The simple fact is that one must comply with the verbal commands of an officer...even if the command is as simple as shut up...or one is in violation of the law. The officer does not have to initially go into any explanation of why he is commanding you or what the consequences may be if you do not comply. If you are told to shut up and you do not...you are in violation. If at a later point the officer is deemed to be in violation of law or regulations then one has a cause of action.
