It's called disrespecting an officer. It's been on the books for as long as I've been alive. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Police, moreso than joe average, needs to EARN the respect of the population. If they don't have it, it's THEIR problem, not the population's.

They're already mostly not held accountable for their thuggish behavior, but this is absolute totalitarian police state. It might be an old rule, but it's anticonstitutional.
