I've noticed (both on TFP and in my own life) that there are two types of people when it comes to cops. I'll provide a brief example:
After being pulled over for speeding, a police officer asks if he can look in your trunk. You know there is nothing in the trunk besides the spare tire, jack, and a change of clothes for the gym.
Person A allows the officer to take a look, knowing that they've done nothing wrong and that the officer won't find anything.
Person B raises a huge stink, yells at the officer about not having a warrant and that his rights are being broken, etc.
Now, is Person B in the right or in the wrong? Technically, they're probably right, but I'm of the opinion that you have to choose your battles. Then again, I don't have a chip on my shoulder about authority figures and have never had a bad run-in with the police....
