Uncooperative individual making a cops dangerous job harder. Yes
You know....I understand the base sentiment here, but I have a problem with statements like this.
I worked as a welder/fabricator building rail cars and open water cargo barges in a heavy industrial shop for almost 15 years. There are procedures we must follow in order for our product to meet federal and industry standards for integrity and safety...much the same way there are procedures for LEO's to follow in order to
NOT violate our rights.
'Uncooperative individuals', as you describe them, would be much like a supervisor or QA (quality assurance) inspector checking on a worker to make sure they're not using a 'backing bar' to close an out of tolerance gap, or sweeping a bunch of scrap metal into a butt-weld as 'filler' in order to fill the gap in five passes instead of eight, and finish the job faster.
Is it easier to do that? Oh hell yeah.
Is it 'done right'? Oh, hell no. And it endangers people unnecessarily in both situations.
LEO's who get their knickers in a twist (calling them 'uncooperative') because a citizen knows the limitation of their authority and hold them to it, are like the production worker who blames the QA inspector for getting caught putting out crap work.
