There are good reasons not to be "afraid" of cops when you have not done anything wrong. I saw people getting pulled over and just continued up to where they were. Granted I was about 8th in line, so I had nowhere to go, but I knew that my car was legal, and knew that I had no reason to worry. I would guess that a good number of the people who turned back could have made it through hassle free.
I have found that assuming that a cop is going to be a dick has never benefited me, so I just assume that they are going to be fair based on what the laws say. (I am certain that others have had different experiences) Not one person got a ticket for anything more than front plate, and whether or not you agree with that law, everyone does know that it IS the law...
Anywho, this drive has only convinced me that living in WA is still better than CA... Except for all the people who complain about the rain...
