Next time you get pulled over and the cop asks for your ID, raise your voice and start yelling at him and see what happens.

getting pulled over and being on your own property are two different things. If you're pulled over its for a reason and mouthing off to an officer won't prevent you getting a ticket or possible arrest for disorderly conduct. NOW, if you're in your own HOME and on your property you can saw what ever you want. An officer coming to your door and then pretty much telling to stop swearing inside your own home or on your porch... does not give the right for them to arrest you. He showed ID so they knew it was his property, the should of left regardless if he was swearing at them from the porch or inside his home.
yeah lets allow all officers to arrest anyone swearing or being rude to them from within there home. yup, make them exit there home and arrest them, thats a perfect way to run things.
