The law is not written giving you the same amount of rights as an officer, or to make either actions mean the same. The officer can do things you can't in a flip flopped point of view.

Can you start digging around in your pocket just because the officer did? Is it unfair that it 's seen as a possible threat to the officer, but not to you? It seems like ya'll WANT to think you have a defense to prosecution if you pull your gun on an officer , or because you shoot an officer, because you "FELT" threatened by the officers actions. The law clearly defines the use of force you may use against an officer.

And by the same token, there are things that a "civilian" can do, that the officer cannot. There are few things in life that are truly "fair", and sometimes that's as it should be.

You said: "All that comes back is name and address of owner, insurance infomation, and if the vehicle is stolen."

Insurance information being that you have it and it's current or ...?

If that's the case, why do we have to show proof of insurance if the insurance information is in the system?

Thanks!

The insurance database is only about 85% accurate. It has gaps and incorrect information and this admission is from the State of Texas website. But cops are trained to ask so they ask.
