I don't think this has ever worked in the history of man, where the driver wins an argument, and the cop admits you're right and lets you go.
If you want to argue, save it for court. If you want the best shot at avoiding a ticket in the first place, be agreeable and don't argue. Police demand respect and submission, as they should because they are tasked with enforcing the law. And if you agree with them, then they got no further beef with you. Police put their lives on the line every single day to protect you and me from the scum of the earth, and they deserve our utmost respect and appreciation. I'm tired of reading posts that bash police. For those of you who hate cops, next time you're in trouble and need help, don't call 911. Just my .02

Agree about the job the police do, but that doesn't give them the right to treat everybody like a hardened criminal. The issue people have, myself included, is that if you are a victim of police abuse, verbal or otherwise, what are you supposed to do to defend yourself?
Since there are a number of LEOs on the forum, maybe one of you can chime in here. What is an ordinary decent citizen supposed to do if a police officer becomes abusive?
