How To Deal With Law Enforcement During A Traffic Stop
[QUOTE=Mucsea;3060605]Not really sure why people think they have to tell LEO where they're going? If you're pulled over, they ask where your going, kindly ask the Officer why they pulled them over. No need to tell them a story. You have every right to be on any street. Keep it short and direct with LEO when pulled over.[/QUOTE]Having a hooker in your car who assumably has crack and heroin, and definitely has drug paraphernalia on her, it would be foolish to exercise your rights. In this situation, you are at the cop's mercy, and the more polite and respectful you are, the better your chances of him not searching the vehicle or otherwise giving you a hard time. Even if you don't have a hooker in your car, if you have committed even a minor traffic violation, answering the cop's questions will greatly decrease your odds of receiving a citation. So, I can't think of a traffic situation in which it is ever wise to exercise your right to remain silent. I guess if you're a hitman or bank robber, it can be worthwhile taking the ticket or even a search of the car with a hooker in it, so you don't slip up and give them info about your huge crimes; but for layfolk, avoiding traffic citations or drug charges should be a priority over exercising your rights.
