Hard to say what the cop said but I work in a downtown ER and I can tell you, John Q Public has an inflated sense of self and a limited understanding of the implications of making a uniformed officer's life difficult.

Most of the people I meet would respond to your policeman's request with an FU.

I used to do ride alongs with a college buddy who was a cop. I quickly realized that I could never be a cop because about 1/4 of the people he dealt with, I would have shot and felt like I did the world a service.

You would be.
