If I'm observing traffic laws, and not endangering the public there should be no real reason to deploy stop sticks, or "extract" me from my car. Doing that will make a peaceful man an angry one. Plus yaknow, I'd win in court.

That's also an excellent point about Onstar....

I'm sure they can put you through to the right people.

Always w/in reason, you are w/in your legal rights to do that. Obviously, if you're getting pulled over by a clearly marked patrol car you pull over. If someone behind the wheel of a Viper, or a Vette wants to pull me over, my answer would be no.
So did you not pull over for the Mustang's and IROC's we used 20 years ago? Just curious....we had a ton of those with Highway Patrol in Utah.

This car is obviously a police car, there's no reason not to yield to a marked vehicle such as this. If it had visor lights, or the Starsky and Hutch light, I could understand the hesitation, but a full on light bar with markings?
