It seems there is a group of people who constantly wants to bash the cops after one of their family or friends are stopped by a cop and fail to comply to instructions given.

Most of us have been stopped once in their life by a cop for a traffic violation and did follow orders and nothing happened and often could drive off with a warning not to do it again.

The last time I was pulled over by a cop was for honking twice to a car in front of me who had the right to take a turn on right through a red light and no traffic was coming for a while.

The cop on a motor bike pulled me over after I took the right turn after the other car and I obeyed orders and he told me next time to honk once instead of twice although he stated he could see my nuisance with a driver standing in front of a red light while it is your right to take the right turn by going through the red light. That car in front of me had a Florida license tag but could have been a rental...not sure.

The cop even stated he had the same thoughts about the car not taking the turn but felt it may be because they were afraid to take the turn with a police officer being there at the same light. I only saw the cop after the 2nd time honking

But why not complying and being obnoxious as you know it can result in an arrest and the blood pressure of the person not complying is going up, more stress and bad for your health and waste of time for the police officer who doesn't have to deal with this either as at the time wasted he could spend time going after other bad people instead of someone who may want to be on TV and wants to have their 5 min. of fame.
