Why wasn't it smart (besides actually talking to the cop)? I was not guilty of anything but making a joke in bad taste (and maybe doing 59 in a 55). It was an inconvenience to be detained for an hour, but it wasn't a hot day, I didn't have any obligations...

no your best option is not to say a GD thing. story time: i was once pulled over on the eastern shore by a cop that was barely my age. i didn't say a word to him for the 10 minute stop. that really messed with his mental state and I could tell his internal hard drive was returning a seek error. at the end he stammered out "o-okay, w-well you slow down and haveaniceday" then he quick walked back to his car and turned down a side road.

NEVER TALK TO COPS.
