I don't know. Sometimes I think cooperating with cops can get you a lot---even consenting to a search. Especially (unfortunately) if you're white and upper class looking. Refusing to do what a cop asks you to will pretty much always piss them off. Most of the time, that's okay, but sometimes you just want to be let on your way and be left alone.

This is exactly why laws exist and should, ideally, be applied impartially. I'd feel much better depending on the law than a cop's favorable feelings about me. I don't mind pissing off a cop of to assert my rights.
