 How would this unfold in your area if the police officer wasn't a buddy of yours. 
 Depends on the policeman you’re facing. 
I’ve had many many respectful encounters that played out in a similar fashion. 
Some were rude and definitely not in the right, but there is no use in debating, it’ll only make things worse for yourself. 
If you’re calm and to a certain degree cooperative they’ll leave you be.
