Not all officers are like this though, so if you are not a drug dealing thug all u need to do is be nice and apologize for whatever you did. If your car is full of equipment violations expect to get stopped.

Seconded! I let people go all the time for even the most blatant traffic infractions, as long they own up.
Now, if I were to stop you for blowing a red light
seconds after it turns red, and you call me a swear word or two, the outcome may be a bit different.
