I think you are missing my point...cops have a valuable job to do and for the most part do it well. Ask yourself how your mood and attitude would change if every day smartasses walked in to your job and were ********. You'd get pretty burned out pretty fast, don't fool yourself. So maybe instead of 'exercising your rights' for no other reason than to pump up your balls you smile and politely say, 'No nothing to drink'. THEN when they try to pull a fast one and ask to search your car...THEN you say, 'No, you may not and I assume I am free to go.'

IMHO.
I try to get other people to do things they don't have to do at work all the time. Most of the time they do it, sometimes they don't. If cops are going to ask people to do things that the people don't have to do, they have to expect some push back. If dealing with a public who generally wants to be left alone by police is something that's going to burn them out, I would say they picked the wrong job.

IMHO.
