So choosing to bite my lip in response to a question instead of mouthing off and potentially causing myself more trouble than it would have ever been worth is spineless?
To me life is about making choices. You choose your battles. This one was a battle that was not worth fighting. For all I know the guy was just trying to make conversation while we waited for my brother to find my tags. It is also possible he was digging for information and hoping I would say something stupid that might give him probable cause to look deeper into me.
Now had he asked me to get out of the car and asked to search my car, it would have been a different story. I would have refused and I would have also refused to answer any questions of his beyond that point.
