I'm sure Earp family dinners were QUITE civil.
...until the gravy ran out.
"Pass the yellow gravy"
"Are you calling me yella?"

About an hour and a half later we were back on our way to work, after said cop had written him up for about a half dozen equipment violations (real or imagined). Fortunately we avoided the cavity search.
He spent the night in jail.
I think that we have far too many cases where cops get in people's faces for no good reason. Folks should not get pulled over for being black, and such.
However, if you *actively and directly* seek to cheese off the cops, I have a hard time having a lot of sympathy for you.
Sec. 53a-167a. Interfering with an officer: Class A misdemeanor. (a) A person is guilty of interfering with an officer when such person obstructs, resists, hinders or endangers any peace officer, special policeman appointed under section 29-18b or firefighter in the performance of such peace officer's, special policeman's or firefighter's duties.
(b) Interfering with an officer is a class A misdemeanor.

Abuse of power is abuse of power. Ticking off a cop, volontarely or not, isn't a reason to end up in jail or get tickets. Tolerating it only leads to cops continuing to abuse their powers.
