Depends on the situation...
Sometimes you use the Madagascar Penguin' defense, "Smile and wave boys, smile and wave."
Sometimes you use the Wookie defense, "Let the wookie win."
...
Sometimes you tell him to go pound sand, accept the arrest and then take him or his department to court and make them pay.
Asking for another, senior officer is a crap-shoot. 1) There's no guarantee that the other officer knows the law any better than the first, and 2) there's no reason for the officer not to lie if it's to his advantage, his partner's advantage, or the departments.
... But I like the wookie defence.

Give him ONE chance to hear what the REAL law is.
If he's too dumb or malicious to accept that, don't waste your time on a moron or a jackass.
Invoke your right to remain silent.
Pursue all of your remedies, administrative, legal and POLITICAL. If there's embarrassing video release it. Make that cop an internet superstar like FORMER Officer Daniel Harless of the Canton PD.

Which brings up a question. If a "Daniel Harless" type officer starts using the type of language we have seen in his videos, what would happen if you called him a m-----f----- and a whole bunch of similar vile names? After all, he did it so why can't you?
While this may seem to be a loaded question, there is a reason to ask it.

One thing not mentioned yet is the cop who knows the law but is telling you that you are breaking the law as a way of intimidating you into compliance. .

1) because then you're no better than him
2) you're escalating the situation
3) it frustrates/confuses the bad ones more if you stay calm
4) it impairs communication
5) when the video or audio is published, you look better if you don't

I save that language for the courtroom (and the holding cell near the courtroom).
+1I have found not resorting to their level (and I am normally a fairly foul mouthed person) and keeping my calm and not using that language, seems to make them even more frustrated.
