Although, as much as I agree with you I did get into a full on shouting match with a bunch of cops a while back. I pulled over at a convenience store to get a beverage and my passenger stayed in the car. My passenger that was, I should be clear, not a baby.
A few miles later I get pulled over, lights and sirens by 4 cop cars, two marked with unis and two unmarked with detectives and they surround me, blocking me in front and rear. The unis rush up to the car guns drawn and get me out and start shouting that I'm under arrest and CPS is on the way to take my baby (see above, no baby.)
I'm like, "You morons have the wrong guy. Do you see a baby? Do you see a car seat? Do you have eyes? Put your fucking guns away and think about this."
Apparently someone called in an abandoned baby in a car and gave the description of my car. Which was weird since I was in the place for 5 mins tops. One of the cops was like, "Stop being an asshole, we're just doing our job." as he was walking away.
I replied, "Does doing your job include using your fucking eyeballs before you draw guns and rush into a situation you have completely and totally misread? Yeah, I thought so, keep stepping, flat foot."
I spose it helps that I'm white and was innocent.
