let me know how that strategy works out for you.

I'm not disagreeing that arguing with a cop is a bad idea. I don't do it b/c it's not worth the potential outcome (plus I'm a clean cut white male who drives a nice car - not really a target for cop abuse). But the fact that we've created a class of people that cannot be questioned for fear of arrest, assault or death is just messed up. Would you be ok with granting this same all-encompassing authority to other professions? Would it be cool if you could be arrested for arguing with a customer service rep?
