I’ve gotten pulled over my share of times and I’ve never had a problem. I figure cops deal with so many attitudes they are wound tight to begin with so I just act as pleasant and respectful as possible, even if I think I’m in the right. Usually I acknowledge speeding, apologize for taking up his time and more often than not I’ve gotten a warning than a ticket.

Agreed.

keep hands on steering wheel, don't fidget or adjust things.

yes sir, no sir, thank you sir.. sign the ticket...either hand the paperwork to passenger or put in passenger seat.

Sweat the details at a later time...Has always worked for me, and I've never had to utter: "Don't tase me bro"

Bingo.

It ain't rocket science. say "Yes, Sir", "No Sir", smile, give him your papers and you got a good chance of a warning. Act like an idiot (The guy in the video) and you get what you deserve.

Same here. I was pulled for 83 in a 65 a couple of months ago, and 47 in a 35 about a year before that. Was polite on both occasions, hands on wheel, told them I had to open the glove box to get the registration and that I had a knife in there.

First cop knocked my ticket down to 9 miles under the speed limit which kept me from getting points, 2nd cop gave me a warning ticket.
