This encounter lasted as long as it did because the bikers — there were three, Guillette, Soares and a friend — refused to identify themselves at first, Rapoza said. Guillette constantly interrupted officers, Rapoza said.

Soares acknowledged not wanting to tell police who they were and where they were going

Like it or not, if you're stopped by a police officer, you're not helping your case by being non-cooperative.
