Hello! Thanks for these videos, very appreciated. I've been watching some 1st amendment auditing videos and I'm curious as to the legality of reasonable suspicion, detainment, and ID requests in our state while driving and as a pedestrian. As far as I can tell, police can detain us but aren't required to tell us under what suspicion - so what questions should we ask the officer to catch them in the act of illegal detention if the footage of the interaction was later brought to court?

[@Andrewflusche]

I don't recommend asking the officer any questions. Anything you say can and will be used against you, so even asking questions can be problematic. The only potential question that makes sense is "Am I free to leave?" If the officer says "yes," leave. If the officer says "no," now he's made it clear that you are being detained, and he will have to justify the detention in court.

Australian here. So, if you get pulled over for not using your turn signal and it turns out that you were blind drunk, you take it to court and are able to prove (say, by dash cam) that no other traffic was affected by you not using your turn signal, they let you off on that and they also have to let you off on the DUI to continue driving blind drunk. Have I got that right?

[@Donkeyearsa]

In texas they can definitely pull you over for not using a turn signal. I was pulled over and convicted of just that. And there was no other traffic around me. It was the last day of the month and the cop was hiding looking for anyone who might brake the law to get his months quota of tickets. Now in texas you can't be ticked over swerving into other lanes on the condition that there is no other traffic that can be affected. If you are ticked for swerving into other lanes the cop has to prove that other traffic was affected in some way.

[@icepicjoey]

Pot being legal still means you cant drive while smoking it. Its the same as alcohol now. You cant drive under the influence. If alcohol is not present you can be checked by a DRE (drug recognition expert) for driving under the infulence. So if your eyes are dialated and bloodshot from overdoing it on weed, then the DRE can call it for driving under the influence. A good guide for weed is, can I do that with an open container of alcohol? If the answer is no, then its the same for Marijuana. Especially in NJ NY PA.

[@jacobkubacki2719]

As a former Military Police Officer, y’all should know that if the cop is using Radar to click your speed, there’s about a 7mph margin for error, especially if the officer is positioned on an incline or decline from where he clocked you. This is why most police won’t stop you unless you’re over 7mph. Small town cops assume you don’t know this & will just pay the fine. Also, the officer also has to do a pre & post functions test with a special tuning fork to make sure the equipment is functioning properly. These are not things to argue at the scene but information you can ask the officer in preparation for court. Ask the officer if they’re using Radar or Lydar(laser, which is way more accurate and harder to beat), don’t ask if they dod the functions test, save that for court & play dumb and ask where the officer was exactly when he clocked you. You can always come back and document this. A good attorney should argue this for you but it’s good information to know.

Once got caught in South Jersey on that swerving within your lane. I had just dropped my brother off to catch the bus in Philly to get to his base in North Carolina. He'd been visiting and my mother was starting a slow death from auto-immune disease. On the way back, at around 1am, I was doing slightly below the speed limit and trying to check if there was a better way to get home. No GPS or anything, so I had the map open beside me, I'd go to the edge of the center line, set it drifting very slowly towarids the side, and then redo it every 20 seconds or so. I'd pull the folded map in front of the steering wheel for those 20 seconds and look at it while also glancing ahead. No traffic on this straight two lane road for miles ahead of me, and there was a car behind me. Didn't think anything about it until he flashed his lights and pulled me over. I was young and ignorant, and explained mostly why I was driving, who I had dropped off, and why I was checking the map. He write me a ticket for not watching the road ahead, I think at the time the charge was careless driving and they could get you for eating a sandwich while driving, it was very hard to beat. Since I had essentially admitted to it, I simply pleaded guilty. So you can be pulled over, and if you talk too much, get ticketed, for swerving in your own lane in New Jersey.

1. Speeding: Well, there is a good reason there is a speed limit. Usually, when driving faster than the limit, you put yourself and, more important, other in unnecessary danger. So, yes, police should of course stop you for speeding. In my country, you will not get stopped for going 1 or two miles faster, because that is within the 5% window of variability of your speedometer and even the equipment the police is using. 2. Plates of a suspended license: Again, that is OK, especially with the caveat that the person must resemble the suspended driver. Fine by me. 3. Smelling Marijuana: That is a bit hard to believe. Even with cannabis being legal, it is (correct me if I am wrong) illegal to drive under the influence of cannabis (depending of how many ng/µl you have in your blood, of course). Isn't it the same with smelling alcohol? You can stop someone, if the car smells like a brewery. This should be OK with other drugs, too. Even when legal. If the police has a reason to believe the driver is consuming or has recently consumed a drug, that can negatively influence his/her ability to drive a vehicle, I HOPE then can check this. That would be on par with other signs of DUI, like swerving. If this cannot be checked, it will end up killing people. Hopefully only the one responsible, but as with alcohol, a lot of innocent bystanders will also be killed. This should be adjusted. Fast. I am all for legalizing cannabis, but you should not drive a car after you consumed it for at least 48h (retention is longer than for alcohol and less linear). 4. Anonymous tip: This should depend on what kind of tip. Driving recklessly or being the wanted murderer...yeah, sure. But I feel there should be a limit depending on the deed done. Is a misdemeanor OK? 5. Headlight out: And here we have another one that I would like to see changed. I know of several collisions (often with motorcycles) that happend, because someone mistook the oncoming traffic for a motorcycle and then hit the car. At least police should be able to pull you over to tell you the headlight is out. And it usually is a quick fix. I have lamps in my car and it takes 5 min to change them. There is a reason why a car needs two headlights and cannot have one bigger one in the middle. It's the same with trucks having light on top, too. So you can see what kind on vehicle with what dimensions is coming towards you. This seems to be one a bad idea. If your car is not fully functional, you should not be allowed to drive it. 6. Turn signal: Same as above. In my country it's even more strict. You have to use it. Period. If you a on a deserted road and nobody is around, you still have to use it when you change lanes or turn. That makes it easier for everybody. Just use it. If you learn to use it every time, it will become a reflex and you never forget it. And it makes it easier for law enforcement and judges. because there are no excuses and no decisions as to if this other car was already near enough to be affected or not etc. it's a simple yes/no. And, please, it's the same with speeding on empty roads, or ignoring traffic lights when alone: Don't do it. Why? 1. Because you might tell yourself, you only do it, because there is nobody around and you would never do it if there are others and cars and whatever. That is a lie. You will not always be thorough and it's a bad habit that will stay with you. You WILL so (and probably have done) it in more dangerous times. And it will kill you. And others. Ask all those idiots that ran over a person while turning. It's always a "I should have..."-situation, but now you killed someone and it could have been avoided simply by using your effing turn signal. It's not that hard. Just follow the rules. There are a lot of stupid laws around (I personally do care about copyright laws...), but when it comes to endangering yourself and others, there is no margin of error. Traffic code is important and it's not that hard to follow. 7. Swerving: I am not the least bit surprised about this. It just makes sense. It does not matter, if you manage to confine your inability to drive to your own lane. You are still displaying signs of DUI or other problems and just because at this moment you might be able to stay in your lane does not mean it will be the same in 2min. Again, there is danger in people that are not able to handle their car or traffic. Keep them off the road before they kill themselves and others.

Andrew, the police will use probable cause no matter what as it seems. Down here in Emporia, Virginia where I'm at on Interstate 95. For example, after nightfall the police will stop you even more around 10:00pm until sunrise. This is common over there at Brunswick County, west of Emporia. Interstate 85 and US 58 highways stay hot with traffic encounter stops often. Basically, you are not allowed to operate a vehicle after 10:00pm you are just asking for trouble around here. Emporia police love to set up their morning time traffic speed traps around 4am until sunrise. Particularly. Andrew, you did good with this video.

So funny 💃🏽

Nice VOLVO turn signal! Hehe ;-)

[@kimberlytaylor5886]

I have a question, except in the case of the officer just being a jerk on a power trip, if you are doing nothing wrong and the vehicle you are driving does not match any APB's, why would they run your plates regardless of the status of your license?

[@terrymofmich]

The more arrests a cop makes the quicker they'll be promoted. Of course that means a bigger paycheck.

[@charlesbailey1038]

Just wanted to say ty for the valuable info you give us. I live in va and the common wealth sucks with it's bs laws compared to most states who aren't common wealth. Va needs major reform and with good info and better understanding of the laws maybe we can actually get things to change. Either that or I'll just have to move lol

[@ctom4932]

I strongly disagree with an anyomous tip. It's a violation of the 6th to attempt a stop without real independent cause if the witness can not be required to testify.

[@fivebooks8498]

If we are are pulled over and the cop doesn't give us a reason He pulled us over, should we ask why we got pulled or just remain completely silent?

is alleging an odor enough on California? We've been legalized for years.

What if the wind is blowing hard etc I know a car will move back and forth

[@tedwojtasik8781]

Andrew, you are so cool I'm contemplating moving to Virginia just so I can hire you when Pac-Man rolls up on me 🙂

Oct-12-2021, thanks.

[@garrettwilson5980]

Random running your plate is needs reasonable suspicion correct

[@gregoryclemen1870]

what if you swerve in your own lane to avoid an "IMMEDIATE ROAD HAZARD" ????

[@HesarealNoWhereMan]

What if you swerve in your lane to avoid a pothole?

[@allegory7638]

Officer, I was swerving to warm up my racing tires...

[@dylanplumley280]

Would it be illegal to get a dash-cam in you car. And use it for when the police pull you over as evidence.

[@L.V.exoticpets]

Turn signals are a petpeve of mine almost got hit by allot og people when skating. Cuz I figured they were going straight where as they turned into me

[@stevedeleon8775]

I feel the NEED..🚔 🚨 the NEED for SPEED..🚖🛑

[@marvinjohnson424]

In my neighborhood they could stay busy, because of dodging all the potholes 😁. What is difference in a swerve and an evasive maneuver?

[@terry_willis]

OK What if you're bar-b-queing in your back seat and smoke is going out the windows?

[@stephensupernor4481]

Hell I live in Texas and nobody really uses their turn signal. At least in Houston.

[@NotMe-st8qc]

Please be that one renegade that uses his then. Be a courteous driver and have a good day.

[@SuperHeatherrussell]

My wife has a suspended license and my old car was in both of our names and I got pulled over about 5 different times because they ran the tag and saw her name associated with it

[@brettcatterall7761]

Police in my old area would just pull you over after midnight. Ask if you're drinking. Hoping you're drunk so they can give you a dui. When you tell them to go pound sand they get mad. Im due for a ticket when i go back to my home town. One cop hates us for calling him an Ahole 20 years ago. He wrote some of my friends up this year for no reason and i know im next.
