Don't Talk to the Police.

[Volt]

That one has been around as well. I like the Professor and the cop ones better, they speak at a different level. While this one may work better with younger folks. When i get pulled over I only have 4 things to say.

1. Why did you pull me over?
2. Am I under arrest?
3. Am I free to go?

Any thing else is chit chat and as the Prof. noted, cannot ever do me any good.

If asked to search, I refuse without a search warrant. Always polite, but firm in not giving up my rights. Spent 20 years of my ensuring they are available to me.

Just reaffirms what I know. Thanks for posting.

Great advice. If they insist on searching, remember to always ask them to articulate their probable cause and still deny w/o warrant.
