I actually had to discuss with one of my troops why saying "We can do this the easy way or the hard way" was not appropriate during a traffic stop.

Yikes...they figure it out eventually. A buddy of mine had a gal on a stop who was lambasting him for "Stopping me because (insert favorite ethnic background here) and driving this (insert favorite pimped out car here.)" His reply was, "No. I'm stopping you because you're fat." Didn't see him around for a few days.

"Ma'am, you're violating California Vehicle Code Section 12.34.56, excessive use of gravity."

This one's about as dumb as a post but thinks he's smart.

Fear and intimidation are effective management techniques for his type, cause he sure ain't trainable.

The only thing I have found that works with him is instilling a deep fear of the consequences of doing it wrong.

I prefer to train through problems, but you can't train through attitude problems
