It is usually brought about by the observer acting in a way that communicates contempt toward that individual. All law enforcement officials are trained to maintain control and have an authoritative aura. Border agents are not there for your amusement or to be brow beaten into submission. Random checks are necessary to prevent bad actors from developing methods that would make their illegal activities easier. It wouldn't take a smuggler long to start using seenior citizens in RVs as mules if they always just got waved thru. As long as there are borders, there will be issues with border crossings.
I have had more than one negative encounter on the canadian side at the Nighthawk crossing in BC, there is a guy working there who really thinks highly of himself. We have been nice, played by the rules, we have been argumentive when needed, I can tell you, the guy can be a real jerk. Every time we've crossed back into BC there, we've had an issue, every time there has been no violations and finally, we've gotten so we'll cross at Osoyoos just to avoid this jerk. Last time we crossed there I asked him politely if he had problems with his neck, he asked why, and I told him his head was beginning to not fit on his shoulders. A dirty look later we were on our way.
