A comment on California Cops Can't Ask Drivers 'Do You Know Why I Pulled You Over?'. Parent comment
Cop (agitated): "Do you know why I stopped you?"
Me (apologetic, talking fast): "Yep"
Cop: "You're a fucking idiot"
Me: "I agree, that was really stupid"
Cop: "What the fuck were you thinking?"
Me: "I don't know, it was indecision"
[...]
Cop: "When I get back to the station I'm going to write you a huge fucking ticket"
Me: "Fair enough, I deserve it, it was really stupid"
The guy was a plain clothes detective in an unmarked car driving directly behind me and I'd just run a red light quite late, obviously speeding.
I've always found Sydney cops fair and reasonable, but I would never try this in the US.
I never got the ticket.
