He didn't say anything to me. He just gave her the warning ticket and we were on our way.

Some are more laid back and friendly, others are all business.

In case this kinda thing happens again, I'll definitely be more considerate. I understand there are lot of crazy folks out there and as a cop in the middle of nowhere with no partner you don't want to turn your back on people. I realize that now, but at the time I was confused as hell.
