I have had a couple of tickets in my life and no cop was smart aleck to me and I wasn't smart aleck to them. If you roll through a stop sign, you get a ticket. This is the FIRST place I have ever lived that anyone would question a stop sign means stop.
I am not sympathetic.
I also think that "I am sorry" compared with "whatdyamean I rolled through a stop sign?? Don't you guys have better things to do than arrest law abiding citizens??? Wazzamatta, you short on your quota today????" Each elicits a different response from an officer of the law. I am biased. I was raised in a cop's household and he was a good one and so were his buddies.
