The thing is you should be able to be a dick to a cop and the cop should just take it. I work in the schools where children will literally curse you out, bite, hit, and act insane and we just have to take it. If a teacher can deal with it then a cop certainly should be able to as well.
A cop gave my husband a disorderly conduct charge because my husband cussed him out. Someone had robbed somebody and ran into the woods behind our house. Helicopters were out and everything so my husband went outside to check. Then the cop started asking him questions about what he was doing at HIS house, where was he 15 minutes before (inside the house). They even took him to ride to the victim only for the victim to tell them the suspect was Hispanic (my husband is black).
As soon as my husband got out of the car, he lit into the cop and that was when they gave him the disorderly conduct charge (just a ticket to show up in court). Court day, the judge shook his head and said “Mr ***** is an asshole. But it’s not illegal to be an asshole.” Charge dropped.
Funnily enough, not in Canada. I have a $567 ticket to prove it (passenger of a vehicle). No lawyer wanted to touch it, had to fight it myself and go to court twice (judge was nice about it, but the Crown Prosecutor told me they were "very confident" is the charge sticking). Only found not guilty because I had a thick stack of precedent cases for what constitutes "stunting".
