How to interact with a police officer(s)

Never have had any problems with any LEO in my adult life. As an immature teenager was another story. Didn’t know what showing (or having) respect for authority was at the time. Most learn early, eventually or the hard way, and in many cases sadly never. You either actually respect authority and know how to show it or you don’t respect authority yet know how to show it. Anything less is a recipe for problems. Either one is smart enough to know how it works or simply has some underlying unresolved personal issue(s). Intelligence or ignorance will decide an outcome usually.
