I could have fun with this:

Mr. Boy, were you sitting behind the wheel of the automobile?
Yes.
Were the doors locked? I warn you that you are under oath.
Yes.
Did you have the car's keys with you?
Yes.
Were they in the ignition?
I don't remember.
You were sitting behind the wheel of the car, doors locked, and you don't remember if the keys were in the ignition?
Yes.
How much did you have to drink that evening?
[Objection. Relevance. Move to Strike]
Your Honor, I have witnesses who will testify that my client was under the impression that the boy had been drinking, and that this motivated him to ask the boy to step out of the vehicle.
[Overruled.]
How much did you have to drink that evening?
A few beers.
A few beers? More than three or four? More than six?
I don't remember.
Have you ever been arrested for drunk driving?
[Objection. Relevance. State's witness is not on trial here]
Your Honor, I have witnesses that will testify that the boy's mother and father were concerned that the boy would drive off, and that motivated my client to ask him to step out of the vehicle.
[Overruled]
Have you ever been arrested for drunk driving?
Yes.
Your Honor, defense introduces Exhibit A, which is an affadavit from the Wisconsin Secretary of State that show the boy's driver's license was suspended at the time of this incident.

A monkey could take it from here.

To the boy -
Why did you open the door ?
Because he flashed soething at me and I thought he was a cop.
Did he say he was an officer ?
Maybe, I can't recall but I certainly had the impression he was
To the mother -
Did he identify himself as a police officer?
No, he came from behind me and showed his ID to boy.
To the dad -
Did he ever tell you he was NOT a cop ?
I don't recall him saying that.
What did you see ?
He walked over, showed his ID to boy and boy got out of the car.
Did it appear to you that he was acting as a police officer would ?
Not really, a cop would have shot him...

( objection ! )
