We were taught to be "civil" to all, "polite" to none. If you start out loud, you have no place to go after that except force. I would always speak softly enough that they had to pay attention to hear me. You can then escalate to volume, before force. If you appear confident enough that you don't have to start out agressive, folks usually realize who is really in charge. Sure, there are times where you know right away that you have a "problem" stop on your hands, but these are few and far between. Additionally, who the heck need civil complaints filed because you came on like gangbusters to some honest dude that was simply driving too fast.
Spade Cooley has it right.
