Kid seems to think that HE is the cop, and he is looking to pick a fight. If I tell somebody "you had your brights on" and they tell me "no, I did not" I would at least consider the possibility that I might have been wrong.
It's somewhat annoying to get pulled over. Hell, I got pulled over a couple of nights ago because the cop, driving behind me, thought I did not have a light for my bicycle. Then there's three of them standing around watching me while I try to get my stupid flashlight to turn back on so I can go home from work.
Like that's why we pay taxes, so the cops can keep us safe from bicycles with no light at night.
Still, it is NOT worth fighting over when you can just comply and be on your way in a couple of minutes.
