I certainly agree with that, and it behooves each of us to be aware of it.

When a cop tells me to do something I will do it. He is the boss at that time, and if he is wrong we can settle it later with the chief, but he is in charge at a traffic stop and especially at a shooting. I don't remember the last time I had an encounter with a cop, but he is the boss.

I agree with the thinking that at the side of the road in a tense situation is not the time to argue the Constitution. :)
