That doesn't matter. Just because you'll defeat a false case easy in court doesn't make it okay for police to harrass people. They can bring made-up charges, or slap something vague on you like "disorderly conduct," and say, "If you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about."
Sure, you won't be punished, but it's an easy tactic police can use to "teach people a lesson" and make them afraid to question authority, even if they are on the right side of the law.
