I would honestly probably shove the rest in my mouth, but I would also probably be respectful to the officer and proceed on. My guess is that she probably did something to the effect of flipping the officer off as she proceeded on. I was always taught that you don't have to respect the person behind the badge, but you have to respect the badge. I always give the officer the initial benefit of the doubt, simply because getting snotty with a cop is NEVER a good idea.
my dad's advice was always pretty straightforward and common sense oriented.
Don't argue with the guy holding a gun.
Go to a knife fight, you're gonna get cut.
Listen to your mother.
Yeah, I agree, that's what I would have done, too, but I also would have been respectful...that was the right thing to do. BUT...was she arrested for being disrespectful or for eating...that's the question that bothers me.
