Evidently being friendly and helpful to an officer of the law is a much better way to avoid a ticket than what I attempted the last time I was pulled over, sarcastic questioning. Asking an officer "Who posed a bigger public safety risk, me not wearing a seat belt, or you flipping a U turn on a busy 4 lane road." results in a ticket and a long lecture.

How it got there I look forward to hearing tomorrow. Using satellite imagery I can see that the ice chest contained a dead raccoon. How it got there I look forward to hearing tomorrow.
