Why on earth would one call a police officer a tart? Reminds me of a mistake many youth / Maori make: when stopped for a routine check they get aggressive and uncooperative and then complain they're being unfairly profiled. Be unfailingly polite and cooperative with all police, and in fact, with everyone, including shop assistants, officials etc and life will go smoothly for all.
If ever you get pulled over, or interact with police, video the whole event. This is why police should have video cams, it protects the innocent party.
Lawyers need to get a copy of that video footage, body and dashcam from the police a.s.a.p.
Unfortunately, New Zealand police still don't have body cams.

I agree, mouthing off to a cop always makes things worse. Sometimes it’s just easier to say nothing at all.
