I also suggest doing this if you really want a ticket for some reason.
Nightwing is right, call if you don't believe it. This thread is getting a little repetitive with the "Can the MP really stop you at any time?" questions. Like in court....asked and answered.
I suggest being polite and cooperative the entire time even if you disagree and even if you get a ticket. Calling a supervisor for any questions is done AFTER the stop, not during. Then again....what do I know?

The only thing I have to say about that is that I understand from reading past posts that you're in law enforcement.
It's a pretty sad indictment against your own profession to suggest that every officer that stops you is petty and vendictive enough to punish someone for politely going to a more knowledgeable superior officer for a ruling. If that is the norm then something is very very wrong with the hiring practices of that community/agency.
