To me, asking "what would happen if I refused to shut it off" sounds like a challenge. Once an adversarial relationship starts it's hard for either side to back down. The funny thing is, if he said "I'm really sorry, I just like to take pictures of trains and I'd really like this shot" there is a chance the cops would've let him take the pictures. And if they didn't there's still another time.In my 21 years as a cop, well at least the 16 yrs before making supervisor (sergeant) I probably let half the people I stopped for traffic violations go with a warning. But I very rarely let someone go who started with an attitude. |
