Roadside Etiquette
When you find yourself facing the less than pleasurable experience of being pulled over, it is important to remain calm and keep your head on straight. The following are some tips for interacting with a cop when you are in the middle of a roadside stop:
Keep it polite: No matter how much a cop is aggravating you, don’t allow yourself to get worked up. If you are rude or insubordinate to a cop, you can cause yourself more trouble. Make sure you remain polite and mind your manners during a roadside stop.
Answer calmly: When a cop questions you, remain calm and answer everything as clearly as you can without getting emotionally worked up. The more you ramble and carry on, the better chance you have of saying something you will regret later. Keep your answers succinct and to the point.
Contact a lawyer: If you are uncertain about what your rights are in a certain situation, let the officer know you would like to contact your lawyer. Have a criminal defense attorney on hand that you trust and seek their advice as soon as you possibly can. The earlier you have legal counsel on your side the better.
