You can choose to be a (lawful) **** to the cops, but unless your dad is one or you're a lawyer, you'll have to accept whatever comes back to you due to it.

If you do ANYTHING even REMOTELY illegal in your car and you say your papers are in the trunk, and if the cop asks you to pop the trunk and allow them to search for the papers, they may possibly decide you've given them the right to search your entire car for whatever. This hopefully wouldn't bother you, but there are worse idiots out there that write off their rights for dumber situations and pay the price when their weed stash wasn't so stashed. Or open alcohol.

But hey, it's your choice to be odd. I have no idea what actually happened to cause him to pull you over (you went over a double yellow line?). But if you did it, then you did it, even if for a brief second.

Also, just don't do burnouts. >.< Let alone in a parking lot that is not yours.
