Quite underrated comment here. I had someone forget something in my car (cuz I used to give rides to friends etc). I made the mistake of voluntarily letting him search my vehicle; tho I had precept it with "I've given rides to ppl these weeks and haven't cleaned my car out lately." needless to say, I didn't get arrested etc

Don't make their job any easier, especially since you most definitely won't be getting a slice of their paycheck and in the end all you're likely to get is f**ked without so much as dinner and movie first.

I the son, nephew and a brother to cops...believe me, most of the time, it's people doing their job and arresting themselves or giving them the PC they need.

An important part of exercising your right to remain silent is verbalizing that you are, in fact, exercising your right to remain silent.

[@TerryProthero]

No. The most important part is shutting your mouth and not speaking. What you said can help you legally, but it's not as critical. Some people say they are going to exercise their right to remain silent and then keep talking. They would be far better off to not say anything at all than to do that. If you fail to say you are exercising your right, the fact that you are silent might be used to imply guilt. But the things you say because you weren't silent are far more damaging to your case.

They are simply trained a certain way and they are not verse in the law, simply how to enforce it. In my experience most cops will just give you a ticket and and move on with their lives. Keep in mind unless you were actually drunk driving, which you should not do and doing so is a danger to yourself and others the police are doing a good service to the community by making sure the streets are safe from drunk drivers. That being said you should still exercise your rights, specially if you are innocent because all it takes is one misunderstanding or a bad apple to turn your life into hell if you open your mouth. Be respectful to the officer but let them know you will not say anything other than providing Drivers License and Car Registration. Respect goes a long way in dealing with the police.

Then the cop proceeded to berate and insult me, because he didn’t want to have to drive me the 15 minutes to jail, as his shift was almost over, so he decided to do 90-100mph through residential areas, and weave in and out of traffic on the highway, as I sat in the back with handcuffs on, furiously contemplating the irony of being driven recklessly to jail after being arrested for careless driving/DUI. And I’ve hated cops ever since. They don’t care one bit about your safety or freedom and are a much bigger danger to our public.

[@easycharlie6739]

Exactly 'O' So

[@matthewbittenbender9191]

Some of this is helpful especially in regards to Virginia. I live in Pennsylvania and they operate much the same way. However, Virginia is way more punitive with speeding offenses than almost any state I've ever been in and I have had a lot of speeding stops. For instance, I was doing 81 mph in a 60 zone and the trooper wrote me up for a misdemeanor which is punishable by up to $5,000 fine and 30 days in jail. In addition they want you to go to the county and take a driver's class for a week which costs $750, +/-$100. And if you live a distance away you will have to likely get a hotel, but they don't care. And if you're from out of state they will go at you harder, but will petition your home state to revoke your license if you choose not to respond. Many states do that these days as well. The cop pulls you over for DUI, drunk or sober, you're pretty well boned. In PA, you certainly can refuse a field sobriety test, but you will have to take a ride to the hospital for a intravenous blood test. Well you still have the right to refuse that, the officers then record that and, as per the statute of the state, send that refusal to PennDOT who will revoke your license 100% of the time. What are you going to feel it they uphold 99.99% of those cases, regardless as to whether your sobriety was proven or the stop was under false/erroneous pretenses. This is of course I'm constitutional, but police, prosecutor, and DOT do not care. And this is probably where Pennsylvania exceeds Virginia in Draconian traffic laws. I disagree that cops don't have quotas. While it is not like a sales quota they still have to follow job performance metrics which includes issuing a certain number of tickets per month based on what the precinct says is average per officer. This is why, if you have ever noticed, they always appear to be more active in week 3 or 4 of the month. This was told to me in confidence by a retired State trooper who is a friend of mine. So yeah, they have "quotas" it's the system rather than the officer that drives them.

But as so one wisely said it’s that there are too many descendants of the jail guards , that’s the problem. And as we have seen doing the lockdown, too many LEOS forget their oaths to support and uphold the Comstitution. Some do tho….The sherif of Knox County TN refused to enforce any mask mandate. He said it was a mandate not a law and was Un Constitutional. He said he would uphold any law that was legally and lawfully passed but not mandates. It makes me wonder, in a SHTF situation, how many LEOS will side with the Constitition and We the People and how many will side with and obey the tyrants. I have the same question about the military. I rather think more military are aware of their oaths to uphold the Constitution, and to protect and defend the United States against all enemies , foreign and domestic.

And I think that him being what he is, that there will be more acts of tyranny….but I’m talking about the big one, the “ shot heard round the world” kind of act …and I’m watching and waiting to see what We the People will do. Well, the patriotic, Constitution supporting, freedom and liberty loving part of We the People…..It’s easy to talk and to be a keyboard warrior, bit when the shit gets real, well, that’s a different story .Some can talk the talk and that’s all, others can walk the walk…….actions speak louder than words. And I believe it’s gonna take action to get things fixed. God bless, keep,the faith and keep your powder dry, my friend!

These videos are invaluable . More people should watch as many as possible. Over the years I've made it a point to educate myself and keep myself from falling for thier tricks ,but it hasn't always been that way. It doesn't matter if you're not a criminal and have nothing to hide. Convictions and conviction rates are all that matters to them.

I love this channel! I was on my way to get the exhaust, 6 new tires, and a NYS Inspection on an antique project truck my step son and I had been working on way back in the 90's. I was driving and got pulled over. The police officer asked if I knew why I was being pulled over. I knew I wasn't speeding, as the truck couldn't go that fast, and when this truck was made shoulder belts we an option, one this truck did not have. I said, "I'm not sure why you pulled me over. Was it the 6 bald and dry rotted tires, the loud exhaust, 2 hillbillies in an antique truck with no exhaust system barreling down the road at about 10mph BELOW the speed limit, or we didn't have seat belts on, but this has no shoulder straps? The cop looked at me and had nothing to say. He asked where we were going and I told him the tire shop in town and then the exhaust shop with a bender down the road from the tire shop for an exhaust system and inspection. He then let me and my stepson go as he laughed saying I pretty much covered it all. He did check, but did not run, my license, and it is a class A with XTP endorsements and no restrictions. We had the work and tires done on the old truck, and it was a much quieter ride back home, and we passed him in his regular hiding spot, all inspected, quiet, and 100% legal. My stepson was driving home, he was trying to speed, but to no avail. I know I should not have said anything, but we had appointments at the shops, I have the class A, and NY has a temporary inspection sticker for new purchases and new registrations. All these years later my stepson and I laugh about this incident and the goofy look the cop had.

[@Heather-xm9ul]

There's no such thing as being questioned about someone else's crime, even if you're a witness. They are always looking to connect you to the offense, and get another arrest.

[@Epsilonsama]

Before anything, what I'm about to say is NOT legal advice or counsel, please speak to a licensed attorney and follow their advice, anyhow! If a cop stops you first be respectful and keep your arms in the wheel. If they just tell you you being stop let say for speeding and going over x amount of miles over the limit, I need name DOB, license and registration give them that. If they ask an open ended question like do you know why you were being pulled over, a simple no should suffice. If they are fishing and they ask you, sir were did you came from that's when you pull your 5th amendment rights by stating. Sir I respectfully decline to answer your question or I'm invoking my 5th Amendment rights and decline to answer your question. If they want to check your car you can invoke the 4th by stating I am invoking my 4th amendment right and do not consent to any searches or seizures, do keep in mind Cops don't need a warrant to search your car just reasonable doubt which can get pretty screwy but a good rule of thumb is too not give the cop any chance to look inside your car by having your windows up and only opening it up a bit to give your license and registration. If after that they still want to inspect your car, cooperate but let them know that you are not giving them consent to do so. Do not answer any other questions they ask but be respectful and professional. After they search your car and obviously find nothing incriminating or even if they do your next questions is going to be, officer I'm I free to leave? If the cop doesn't want to arrest you by this point he will give you your id and registration and give you the ticket, which is a court citation btw and move on with your life, if they don't let you go you will be arrested. Being arrested is not the end of the world btw, just keep your mouth shut and lawyer up.

[@Epsilonsama]

Also if you are in the state of Maryland like I am, you can refuse field sobriety tests btw so dont be a dope and get trapped by a cop.

[@edwardmiessner6502]

No you should never say no for his question "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Just say, "Because I'm [skin color], sir?" Or better yet, just say "Sir, I respectfully decline to answer questions."

[@david2869]

And if they bring in the K9 unit to do a sniff around your car, you're screwed. After they get a positive reaction (they will ALWAYS get a positive reaction from a K9 since the dog is willing to follow the officer's commands and will want to please them), then they can search your car.

[@dickalmighty9656]

In the jurisdiction I live in, the Police department solely deals with fix-it tickets. The kind where you get a fine but fix it before the 10 days and go to a police station, where the civilian desk clerk makes sure that you light or what ever is now working. They then dismiss the ticket.

[@leef_me8112]

Don't take this wrong, but I doubt that "jurisdiction" exists on Earth.

I have seen this ticket, (was with the friend who was driving when they got pulled over, went with her to the CHP station later); this was... three or four years ago (in Los Angeles). So, might not be a geographic jurisdiction, but was a CHP stop (not LASD or LAPD).

Last time I got a traffic ticket in LA (red light or speeding??), I pled not guilty intending to fight it! I went to the judge’s courtroom a few times before my court date to observe how things went down, possible winning arguments, etc. Biggest thing I noticed was that the few attorneys who were there got to go ahead of everyone else. Nearly ALL of the attorney’s tickets got dismissed, or at least reduced! I hit up one of those lawyers in the hallway and she took $100 to fight my ticket the next week with her stack, and got it dismissed, which I couldn’t have done!!🙏😎

Each time I visit my neurologist, she gives me what is called an "Evoked Potentials Test". It is essentially the same as a Field Sobriety Test. I have Multiple Sclerosis and cannot pass an Evoked Potentials Test, so if stopped, I always refuse the field test and that automatically triggers the blood draw - which is what I was wanting in the first place.

SCOTUS has ruled that the simple act of remaining silent during police questioning is not sufficient. You must pronounce.

[@enderfal]

SALINAS v. TEXAS I assume you are referring to. Strictly speaking per the holding if you don't answer any question, then remaining silent is fine. However if you respond to any question, even a "Hey how ya doing?" You must invoke the 5th afterwards to be protected by it.

[@blueliesmatter2]

@@enderfal so when cops say "can I help you" if you say they can't your giving up your rights? They always say it's just a consentual question. My reply is always how can I help you. Then they make it clear they are trying to gather info to use against you.

[@enderfal]

@@blueliesmatter2 per the case cited yes. Responding back with a question is a grey area that has not been decided yet. I would lean towards asking questions is engaging with the cops and opening yourself to issues. About the only question I could see being safe is asking about ones legal status. Ie am I free to go?

I didn't say anything. 30 plus seconds later he asked me for my lisence and proof of Ins. He wrote me a ticket. I pleaded not guilty. In court the judge asked the officer the details of the incident. "Listen carefully to what the officer says!!! "I stated to the judge, he pulled me over on this street, I never made a right turn. Case dismissed!

I was recently told by an officer here in Virginia that all officers from his department were required 2 tickets minimum a day. He told me he likes to choose out of state drivers due to the fact they almost always pay the fine instead of returning and fight it in court.

In Minnesota and I believe a lot of states sobriety tests are "voluntary" but you automatically lose your license if you refuse to take it. I am surprised that's not the case in Virginia.

That's a ridiculously hard thing to do even when sober. I guess they make the tests as hard as possible so that very few people would pass them, sober or not. Is there a limit to how many sobriety tests they can give you, or can they just go on and on until you fail one?

Don’t be afraid to lie, right from the get go. If he asks “Have you been drinking?” ALWAYS say, “No, I don’t drink.” Yes, it’s might be lie, but who cares?. Any admission of drinking at any time is telling a suspicious cop you are lying your head off anyway. Saying anything else is making the cop more suspicious. If it’s a stop for DUI, you told him you don’t drink, then the next thing you say is, “Am I free to go?” Now, it’s all on him. He stopped you for DUI, you told him you never drink, and what is the point of him still detaining you? Keep repeating, "I don’t drink, am free to go?"
