If a cop is respectful and conducts themselves with a humble mindset, they are more or less trustworthy and worth cooperating with. Otherwise, do not respect any tyrant with a badge. Any cop that comes off as better than you MUST be resisted and put in their place. Yes this may land you in jail. Just goes to show how far our system has fallen. Police cannot arrest you for using your First Amendment against them. Legally they cannot harass you for not cooperating. Cooperation STARTS with the police and ends with us.
Finally, you do not have to say a word to any cop under any circumstance. You have the right to refuse to say anything until your council is present. Obviously your cooperation is your discretion. But ultimately we need to put the SERVE back into PUBLIC SERVANT. And yes... This also goes for our representatives and ALL government officials.
I believe you about the Sheriff being constitutional since it's an elected position... US citizen "has to" follow the law which is expressed as statutes yet is protected (supposedly) by the constitution... Police are supposed to enforce the statutes/laws but I don't know if the oath they swear is to protect/uphold the constitution... I'll have to look into that a little deeper...

Statutes, codes, regulations, ordinances do not apply to the people; they apply to corporations and public servants. The police are not a constitutional entity. They answer to mayors and such. The sheriff, on the other hand, answers to the people who elected him......or is supposed to.
I agree about the sheriff since he is an elected official.... If you read either of the 2 links I posted, you'll see that they state that part of a police officer's oath is to defend the constitution... The other part about statutes, codes, ordinances etc not applying to the people I disagree with... We thee people follow laws that are statutes, codes, ordinances etc... They're just called laws when it comes to us... Maybe I'm incorrect in how I see it but then that's part of the learning process... Cheers Anon... ☕☕☕
Check what a US-citizen/ US-person is. This is the door through which subordination to statutes are rammed through your throat. When you then want to make a constitutional argument, you get thrown out.
Courts are a foreign vessel in dry dock, legalese is their language, and when you are not a bar-member, you are intruding upon a party among ..eh... amice ( friends)
No argument on that very good point... All I was saying is that they swear an oath to protect the constitution and the rights of citizens... I agree that a lot of the police force has been coopted by the left and that the "bar" is a good ol boys club... Cheers Anon... ☕☕☕
