Maybe I'm just lucky but I have never had an interaction with law enforcement that was confrontational. I generally have tried to as much as possible to make life easy for both of us to the extent that I can. The result generally has worked out hugely in my favor - being told "slow down", "get that registration up to date", and once "good thing you forgot your seatbelt or I'd have to give you a speeding ticket that might have cost you your license" I was wearing my seatbelt but had the sense the keep my mouth shut and sign for the ticket.
That said if I ever get the sense that I'm dealing with a LEO who has a chip on his shoulder or is out to make my life difficult. Then I am going to use all of my rights especially the one to keep silent and have a lawyer present for questioning. I feel pretty comfortable for the most part thats pretty unlikely to happen - but thank God I live in a country with the option.
