[QUOTE=JackMehauf;6563091]Exactly! No matter what they ask you, your only response should always be, "Officer, I respectfully decline to answer any question without my lawyer present". Repeat as often as required. Keep in mind they probably know what you are doing / did when they pulled you over. Their problem is that they don't have any proof thus they are relying on YOU to give them the proof they need for an arrest. Don't give it to them. STFU! Without anything to go on, they will have to let you be on you way.
Just go on YouTube and search for "don't talk to police". There are thousands of videos form lawyers telling you what to do when confronted by LEO whether in traffic or otherwise.
P.S. This same advise also applies to any DUI encounters.[/QUOTE]The question hasn't changed in over 30 years. The first time I got stopped when I was 17 on my motorcycle, was, do you know why I stopped you. So the fishing expedition starts. You have no idea why they stopped you. You're going from here to there, or you're just out for a ride. Now at my age, the question is still the same. It's going to always be the first questions ever asked and they're hoping you name something different. Because you'll get hung up on that too. I remember getting stopped on time, and just sticking my hands out the window. And the female deputy was like. What are you doing? I said just go ahead and take me. I have nothing else to do tonight. This is when I had a real nasty criminal lawyer on retainer. She didn't take me. I've often want to tell the female deputies when they go. Do you know why I stopped you? Yeah you're looking for a date. But that would probably won't be back in jail. Don't talk to them. Don't give them any information whatsoever you're not obligated to tell them shit and your drivers license and registration insurance card. Keep your mouth shut don't say a thing keep your hands on the steering wheel And I have a hard time building a case against you.
