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?
This. I have been overly polite in my few encounters with the police, and I have police in my family, but the mentality shown by people on this board (many of whom no doubt consider themselves patriotic conservative Americans) makes me realize how easily an overbearing totalitarian government can be established.
