Like being arrested for resisting arrest.

  Well, it is possible to get there with a sufficiently bad attitude.

    Attitude isn't criminal.

      Maybe not, but with cops it's stupid. And it can get you dead, if things go very wrong. Extreme politeness is the best course, in my experience.

        That's an understandable survival strategy, but it's also a gross injustice which should be fixed. Again I'll offer the example of Germany: cops are basically all armed, but they're very slow to pull out their gun. Even if you run at them with a knife, they'll aim for your legs. Saves a lot of lives, with just training and culture.

  Anytime someone mentions that, I'm reminded of the SFPD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qhzdxYnwhg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qhzdxYnwhg

    God, that makes my blood boil. That's insane. Looks like the officer, Sgt. Brian Stansbury, got off with nothing: https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160313/12001133892/complaint-board-finds-police-officers-violated-policy-arresting-public-defender-who-demanded-they-stop-questioning-her-clients.shtml https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20160313/12001133892/compl...

    I am not familiar with this, what was the problem with photos and stepping aside, why she didn't want to do it?
