Yeah, I find that "because you're too scared to stop the big drunk guy over there" doesn't work too well. (FWIW, definitely avoid that one in Parker County; the jail food really sucks there.)
The interactions that go downhill are when the officers starts with "so where are you headed",
Especially when he then wants to argue. "Been working here five years and I've never seen a church over there."
"Well, officer, maybe it's only visible to people with actual souls." (It's about a 12,000 square foot building on a major street with a big steeple and a sign, and two other churches right beside it. Not exactly hidden.)

If you have problems getting the officers information because you want to file a complaint, just make sure they issue a citation. All their info will be on the ticket. If they are abusive but are letting you off with a warning, insist on a citation. :crazy:
