Sorry for your bad experience, OP.
If you wouldn't mind answering as an officer of the law, what should a person say in that situation? And does it really make any difference in how you assess the situation?

And east coast and west coast...
Pretty much everyone in the midwest.
no self respecting person east of the mississippi is going to speak in that gobbeltygook.
Neither will any automotive headlamp bulb manufacturer...
yea i read this thread this morning and was trying to do it on my drive to work. id fail sober
TBH i might have an easier time doing it when drunk
There's no song for backwards. I guess you could make one up though.
I had a similar situation.
I was going home from a holiday poker game after work and got pulled over for speeding (limit drops from 40 to 25 in about 3 blocks), I think I was 7mph over. Someone had brought some wine so I had about 1/2 a glass because no one else was drinking it and I felt bad. That's all I had as I'm not a big drinker. I was truthful and admitted to the officer that I had a little wine. He asked me to step out of the vehicle and I forgot my hat and gloves in the car. It was about 3 degrees out. He refused to let me get my hat and gloves and then yelled at me if I tried to put my hands in my pockets. It was so cold I was shivering.
He called in for backup, made me hop on one leg and do the alphabet multiple times from D to P and other stuff. He yelled at me several times saying I was singing the alphabet! I was like WTF? How am I singing the alphabet?
I also have a bad back and foot issues and could only stand on one leg for 25 out of 30 seconds the two times he made me try. So that convinced him I must be drunk and he yelled at me some more. Eventually he just gave me a ticket for speeding after running through a 2nd and 3rd iteration of some tests, but it was still the most terrifying 15 minutes in my life. It seemed like an eternity!
Sorry for your bad experience, OP. :\
Assuming we are talking about Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, you could not be more wrong.
Every police officer I've dealt with has been courteous and respectful, and I made sure to behave the same way towards them.
