Well you look "different". Expect to be noticed. I think you handled it well, more or less. Being courteous to officers of the law is always a good idea. It can make a tremendous difference in the way you are treated.

Having been on both sides of the badge, I do try to cooperate and smile, whilst sticking to my rights and smiling, all at the same time.

Most law enforcement jobs are sheer boredom a large percentage of the time.
