I was 100% onboard with your discussion ... until you said the police officer probably knows your rights better than you do ... I'm 73 years old, white, upper middle class (zero criminal record) and like to think I'm about as nice a guy as you will find, but I'm convinced that the present day police officer doesn't know nearly enough about our rights. While my interaction with the police has been minimal ... one traffic ticket in the last 30 years (about 6 years ago) and one home invasion theft, (about 8 months ago) in both cases the officers were dismissive and rude. In fact, the one on the home invasion told me I was wrong when i informed him the thief was using a stolen credit card at a Walmart 30 miles away, saying it couldn't be, since they were still at the scene at my home. He was in the process of telling my wife to go search our home for where she may have left her stolen purse. I explained to him that it took them 30 minutes to arrive at the scene and they had been there another 30 minutes and he got very huffy. So I let him speak with the bank card representative that I had called to report the stolen card, who told me the card was being used right then, and where it was being used. Even then he refused to call the next jurisdiction to ask them to go to the Walmart, saying he would report the use of the card to his detective. I hate to think what would have happened in either case if I were not a senior citizen and white. We need much better training of our police officers. I understand they often deal with the dregs of society, and I understand they can be exposed to dangerous situations, but they MUST do better with their communications with the public. I would have preferred that you explain that the officer will LIKELY be rude and demanding, and you should still comply while gathering the evidence to support yourself in court, if necessary. While you did speak to your day in court, I think you should prepare people for very aggressive law enforcement. People need to be aware of what they will likely be subjected to, when coming into contact with the police we have to deal with today. I carry always, and I'm absolutely sure I'd have been in cuffs if they knew. Luckily, I live in a State that doesn't require me to inform, and I'm properly permitted. By the way, I really enjoy your channel, and never miss one of your uploads. This is the first time I've disagreed, and only then with this one small part of your video. I also agree with the commenter who said it is important to video or dashcam your interaction with any police. Finally, never enter into any discussion with the officer, remember EVERYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU! Other than my diatribe, (sorry), I truly appreciate Law Enforcement, it is a thankless job, that some do very well. And I thank those that do the job properly for their service.

[codyway]

One important thing that you left out was to run a dashcam or other means to record the interaction. If you do dispute the infraction, unless you have video evidence, the court will take the cops word over yours every time.

[TexasScout]

Do you know it’s interesting, when I first started driving in 1970, it was a courtesy when you got pulled over to get out and stand beside your car now they’ll draw down on you if you try and do something like that

[Riflemanofwar]

This man literally spent 7 minutes describing a hostage situation.

[glocknines]

contrary to what you just said, and even though i agree with the majority of what you have said on this channel. The statement you made regarding officers know your rights better than you could not be further from the truth. The majority DO NOT and constantly violate peoples constitutional rights all the time. Usually superiors have to put their cops in check but sadly most think they can just do what they want and that your rights dont exist.

[georgegeller]

Cop: Do you know why I'm pulling you over?
Me: Because you failed the test to become a firefighter.

I was recently pulled over for speeding while carrying. At that moment it was required for me to inform the officer of my ccw and firearm. I did that as soon as he introduced himself. He asked where it was and I answered. When he asked for my license I told him, it's in my purse down on the floor. He told me to get it so I did. Before he asked the "know why I pulled you over" question, I told him I was speeding. He looked surprised. We talked about the constitutional carry that was going into effect in 5 days. He gave me a verbal warning instead of a ticket. Pleasant exchange. Did everything you mentioned here

[cratedog]

I've noticed that veteran officers are more likely to be more cordial with you.
Rookies are almost ALWAYS filled with attitude and superiority complexes because they believe they have power over you. They're also more likely to try to bait you into a trap to justify an arrest.

[Nothingtoya]

Just 1 thing, from the thousands of videos online, it's unlikely the cop knows your rights better than you do.

[olysean]

I have been reprimanded for not having my papers ready before he got to the window. I have been reprimanded for not immediately pulling over on an icy 2 lane bridge with no shoulder. Trying to keep LE safe while they're policing for profit just angers them further.

[wandrinyew]

I've gotten by pretty well with these two maxims: 1) Every Ford Explorer is a cop. 2) Every car you meet while driving at night, is a cop. I do not live in a concealed carry friendly state, but my dad was former military police. I get the drill.

[lawrencegenereux]

I had a recent stop by a police officer due to an expired inspection sticker. He was very professional and a really decent guy. He gave me a "get it fixed" document which cost me nothing but the money to get the car inspected.

We have had the opportunity to talk since then. In addition to being a really good police officer, he is an officer in the Army Reserve. He is willing to put his life on the line in two occupations, both for the safety of civilians.

I am proud to call this man a friend. A good cop, a good soldier, and a good man. We need more people like him in our country.

[gohmchin]

Too much bootlicking and double standards.

[jeffreyhowll]

Here in Arizona they will neither identify themselves or tell you why you have been stopped. Asking any questions at all will find you removed from the vehicle and placed in handcuffs - "for officer safety"...

[deadmonkeys]

the last time I got pulled over (ages ago), the cop was irritated I didn't have my registration and insurance ready for him when he got to my truck window. Now I keep all my documents in the ashtray on my dash for easy and quick retrieval.

[MrGert]

Police officers knowing rights? I don’t know about that…

[drengillespie]

These people are not your friend. You fight them in court. You can’t talk yourself out of a ticket. You can talk yourself into handcuffs.

At 59, I barely heard advice at all like this in the last couple of years. All drivers need this information. On my hog, I startled a CHP when I reached into my vest for my registration and insurance. In college, a buddy got pulled over, grabbed his registration from the glove vox and jumped out to give it to the officer. I closed my eyes waiting for the shooting that didn't happen. Thank you for the detailed advice and explanation.

[thomaspavelko]

It's a real damn shame that we have to act like like that when you get pulled over for something as simple as a traffic ticket anymore.
I remember back in the days when the police officers first reaction was not to kill somebody

[lebullee]

Another recommendation is that if you can obtain a dash cam you absolutely should one not only for police interactions but also for potential insurance purposes if you're ever in an accident and the other driver or even your own insurance company tries find ways to consider you at fault in order to not pay out your claim
