That 'question' is designed to get you on the back foot straightaway, and shift the control to the old bill. They don't like the answer (especially when it's 'wait, don't tell me, let me just guess, I can get this if you give me enough time, or a clue - maybe two of them') and their 2nd question is "waht's with the bad attitude". Yeah, like I'm kicking my fucking heels with joy at being randomly stopped because some cunt is bored.
All old bill are control freak power tripping egotists with a superiority complex (yeah I know it's redundant). It's just the nature of what's required to be one. This is the ultimate test of whether a copper is a class A cunt:
woman speeding doing 100mph turns out to be the copper's mum. He:
a) nicks her anyway, and shows being a jobsworth is more important than ensuring his mum doesn't get a driving ban
b) lets it slide, and ignores any oath to uphold the law, deciding he/she is the one to decide who gets punished
^ = you can't be a copper without being a cunt. Fact!

Seems like everyone on GFY hates cops. I did too when I was 24. All they wanted to was harass me.
The other day I was driving down the street and I saw a cop and hit my brakes. And it hit me like a rock - there was no reason for this. I'm no longer 24, not speeding, and the cop isn't going to be harassing me. The truth is cops harass you for a reason - not because they are dicks, but because you a dick. I see it all the time on the freeway - I'm driving 70 to 75, I'm already speeding, but I'm being a "good boy" and staying in my lane, not tailgating, not passing on the left... And then I see some jackass in a hurry changing lanes four times in less than a mile, going faster than everyone else, passing on the left, not using his blinker, and then dive bombing for his exit. And then when he gets pulled over he wonders why the police are picking on him.
Someone else here mentioned a while back that they got arrested for smoking in a public park. They were breaking a local law - which was most likely set up because local residents were tiered of gangs of people smoking while they were jogging or playing with their kids or whatever - and when cops approached them instead of saying "sorry" and quickly putting out the smokes they were dicks, refusing to put it out, saying it was their park, they had rights, and then refusing to hand over ID. They hauled into jail for a few hours.
Cops just want to do their job and go home without shot.
Treat a cop like a dick, and you'll get the same back. Call him sir, put on your big boy pants, admit what you did, and take the punishment already.
