Cops are trained to provoke people to see if they have any animosity towards those in authority. When I got a misdemeanor traffic ticket for excessive speeding on a 6 lane road here in Arizona, the cop kept verbally provoking me verbally to elicit a response. I did not reciprocate or fall for the trap. But it ended up costing me $3,500 in attorneys fees, fines and court charges for going 60 in a 40. A real shake down racket. The cop even called in backup from a canine unit. The intimidation was over the top for a compliant traffic violator. I even asked if I was being arrested since they were charging me with a misdemeanor. The provocation of the tax officer started this episode shown on video. She should have asked for the guy's street address. These cops get cushy retirements and have to justify their jobs by such excessive actions.

It is A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, unfortunately without the accompanying humour.
