Is it some kind of technique or do they want to make it personal?

You act as if ALL police officers do this. Such a blanket statement is as fair as saying all non-police are criminals. That is simply not the case.
As far as the answer that suggests you not give your name, that is an arrestable offense in many states. As a police officer myself, I respect the right of a person to remain silent, and want you to do so if you choose, but if you fail to identify yourself, you may find yourself detained until an ID can be made.

In some cases where someone is placed under arrest, it is easier to get the person to run their mouth and admit even more guilt, therefore making the policeman's case more of a slam dunk and therefore not requiring them to appear in court and wasting a vacation day or maybe even a day off. Of course the way around this is to not get arrested but contrary to what the other people that have answered that obviously all have halos have said....sometimes people can make mistakes over something that is not intentional or harmful to others.

First, the "running of the mouth" is them reading you your Miranda rights, stating that you have the right to remain silent and the law can and does use your words against you in court (they have the right to do so.) In those rights, they also remind you that you may have a lawyer present in your case, and if you don't have the monetary funding, one will be appointed for you, then they'll ask if you understand these rights. If they continue, it's usually them letting you know why you're being carried off to jail, that you wouldn't be in this situation if only you obeyed the law, etc. My advice in this is to speak only when spoken to.
You need to watch these cop shows more.

It is a technique. The BEST thing to do is say absolutely nothing...not even your name....just be silent . A friend of mine who is no longer living due to an unrelated incident went to jail an bonded out and when we went to court the judge read aloud from the police report "suspect fell repeatedly into the file cabinet", but my friend Joe had a smart mouth on him. The charges were dropped but he still got his @$s kicked. just don't speak at all when you go to jail. They have your prints or ur ID so there's nothing more to be said. Talk in court, to your attorney...but not if he is appointed.

Same reason the criminal was running their mouth 3 seconds before the cuffs went on.

I don't know. Why do most thugs want to run their mouth to the police when they are around their buddies, but start crying like a 2 year old when you get them alone?

Probably because you are running your mouth even when they cuff you and they are getting tired of it.
Stop commiting crimes and stop having diarrhea of the mouth and you'll find yourself in better circumstances.

If you really want to pi$$ off police when they are running their mouths at you, say nothing! Don't answer questions, don't talk back, nothing, really drives them crazy!

It's called advising you of your rights.
Just pay the fine and move on.
Quit being such a hater.

It's a technique. They want you to screw yourself.
