I always carry religious pamphlets in my vehicle (you know, the ones that ask if you’ve been saved, and so on). If you are stopped by the police, when you have an opportunity to say anything, pull out one of those pamphlets and ask the officer if he has been saved? Most of the time they will do anything possible to make the interaction with you as brief as they can, almost like demons running away from someone who is holding “holy water”😂

The biggest threat to the public is a cop with a bruised ego…

Never never talk to the cops. No defense attorney ever said "thank goodness my client talked to the police without me. That made my job so much easier." LWYRUP.

Cop: "I smell the odor of burnt marijuana" Me: "I noticed that also when you walked up. Have you been smoking weed?"

I let cops search my car *once*. they ripped up my brand new car, panels, etc. my lunch and gym bag - strewn all over the car, left it open and my papers went everywhere. The answer is always no now.

1: license
2: registration
3: proof of insurance
4: "Officer am I being detained, or am I free to leave?"
If detained:
"Officer I invoke my fifth amendment right to remain silent and I do not consent to a search of my vehicle".

If he says free to leave:
DRIVE
Simple, concise and to the point.

I had a brother in law who was a police officer. If you think that taking someones car apart and leaving that person with the mess as they drive away is not funny to police, you are wrong. I heard him tell me how funny they find it and they laugh as they drive away. Protecting ourselves from that behavior is what this is about.

Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: No, I thought you knew.

Years ago this would be what a career criminal followed to be able to slip through the loopholes and keep doing crime. Now innocent people have to follow this to deal with corrupt law enforcement.

Give a cop the ability to search your car, you are giving them a pass to plant false evidence against you.

[glenbateman]

Whenever I am approached by a "law enforcement" officer, my response is always the same...
"Officer, I realize you are only doing your job (a lie, but it doesn't hurt to throw them that bone) but I don't answer questions without an attorney present, I do not consent to any searches, and at the end of this sentence I am invoking my right to remain silent."
Then I STOP TALKING. ENTIRELY.
Does this p*ss them off?
Almost always. An Ego is a very tender thing.
That said, it has never gone wrong.
The trick is to actually remain silent after that last sentence.
I know a lot of people have a real problem doing that, but I can't stress enough how essential that component is to making the whole thing work.

I caught a cop, red-handed, pulling a pipe out of his pocket, trying to hide it underneath the seat. When I called him out on it, he slipped it back in his pocket and stop searching my car.

Cop: "Do you know why I stopped you?"

Motorist: Thank you for admitting that you have no lawful reason to detain me.

Is anyone else terrified that the police can completely destroy your vehicle in the hopes of finding some sort of contraband and then just leave you screwed when they don't find anything???

I once saw a video on here about a traffic stop of some kid. It was obvious from the kids behaviour that it was the first time he’d been pulled over and that he did indeed have some wacky baccy for personnel use!
Kid was tearful and crying about how his dad was going to be so disappointed in him etc etc etc.
The cop then asked him to show him how much weed he had, it was such a tiny amount the cop just rolled his eyes, told him to dump it on the floor on the road then said the coolest thing ever……
‘I’m going to cite you for littering, you going to accept this citation?”
Kid almost teared up again!!!
‘Yes sir, sorry sir, never again sir!!!”
THAT is how community policing is done!

[mjl]

one of my favorite saying is if you're guilty, you need a good lawyer. If you're innocent, You need a really good lawyer!!!

[Hethalean]

I think it's absolutely banana town antics that cops can lie to you about anything, and you can't lie to a cop about anything.

Story time of why you should listen to this. I was a very straight laced college kid, I knew nothing about drugs or anything and never even had a alcoholic beverage. On thanksgiving day I get in my car and notice I have a low tire on one side. There was a gas station close by so I put on my flashers and drive slow there, and a cop sees me, flips around and follows me into the parking lot of the gas station. They come up to me and offer their "help" and notice my registration was a month expired. This then turns into a traffic stop and because I had forgotten my wallet (it was a holiday and I was just on the way to play football down the street) I didn't have my license and insurance on me.

They then ask me if there are any weapons or drugs in the car and say is it ok to search it. They framed it as a silly request saying something like make sure there are no bazookas in there and we just need to do this for our numbers so help us out. Being young and naive I said yes, after all I didn't do drugs, I didn't even own a gun so nothing to worry about.... They quickly found a mostly empty bottle of prescription cough syrup my friend had accidentally left in the car when I had given her a ride. Next thing you know I am in handcuffs in the back of the cop car being read my rights. They completely tore my car apart damaging it and pulling apart seats etc for several hours. I only avoided getting charged because my friend was able to confirm my story that she had left it in my car by accident, but I still ended up with 3 tickets and a destroyed car, and I can close to getting a life ruining charge for drugs that would have landed me in prison.

Follow this guys advice and NEVER TALK TO THE POLICE!

Officer..."Do you know why I pulled you over"?

Driver..."Not really sure, I assumed you would know".😂

[happygolucky]

Cop: Your eyes look red. Have you been drinking?
Me: Officer, your eyes look glazed. Have you been eating donuts?
