my day. Pull them over knowing you were going to give a warning and set them free then they start their schiff show and boom, ticket time, then escalates and arrest time. If a cop stops you for breaking the law then the cop has the legal authority & responsibility to control the situation.
I had a few, after writing a ticket they would peal out slinging gravel and peppering me and the cruiser. Boom, arrest time for assaulting an officer and damaging government property. Those were always the fun ones!
If you are confronted by a LEO, remain calm and follow all orders given to you. The LEO's are there to enforce the law. Yeah it sucks, but that is the whole point. Actions have consequences!

I'd far rather deal with a Deputy Sheriff than a State Trooper in this state. Deputies have always be reasonable to deal with ime. My wifes Grandson, who lived here right up to the day he got his ass tossed in the Clinker, always saw to it that we had numerous visits from them.

I pulled a lady cop over for thumping a cigarette butt out at the stop light. I let her off with a warning about mitigated littering and even let her slide on referring her to the HR over smoking in city govt vehicle. Lucky for her I was in a good mood that day.

Some good, some a@@holes. Haven't had a ticket in over 25 years, but I got pulled over a few weeks ago because I didn't come to a stop when I left the gas station and pulled onto the city street. I even know the guy. Our boys were classmate thru school. I'm pretty sure he would be an a@@hole no matter what profession he chose.

I asked a Sheriff friend once for the straight skivvy on how much you can be driving over the posted limit before you risk getting pulled over.
He said "Rule of thumb: 9 you're fine, 10 you're mine."
