Cop in a Box

Cop in a Box
and Lawful Excuse.
I’m trying to visualize what takes place when a cop is appointed to the streets.
I’m sure they teach them a bit about the law…..maybe just enough to get him into and out of sticky situations.
Do you think they tell him a two edged sword can often change hands in the blink of an eye?
A cop is given the Highway Traffic Act to uphold and issue tickets which places him into a tight box.
The lawyers for the Crown expand the box a bit with some other acts, statutes and rules which may stand over or under, the Highway Traffic Act.
To what length can one take the cop in defining the statute he is attempting to uphold?
How far can one test the cop’s knowledge of the law on the spot???
To what length can one take the cop in defining the statute that stands above the the one he is attempting to enforce??
What are the accepted boundaries in attempting to define where, one is indeed, bound by the statutes he is attempting to enforce?
Are cops not aware that the Criminal Code of Canada trumps the provincial Highway Traffic Act 100% of the time?
How far is a person legally authorized to enter into negotiations with a cop?
Can a person take it to the limit where, the cop goes ballistic and loses his mind.
Does one need a claim of right in order to proceed on such an adventure?
Is that not lawful excuse?Or, do they have a licence for that?
Would anyone within the entire government know????????
