Would the cop be talking to her politely if he was not recording the incident?

I was stopped by traffic cops many times , and I found them always polite. First thing I heard "¢ÍÍ¹Ø*ÒµÔ¤ÃÑº" something like asking for permission. Then police told me what I did wrong such as I drove in the wrong lane, speed, etc., time for me to be very polite "I am sorry, my mistake I didn't know it's the bus lane, I am from Dtang Jang Wad (other province), I am really sorry".
I've never been asked for my driver license after I apologized the polices, they just warned me to be more careful and let me go . Not only females are treated politely, but males too. Anyway, there are always dark sides that we don't know, I don't believe all polices are always polite and I hope NOT to meet any of those impolite ones or the ones with bad mood.

Yes my experiences with the Thai traffic police were they basically speak with a polite tone.

However, those looking for a bit of "sidelines" normally take their time to look up for some fault.

My worst experience is when I was driving my new car which was still wearing the red license plate. I remember it was a Sunday afternoon around 4pm and I was going through the toll at Ngam Wong Wan and a policeman stopped me and told me I'm not allowed to drive this car and gave me a ticket on the spot. And then directed me to the toll office to pay the fine immediately. I tried to argue that its not even 7pm yet (which you're allowed to drive untill for red license plate cars) but he won't listen and just kept pointing to the office by the toll. Lots of cars were stopped and many people were paying fines. My fine ticket read "driving with fake license plate.". I had to pay 400 baht. They must be VERY desperate to hit their target for that month or something.

I'm sure if I have those gold crest symbol thing from the police/army/navy/airforce or whatever those big shots have in the front of their cars, thosse policeman won't even dare to stop me.
