If time's at a premium, the "chatting up" tactic you suggest seems rather self-defeating. Engaging each and every driver who passes through a road block in a conversation to see if the driver's intoxicated seems like it would be a monumental time sink. One would think a good cop would be able to spot a drunk behind the wheel without having to conduct any sort of interview at all.

Perhaps you can get paid for advising police departments

Also, this "snotty kid" didn't refuse to talk to the cop at all---he talked with the cop(s) quite a bit.

After he mouthed off he had to. The cops were moving his car and threatening to arrest him.
If this punk conversed the normal way this would have been over in 30 seconds. Everyone else does this. Only this punk has a problem with normal procedure

No thanks; I don't think I'd like the pay cut.

"Mouthed off?" "Punk?" You seem to have something personal at stake here.
