Much more than you can possibly imagine.
A couple of things to keep in mind.
Cops, by the very nature of their work, are surrounded by the lowest common denominators of society. All day...every day. That wears on them. Trust me. That little bit of
sincere courtesy will go a long way toward making his day just a tiny bit less like a swim in a sewage treatment plant. That, coupled with a little bit of luck, just might make your day a little less harsh.
As an aside. Do not, I repeat do
not, go overboard with the courtesy. It comes off as condescending, and that pisses us off just as much as outright disrespect.
