> Police have the unfair advantage: power. Yes. That is by design. Doormats don't make for a useful police force. > Every person who interacts with a police officer has to deal with the element of uncertainty you are talking about. No, actually. You're familiar with their capabilities and the rules within which they lawfully (and unlawfully) operate. Intelligence is clearly on your side. There is no "uncertainty" when it comes to police; you seem to know exactly what to expect and how to manipulate them into any particular outcome enough to be able to exploit it on camera. That is the antithesis of uncertainty. If there were uncertainty, people would be too afraid to fuck with them like this. It's certain you can safely do this. Cooperation tends to work pretty well for most people. Belligerence escalates the situation. Be the change you want to see.
