Nah. It's actually no biggie. I've only had to use it a few times. It came as advice from my lawyer after having been involved peripherally a few years ago, as a witness, in one IAD case. I grew up around law enforcement (best friend's father was FBI, and current friends in Secret Service etc.). Also, in Fed-land (e.g. Northern Virginia) where nearly everyone's family is in some form of government/legal service, I suspect the public/police interactions are atypical. As a result, talking to cops in both personal and professional contexts isn't a novel experience. IMO, Virginia also has professional cop culture. I always recommend folks view this lecture given by Virginia's Regent Law School ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8z7NC5sgik http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8z7NC5sgik ).
