If there is one thing I have learned from dealing with cops, is to always defend yourself (if you're in the right), and always, always, ALWAYS get their badge number. Many times cops only scribble on the tickets so that you can't read anything, so always ask to see their badge and write the numbers down. And when you do that, let LEO know that you plan to complain to their superior.

And always be courteous. How is it going to look when they watch the tape from the police cruiser and you're acting like a prick? If you are courteous and polite, you will have a much better case in court.

And if you get physically harrassed, sue the pants off of them.

And if you go to court, ALWAYS DRESS NICELY.

EDIT: oh yeah, and recognize that if you're in a neon colored car that sounds like a weed eater, you're a huge bulls eye. So always go the speed limit. Your friend is a dumbass for driving like that when he is driving a car that screams, "PULL ME OVER!"
