Default I think you missed the point.

In your scenario, you place yourself in the position of the criminal. If you don't become combative or try to flee you may get off with a warning to be more careful. But if you do become combative or try to flee and become a threat to others, bad things can happen and (in my opinion) it all will be your fault for not obeying the officer.
If, however, you are attempting to portray the officer who made the mistake, then imho your scenario is invalid.
