The cops can't abide anyone who flouts their authority. There are some reasonable arguments for this position, despite it resulting in occasional danger to the general public. From a cop's point of view, it can become difficult to draw the line on where this policy ought to be excepted.

General piece of advice: This may be a nice safe country, but that doesn't mean you should give up situational awareness, even when on a walk. Earbuds are fun but if you can't hear what's around you you're asking to be targeted, by a cop or a criminal or just an accident.
