For the most part, cops don't mess with me when on the bike. My tag is not visible at all and cops like to ride my ass... I just smile and wave.
I did have a real asshole the other day... A friend of mine broke the glove handle in my car, cop asks for my reg, I explain that I cant get the reg out, he gives me an $80 ticket for "Driving an expensive car with a broken glove box"... what a bunch of shit.
In any situation with the police, be polite, keep your mouth shut, hire a good attorney if things go south. The street is not the place to argue your point.
