Very true, they are in position of power and never be naive enough to think they won't abuse it if they can get away with it, though generally I think this is unlikely. One other tip, if you're directed to pull over then never sit in the car and wait for them. Always get out of the car and keep your hands where they can see them. I was advised years ago that they don't like it if you just sit there, I have found this to be good advice. Obviously jumping out and shouting and swearing isn't advisable either

This works in UK, but don't go trying the getting out of the car thing in the USA... its absolutely the wrong thing to do there and could end up with you being shot!

yep a mate of mine had a trip to the state a few years back and got pulled for speeding he got out of the car and the next thing he was staring down the barrel of a gun
