So you actually got in this guy's car with him? Keep in mind that, at the enforcement level, nobody (police officer, security guard, etc.) has the power to "negotiate" anything ; they must follow procedure, period. They do not judge you, try you or sentence you. They simply arrest you and report your alleged crime, then their job is finished. The negotiating phase begins after the local prosecutor actually charges you with the crime, if it gets that far. Then you, preferably with the assistance of an attorney, can negotiate a plea agreement, diversion program or any other options available in your jurisdiction.
