Are they intentionally looking for trouble? I don't know. He let us go after we showed him everything we had.
Sorry for going OT, but my guess, and it's only that, is that the cop was fishing for a bribe and perhaps figured that if you figured you were doing something wrong under local law (not that you actually were doing so) he'd be able to secure one from you.
