That determination isn't up to you. I bet you don't even know all the laws on the books where you live so you have no idea if you have violated something that you don't know about. Keep up your defiance, you'll just be another statistic that you'll cry about being a victim for.
You may want to remind the "if you don't want trouble from cops, don't break the law" crowd of this.
There are so many laws on the books, you need a JD to really be completely law abiding.
Its stupid to confront a cop directly. They will do whatever it takes to win even if it means killing you.
And they will have all of the laws, the entire political and government structure, and society's blessing/sanction behind them when they do.
On the street, they are in charge and our entire society has chosen to give them that authority. In a court of law, they are are far more vulnerable, and that is where responsible citizens who want both effective government and continuation of their own life should handle any dispute with police.

What????? I live in the same world as you, and I have NO problem obeying the laws and staying out of trouble. This isn't rocket science, just good, common sense. Just use the brain God gave you.
But some people have to push the boundaries, and then they complain when they screw up. Plus, there are some people who just do not care and who live a lifestyle that is not like most of us live. Those are the people who have a difficult time when a cop stops them.

You think all laws are based on common sense? You must be new to life. Welcome!

You would like that wouldn't you.... Problem is that I don't fit the statistical model. I also have resources to fight back legally. I refuse to lick boots.
I agree with respect to the driver. However, the police need reasonable suspicion of criminal activity and being a passenger in a vehicle does not even come close to meeting that standard.
Reasonable suspicion isn't a very high standard. The driver not having a license; the woman not giving her name; both exiting the car and refusing to get back in. Cops can use nervousness and evasive to justify reasonable suspicion. If she did get 'irate' when asked her name, even worse for her.

Did it turn out that these people had warrants and/or stuff in the car that they were not supposed to have?
I have never been pulled over. I choose to comply with traffic laws. If I ever do get pulled over, I am not going to do anything to cause the situation to escalate.
Then again, there are no warrants for my arrest and there would not be a weapon or drugs in my car.
OK and Do you know it happens to innocent people too- think you maybe someone else--- it happens -- in any case two wrongs here
