Police are empowered by the government to enforce the law. Therefor they can tell you what to do within those legal constraints. You as a citizen have every right (indeed, some would say responsibility) to give orders to someone you see breaking the law.
The difference, actually the only difference, between you and him (or her), is that the officer has the training and the mandate to back his order up with force if need be.
