If the rule applies to her, it applies to the officers. Period.

"According to police, Guzman asked the officer, "Why are you being nasty?" and refused to hand him her driver's license."
No argument with your comment but how does it apply in this situation? No mention that cops are parking there with impunity...
I know that many times they do get away with things the rest of us can't and that's wrong, but if being cited, it is a requirement to hand over one's license/registration, etc.
There is a large segment on this forum that believes officers should not be held accountable. They should be able to do and act as they please.
