How was your experience with the police when you were pulled over?

I don’t know what made me think of this, but almost a year ago my fiancé and I were on out way home from dinner when we were pulled over due to him not wearing his seatbelt. I was pretty upset with him for forgetting such a simple thing. The officer (a woman) came up to our car and was very stern and rude. I’m assuming she had to be. I’m sure it’s tough for some women cops to get the same respect as men. Anyways, I think she took my attitude towards my fiancé the wrong way. She started focusing on me all of a sudden. Now mind you, I did nothing wrong. I had been buckled up and I wasn’t the driver. She asked me for my license. Why would she need that? Is this normal for them to ask for other people’s information who aren’t directly involved in the violation? Needless to say, he receieved a ticket. But thinking of this incident jogged my memory. We’ve been pulled over a few times for little things. And the officers are either overly rude or really nice and respectful. How has your experience been with the police? Tell us about it.
