These days you'd get a letter in your file for failing to follow the use of force matrix. In many ways, being a lawman was a lot easier back then. Nowadays you have to be all edjumacated and whatnot!

You piss me off all the time, but I still love you.
just teasing you!
I just wished I did it more often and a lot better than what I do.
Uhhh, it is Boss Hogg.....(I love Daisy Duke's shorts...)
Riiiight, just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they really aren't out to get you......
Seriously, I am as non-conformist as anyone, borderline Libertarian, but if this is the what I have to get upset about enough to post about it on the internet.........
I think people look for reasons to get pissed or indignant. Not picking on the OP, just shaking my head on some of the posters....
Lots of people go most of their life times NEVER having been stopped by the cops. When they get stopped by a cop looking for crap, they usually don't like the way they are treated.
A cop is going to look for signs of wrong doing, and if he doesn't see anything suspicious, send them on their way ASAP.
Not politely or nice, just do his screening and get them down the road to check somebody else.
I don't like the third degree or the cop going on a fishing expedition when they pull me over for a traffic violation.
They have a job to do and I understand that. So should most other people.
That doesn't mean you have to like their methods.
One thing to remember though, an inquisitive, prying cop is the one that nailed Tim McVeigh a few hours after the OKC Bombing.
I've been through 2 traffic stops in the last year and both times I was asked where I was headed. So no, they're not just making small talk, and I agree it's none of their business where i'm going as long as I am a free citizen. On the other hand, I understand that they are doing their job and everyone they stop gets asked the same question.
The last time it happened, I was headed to the lake at 6 am with my 16 yr old son and his friend. After he looked in the bed of my truck at the dozen or so rods and reels, tackle boxes and minnow buckets, I nearly cracked up when he said,"where ya headed?".... It was all I could do to keep from saying,"here's your sign".

Sounds like my wifej/k

Indeed.
it wouldnt let it bother me but there is times there tone of voice of any LEO can get on your nerve a little but they are few and far between...iv seen a couple over the years, i just play along and get a good laugh at how they act but they could be have'n a bad day or ya dont know who they pulled over last...like i said just get a good laugh out of them...they are not the majority, most are very polite fellas...
I usually just tell them I'm headed to the toilet and I'm an old man, could they please hurry up......
A fun reply would have been "To a hotel to meet a hooker." But then, your wife would probably not find that very funny.
At a sobriety checkpoint last summer, a deputy sheriff asked me if I had any reason to believe that the FBI was looking for me.
