Getting into a match of wills with individual agents of the law is not the way to beat laws you disagree with, or overcome overreaches of the law. All it does is let everyone around know that you've got a chip on your shoulder and are trying to prove something in petty fashion. Far better to extend the olive branch of politeness and respect, while refusing to give in to overreaches.
