Dirt road Kid

So I got pulled over, And I figured it was for my exhaust or my taillights or someone on my car as there is a lot of illegal things done to my car, but no, someone called in my car to the police because I guess the way I was driving was suspicious, whatever. But when the officer pulled me over, he asked my where I was headed and where I went, I told him I was going home and told him my address, then I told him I was just cruising around because I was bored, he told me that someone called me in because I was driving through a neighbor hood that's been having a lot of break ins and I seemed suspicious, I respected that, and the officer asked if I had any drugs or alcohol and I told him I didn't and I can't get in trouble so I wouldn't and he asked why so I showed him my military ID, and we were both respectful adults in the situation, he asked if he could peep in my trunk to see if I had anything illegal so I said no problem and got out and opened my trunk and he said sweet thank you, he then asked me about some of the mods I had done to my car and was checking out my car, then we started talking about the military, and we stood on the side of the road for a solid 10 minutes talking about the Army. My point here is that as long as you show respect for an officer, they will also respect you, and you won't get thrown to the ground and arrested for something so simple, if you just show respect towards the officer.
