I seriously beg to differ. The "Contempt Of Cop" concept has been around since the first cop walked the beat. It's an outgrowth of the idea that ANY challenges to a cop's authority must be dealt with severely and immediately. Otherwise, in the minds of the cops, respect for the law--in the person of the indiviual officer--goes down the toilet.I've seen cops who are professional, calm, and courteous in the face of the worst provocation. I've also seen cops goad people into getting arrested, just by pushing people's buttons. It goes both ways. However, getting into a pissing contest with a cop is never a good idea. If things blow up, you can always fight it out in court later. There is no due process at the end of a baton or 9 mm. Never provoke the cops... |
