Illegal to talk to a Police Officer?

[tater]

I've been pulled over a few times in my life, and the cops were always polite. Some were more cold/business, but none were rude or yelled. Of course I was always respectful to them to start with. I suppose it would be my right to act like an ass, but it would be stupid.

I know the answer to this, but:

"Why would it be stupid?"

I've come close to sharing similar experiences, but the argument always remains the same: "The cops suck and <drone drone blah blah blah> *patooey*!!"

One thing I will say is this; they were there for us when we really needed them, and I will always carry that gratitude with me. "Thank you, whoever you are." ... I never did get their names.
