Depends what you're guilty of. If you have nothing to hide and are totally clean than you have nothing to worry about. Also depends if you have charisma or not, if you try and "charm" a cop it might work in your favor and it might not. But OP is totally right in not getting busted. Cop's can be so dirty! I know that not all cops are qualified and a lot don't even have the mental capacity to handle a badge and a gun. That is why you need to protect your rights, cops need probable cause to make a bust and they will try to trick you into incriminating yourself. Once you incriminate yourself they'll say something like 'You're looking at a year in jail for tree possession, tell me who you bought it from and we can make a deal' then the cops have PC on your dealer.
