I've never had much issue with this regarding vehicular law but in other matters usually. Anyway, I'm just trying to say, don't submit to them just because they have a badge and some authority. They can make mistakes too.

I will agree that no one is perfect and mistakes are made (guess we could argue about "often very much wrong" )....afterall we don't have long beards, wear white flowing robes, and no one worships us on Sunday.... BUT
just understand that there is a time and a place to argue and state your case....and thats in court.....always have believed that everyone deserves their day to present their case. "Field arguments" never end well...and especially in a traffic situation they are dangerous for the officer....the longer next to your car on the side of the road the more chance there is for something bad to happen.
