Also, how does this work? I say hi and whatnot, but as soon as the questions start I say "plead the fifth?" kinda curious about how that works out. thanks! -EDIT- Also I live in FL...so yeah... The only time I got pulled over was a few months ago (in July) just about 2 days after I got my license and I was on my way home, stopped at a red light trying to go left, a cop pulls in behind me fairly fast, I thought he was about to go after someone so I waited until there was no incoming traffic and took the left... needless to say he pulled me over. I told him what I thought was going to happen, gave him my license and info, and he just told me to be more careful (especially since I was a new driver, and I was a pretty shitty driver back then) and he took off. Although I think the only reason he let me off was cuz he felt sorry for me, I was shaking and stuttering (half on purpose, half out of genuine fear) and I "looked" like a good enough kid (glasses n whatnot). | ||

Edit: Just curious, what type of area do you live in/patrol? I live in a suburban area myself. A top 10 major city >.> so very urban. To the guy above me...being younger doesn't affect your civil rights. If anything it gives you even more protection. | ||

 ) you should record the conversation (just call an answering machine or something and put your phone on speaker). Don't agree to do anything you don't have to and don't want to (like let them search your car or stop recording), but other than that do your best to accommodate them. Cops for the most part won't go out of their way to fuck with you unless you've done something seriously wrong (give heroin to kids, punch old ladies) or annoyed them. Assuming you're a decent enough person not to commit any serious moral offenses, all you need to keep them off your back is to not annoy them, which is where you failed. Learning experience. | ||

Most cops are on power trips and will abuse their power often (even to the smallest degree- parking in handicap or red zone for prolonged period, getting a friend out of a minor moving violation ticket, etc). So if you flat out tell a cop you won't talk, you are taking his training and power of the situation away and he knows it. So he can defaultly take you down to the station with probable cause and blah blah. They will do everything they can to hassle you for hassling them and try to take back their power. What you should have done is just said, "Am I under arrest? Are you going to read my Miranda rights to me?", If they say no and/or don't arrest you then you can simply say "I don't want to say anything incriminating against my friends or myself and choose not to speak". If they do arrest you, and do read you your rights you can say the same thing. But again, cops being cops they might still get pissed and try to hassle the fuck out of you even if you did nothing wrong (in there minds they are serving street justice on you to teach you a lesson to talk to police and answer their questions). Plus they just assume since you aren't denying it and everyone else was, then you must be the one who did it. Thank god these retards are not also the judges. Btw, It could possibly have been your friends blaming you. So take that into consideration. And about the search- Don't ever allow it if they ask, even if you are clean. It's just an invasion of privacy and waste your time and theirs. (use this bolded line IRL) Plus, when is the last time you looked around your car? Maybe someone dropped something in the back seat? Maybe the cop is crooked as fuck and plans on planting shit in your glove box. | ||

Your first paragraph makes me believe you're full of shit. You must live in a place where there isn't much to do. Most cops here don't give a rats ass if some teenagers says "NO I'M NOT TALKING." Really, what difference does it actually make? This "most" crap you're spewing is remarkable. There has been such a crack down on these so called "power trips" that if you're caught doing them you can expect to get suspended for 2+ weeks up and including to getting fired. In a busy place the only real reason I'm going to talk to you is because you drew your attention to me somehow. I've made some pretty big dope finds on someone that was just "looking around." IE someone I haven't ever seen before standing around the corner at 2 am in the morning... A car in an abandoned parking lot will always be suspicious. It's literally like hanging up a sign that says "HEY IM DOING SOMETHING ILLICIT HERE PLEASE HARASS ME." People generally get harassed because they actually did something wrong, they know it, the cop knows it, and now it's just a cat and mouse game. Don't want to be bothered? Don't draw such obvious attention to yourself. I won't deny of course that there are crooked cops out there and ones that harass for no reason other than to go off on a power trip but most of the people I've met are really normal...just more cynical and morbid because you deal with the worst people have to offer all the time. | ||

I guess the police got mad cuz i didnt want to talk My in-laws are almost all cops, and honestly, if you co-operate with them(especially since you are innocent) they are way more leniant on you... If you decide to keep your mouth closed, they give you the persona of a young punk trying to act tough infront of his friends with the cops there. Your better off talking in situations like that... now if you killed someone! thats a different story! | ||

And, I'm going to make a video that explains why you should not only talk to the police but fucking run in every situation. Fender bender on the highway? HAUL ASS TO THE WOODS. Police make a house call because of a noise complaint? OUT THE BATHROOM WINDOW AND INTO THE FORESTS. | ||

And yes NEVER consent to a search. Be polite about it but always assert your right to not be searched without due process. | ||

Your better off talking in situations like that... now if you killed someone! thats a different story! This might be how it seems from their perspective, but to me this sounds more like a bunch of people who want to be dominating a submissive, and get upset if anyone makes more work for them, punishing them for doing what is their right, and using the (often false) promise of leniency in order to get them to give up their rights to their own disadvantage. Why does it sound like this to me? | ||
