ORIGINAL: pahunkboy In my experience, it is better to be polite. The thing is- when pulled over- the motorist often can be issued more then one ticket. Why make life harder? There are times when my outbursts are mistaken as rage- and it is more frustration onto myself. I don't want to be tazed. But nor will I blab away to enable getting an extra fine. I've got quite a ticket history, personally. It's not an "official" history, of course, because my lawyer makes them all 'go away' in some way or another. However, the closest I came to being arrested was when a cop pulled me from my car because after asking me why I did what he claimed I did, my reply to him was that we would discuss it in court. That was apparently enough to set him off but as I shut my yap after that, he eventually let me go on my way with 3 tickets for my trouble. The funniest part was that, while most of my tickets are "made to go away" by way of deferred adjudication fines or something similar....the three tickets from that particular stop were dismissed out-right. Though I said we could discuss my alleged infraction in court, apparently the cop didn't care to, as he didn't show up.
