sounds like you should have listened to what he said rather than arguing the toss.

Difficult to tell as how you say something often communicates more than the words used.

It could have been construed as rolleyes rather than thumbup

Look he's a police officer.

Some courtesy might have been a good idea, to be honest.

As police officers on this forum was my reply well out of context to his opening sentence
I fail to see how any of our respected resident BiB would be able to answer that. They were not there, did not witness what you alledgedly did or did not do, do not know the [alledged] PC concerned, nor his frame of mind, tone and manner.

Each and every one of them are different, and are no different to you or I. So how they handle a situation like this would differ enormously. There's no 'stock' question and answer.

On a serious note, it's always worth being a bit contrite when approached in such circumstances even though it may gall you. Arguing the toss is unlikely to dissuade the BiB from their course of action and may actually reinforce it.

On a human level and rightly or wrongly it's much harder to give a ticket to someone who is polite and appears decent than someone who is a acting like a chopper. It's quite possible to be assertive whilst being polite, it's very effective and much more difficult to counter.

This is a general point and not in reponse to the OPs circs.
