"Show me your hands" means what it it means...Really. How many of us regularly get into contests of wills with officers of the peace? I know I don't. The few times I've been pulled over I accept that the situation is now under the officer's control, and it was, and things went smoothly, and I ended up going on my way, with peace and civility had by all.
I guess I should have argued every step of the way and made a huge fantastic ass of myself, like taser boy and quran guy. Looking back, though, I have no regrets.
Yeah, with me it was always “yes sir osifer...((;O)
Best for all. Objections can be expressed afterwards. Being civil has the added effect of bringing credibility to your complaint as to the event, if you choose to make a complaint.
