Sometimes our other rights make a cop's job harder too. I agree that it's not helpful to test a cop performing his/her duty. I would never do so intentionally. But I recognize the right to practice your rights for whatever you want (impress your friends, expose an injustice or a common illegal practice, etc.). Irritating cops this way isn't smart, but it's not breaking the law. If you are bent on testing a cops resolve, legally, you better be recording it.
