In my experience, if the MD cop was a State Trooper; State Troopers in most states tend to be all business and don't act like dicks if you're not acting like one, whereas local municipality police are the ones who have the chance of being total dicks without being given a reason.

This is a valid point. If you act correctly on being stopped, and aren't raising flags to some specialized drug corridor or high crime unit, state police are usually quite businesslike. They're also much more likely to have recording equipment and strict rules about turning it off.
