[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1199222, member: 4362"] IMO. No you wouldn't have been wrong. Stupid to do so but not wrong. And yes, you should expect him to drill you further. This is his job. Just like the police officer who saw Obama's buddy, the black professor who had locked himself out of his home and was seen trying to jimmy the front door open. Had this been me, I would expect nothing less than for the officer to stop and question what I was doing and had the racist professor acted civilly and explained the situation to the officer rather than turning the thing into a race issue the whole thing would have been over with in seconds. Instead it was turned into a national race fiasco. You were out of place and the officer was just checking to see if you were up to no good. That is their job isn't it? Now had you gotten out of your car and called the officer a MF'ing pig and screamed at him that you know your rights and you ain't got to do it, things would have been stepped up a notch. I imagine had you kept escalating things with verbal abuse and unruly behavior things could have progressed even further to where you either got to chew on a Maglite or even get to dance with Miss Taser. But why on earth would you not cooperate with the officer when he is only doing his job? I am sure you don't disrespect your hostess at a restaurant when they ask you your name. Had you been broke down and needed a jump you would have been thankful - or should be. But I imagine had you needed a jump start and he drove past you you'd be bytching because he left you stranded and it is his job to serve and protect. [/QUOTE]
