...the laws are heavily slanted in such a way that anything other than doing exactly as the officer demands is likely to get you a charge, a trip to the booking desk, and a couple grand in fees by the time you bail out, pay court costs, and sign on for fines just to avoid even more expensive court costs and risk of trial where you are represented by a public defender who has a heavy case load and probably is so overworked that they don’t care about you as their client, or you can pay for private representation and write another check. It takes no time flat for a person to go from upstanding citizen to $10,000 fines and probation, for doing what they believe to be legal and reasonable.
