So, guess what, after all of that, what would you have accomplished? Well, by establishing your alleged superior knowledge of your rights, you will have single-handedly proclaimed to every law enforcement officer that you are an a-hole, and now your every move will be under constant scrutiny. Don't worry, the next time you do get caught doing anything wrong, you can go ahead and be rest-assured that there will be absolutely no chance that you'll ever get off with a warning ever again. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that your next traffic stop will involve an officer inspecting every little thing about your car to make sure he catches EVERY SINGLE violation he can.

In effect, you would have screwed yourself. Good job

To the OP, sorry this thread got jacked. That's cool that you played it smoothly and made that little kid's day/week/month/year It's always good to hear that the Camaro family gives back to the community even when they least expect it
thats is very true...make friends not enemies especially those who have power over you.

Imagine if he started mouthing off to a cop who was having a bad day

I love this story Jekyll i just told a few friends and they even said how cool it was that you did that
