rule 1. listen to cops.
rule 2 if you dont, you suffer consequences
it is the only way to take the gray area out of the equation the best you can. it will never be 100% but this is the closest

So lets say I’m walking down the street, minding my own business, when two cops drive up. Now lets say they are looking for someone, and I seem to fit the description. So they tell me to stop, and ask me questions about where I last was, what am I doing, where am I going, all that fun stuff. So I start to get annoyed because, you know, I have done nothing wrong and am being asked bullshit questions. So I answer them anyways, in the best manner I can. Now say they don’t believe me, and try to arrest me because they think I am the guy wanted for insert crime here. Should I really have to listen to them? And should I have to suffer the consequences for not listening to them, even though I know I have done nothing wrong?
I think it is safe to assume that your ‘rules’ are not rules, but merely a guideline to which in most circumstances you should do.
I’m not saying don’t cooperate with cops, but I cooperate to a point. Sometimes they really do over-use the powers that we as a people have given them, and this story about the kid being tasered could be argued both ways.
