Some places will charge you with "addressing words to officers". The real problem is a cop can arrest you for anything and call it obstruction of justice. And then either the prosecutor will reject the case or you'll get charged and have to spend $2000+ to plead not guilty. Or pay an attorney $250 to get a plea deal of the lowest possible infraction. There are zero repercussions for a cop falsely arresting you and no one cares about the truth or justice. Just pay to make it go away.
