I think that tactic is fine. It seems to me when these incidents escalate it is because the person stopped isn't cooperative. Like it or not that raises suspicion with the officer, as it should IMO.
Not I am not saying the victim is to blame in these situations, the police likely have some culpability as well and there is plenty of blame to go around, but if you have noting to hide no reason not to cooperate.
