LAWYER: Police LIES & DUMB Questions: 10 Best Responses! 

Love it 🏆

This works, did it

I had a bumper sticker that said, "Do you follow Jesus this closely?" and every time a cop was on my bumper they'd back way off after reading it 😄

I like that so much I'm ALMOST tempted to try it!

And you might win a cop for Jesus! 😊😅

"The biggest threat to the public is a cop!"

"The biggest threat to the public is a cop!"

Contempt of cop is what most get arrested for

Which is basically all of them.

@@Laternater Remove basically and you are 💯 correct!

Same happened to me! 100%

@Fortworthcriminallawyers when the cops searched your car was you a Lawyer or did it happened before you were a Lawyer?

Same here, once at border patrol! Next time border patrol wanted to search, I said no thank you. They said I couldn't decline search and I said again no thanks, they detained us for about 30 minutes, then let us go.

"Per my lawyer's advice, I cannot let you search my vehicle *unless you have a warrant."*

because at one time it was yes.....when this and all the other videos tell u 100x to not allow the po po to search?

This is every citizen's fear....that this sort of abuse is pathological....

I'm not saying ALL officers because I've known some with a servants heart that truly just wanted to make the world safer. But like unicorns, they're a rare exception and often never seen to the point that their existence is the stuff of myths and legends.

@@bherenow And people wonder why cops are being ambushed.

Be polite. Do not consent to search. If the officer insists on searching anyway, take a moment to explain to the officer that qualified immunity will not protect them from a civil suit for damages, but do not resist.

Yep! Just ask Hannah Gutierrez-Reed and Alec Baldwin.

Because the millions of us, who simply TALKED our way out of a police encounter, do not end up being a defense attorney's customers 🙂

​@wombatsgalore you talked your way out of an encounter? I highly doubt that. More like he couldn't find probable cause even with you making statements.

@@scottnaylon, I talked my way out of MULTIPLE encounters in the last 10 years... Perhaps, that's because no one ever suspected me of anything other than speeding -- but it is the truth anyway.

@@wombatsgalore *"I talked my way out of MULTIPLE encounters in the last 10 years..."* No you haven't. @scotnaylon is correct, and the pigs you've spoken to either simply haven't been able to connect your comments to probable cause that you've committed a crime, or they weren't looking to jam someone up during the interaction. In the 28 years I've been driving, I've been pulled over dozens of times for a variety of traffic infractions, and I've only ever received two speeding tickets and one seatbelt ticket; everything else has been a verbal warning. I don't answer the pigs BS questions, but I'm also polite. I'm also intelligent enough to understand that I've simply not had the misfortune of encountering a pig who's decided they're going to try to abuse their authority. *"Perhaps, that's because no one ever suspected me of anything other than speeding"* The fact that you can make this statement while claiming that you've "talked your way out of" anything is laughable. It also demonstrates that you lack any manner of critical thinking skills. You didn't talk your way out of those encounters; the pigs who pulled you over simply didn't suspect you of doing anything other than speeding. That has absolutely nothing to do with your ability to talk your way out of things.

I always like the smart ass reply

😂

Officers you should see a doctor about your hallucinations. I've heard it can be a sign of mini strokes

Funny, you don't look like a dog

"Tell me, Officer - if you search and DON'T find anything, *how exactly do you prove to a court that you actually did smell marijuana and weren't simply lying about it???"*

Easier to say "id rather not". Or just don't say anything. It's silly all the advice on particular words to say. You both know the language. (not talking isn't evidence. But the officer can testify to ALL of your demeanor. Excited, angry, fidgeting, screaming, staggering, and not talking. It's up to a jury to decide what that means, if it even can go to your intent. It's just part of the whole. Even a confession isn't enough. I've never seen a case where a confession was the main evidence. It's suspect, but if it were suppressed on a technicality, the case is out the windows. DAs don't want that. I'm a retired police Detective).

You're always detained during a lawful traffic stop. That's a given.

My favorite is: "I'm sure you have to tell me."

"You tell me, Socrates."

"If you don't know, how should I?"

"The drugs in my glove box?"

“I don’t answer questions.” Simple but effective.

Not an american, but I can tell you the brilliant people who came up with the legal rights for its citizens knew what they were doing. Countries that don't have these rules / restrictions on law enforcement have more corruption. The 5th amendment was not written to protect the guilty, but the innocent. Innocence before established guilt is not for the guilty either. There is a great video that everybody should know by now called "don't talk to police" by a law school prof. He outlines how many innocent people were convicted of crimes because they spoke to police. It doesn't matter if you are telling the truth or lying, it CAN and WILL be used AGAINST you.... refusing a search or staying silent is not a sign of guilt - it is a symbol of intelligence. Police tell their kids the same things. That's always why invoking your right to remain silent isn't evidence that you committed a crime. Don't get angry, don't blow up, just refuse to answer questions and ask if you're free to go. That is your best option 100% of the time.

*"Years ago this would be what a career criminal followed to be able to slip through the loopholes and keep doing crime."* Except these aren't loopholes; they're intended protections for everyone. Calling our Constitutionally protected right "loopholes" implies that they are unintentional gaps in the system that bad actors can exploit, or intentional gaps intended to allow the ones making the rules to get away with things.

Ot necessarily accurate. Tge police have been out of control and borderline corrupt for many years. The prevalence of cameras in every vehicle has only brought it to light.

@@eatfatlivelong1529 "Borderline?"

​@@shearitchie998 you misunderstand the definition of rights. Everybody has these rights. But in America, the founding documents say that to secure the rights of the people, governments are instituted among men. They don't go by that anymore. Any government agent that is still here is actively violating everybody's rights and doesn't seem to care who knows it! e.g. a recent high-profile case!

If they lie, there’s no reason to think they won’t plant evidence. When it comes to corruption, in for a penny, in for a pound.

Some cops plant evidence to move up in rank even. I know cause I USED to be friends with a cop until I got so sick of listening to him brag about busting and beating up guys he stopped. All of his cop friends were the same way.

That's absolutely true. If they want to get you, they'll find a way. Truth and honesty are optional at best. t mm

Well also depending on the circumstances they could very well tear your whole shit apart for nothing. And there's nothing you can do about that if you consent. Also just frankly 8 out of 10 times they have no legitimate right to search the vehicle during a routine traffic stop. At most they can pull you out and search you "for officer safety" , but even that doesn't give them a right to search the vehicle , only your person once they have you detained.for The vehicle they truthfully need consent or a warrant. (Ps it's best to be aware when they violate these things And handle it in court afterwards.

This has happened to millions of drivers over the decades. This is one sure reason why tyrants do not like to be filmed. Should cops ask/demand you to turn off your camera, simply say no. You don't have to give cops a reason it is your legal right to film. Listen carefully to how they are asking questions. If you are ever in doubt inform the cop that you do not give permission to search your vehicle ever. Never, never trust the police. Cops are not our friends.

..that seems unlikely, but if true, hopefully you didn't give consent to the search.

It’s disgusting what some of these scumbags will do.

One commentator mentioned that if you are a career criminal, the best protection is a badge.

If there were no cameras recording, then I just don't believe that. Cops are not afraid of "words". Cameras are a different story, ESPECIALLY when people have multiple cameras running (front/rear dash cams) and more importantly, LIVE STREAMING CAMERAS! Cops HATE *LIVE*. They know that they can't just delete content!

@@eventhisidistaken Try to keep up. Google Bexar County in TX for planted drug evidence.

OR MINIMALLY GET A SUBSCRIPTION WITH "ATTORNEY SHIELD" PRIOR TO ANY LEO SUSPICIONS! SCOTUS MANDATES THAT LEO SUSPICITONS ARE EVIDENCE OF FEELING OF THEIRS AS INTENSIVELY THEIR ACADEMY HAS TRAINED THEM.

​@@georgedunkelberg5004True. To most cops there are only two kinds of people: Cops and the guilty. In their minds, no cop could ever be guilty and no citizen can ever be innocent.

Depends on state law as it pertains to a traffic stop?

That's a good approach, but you may also need, "Is that a lawful order", "am I under arrest" , "am I being detained" and "am I free to go".

Not bad. The Pott Brothers have a better script.

Yes it happend to me I was driving my mom's new Toyota camry when they said they smelled weed they tore up every thing in that car didn't find anything and just left me there.

Not so much terrified as disgusted.

@@erictheslayer561sounds like you are good at hiding things. 👍

@@stomper2582 Then what does it take to prove your innocence???? If a complete lack of contraband doesn't prove you are innocent, *what will???*

@@stomper2582sounds like you graduated from the police academy.

The fact that people have wrongfully served DECADES in prison means *I shouldn't talk to the cops without a lawyer* because I don't want to be the next innocent person who gets wrongfully convicted!!!

Another one is, prosecutors know it is easy to convict the guilty...convicting the innocent takes talent and work.

The first time I ever got pulled over, I was trying to take my grandmother out for a picnic. I live in Portland Maine and it happened to be during the Old Port festival and we ended up on commercial Street, I had already waited multiple times for pedestrians to cross, and after the 15th time of slowing down to let people cross, I started slowing down but the person was looking down the street rather than towards the street so I didn't think they were ready to cross the street. They pulled me over for not stopping for a pedestrian. The second time I got pulled over, I was with my three younger cousins whom I may nannied for I think about 75% of the money that I made nannying I ended up spending on them, and I was taking them either to the mall or McDonald's I can't remember. I got pulled over and a speed trap where the speed was 35 even though it really should have been at 50 or at least 10 mph more than that, which I usually obeyed, but the girls were fighting and I had turned around to yell at them to cool it. The officer pulled me over, and had asked me for my license and insurance. The first time I had gotten pulled over I just got a warning without being asked for any information, so this was my first time responding. Please note that I have Asperger's, and sometimes I interpret things very literally and tend to miss the point of the social interaction. I handed him my license and my HEALTH insurance. The cop went ballistic, yelling at me what the hell was I doing because I was driving a car here, and demanded my car insurance, which I did have. Of course at that point when I got it I was crying. He also gave me a hard time, because my state had just passed the law that people who hadn't had their license for a year couldn't drive with other minors, literally a week and a half before. This of course was to stop 17 and 18 year olds go out drinking and driving or distract each other by being goofy when they first get their license. I was one month short from having my license for a year and I was watching a 9 and two 10 year olds, hardly my peers.

I love that

I would say no, because he told me to dump it out.

Yea, every now and then you get an officer who has a heart and actually cares for people. I had a few cops cut me some big breaks in my younger years, but I know that I was incredibly fortunate.

Back in the 1990s maybe but yes

..school of hard knocks...thanks for the lesson!

You realize it's not unlawful to have cough syrup by now, right?

@@SherlockGnomes007 well this was some that got prescribed to my friend so technically yes it was illegal for me to have it but an almost empty bottle logged under the seat isn't drug dealing its just trash IMHO. Cops don't care though more to the point, most of them will be happy to fuck up your life forever over a technically or something accidental like that so don't give them any trust or any benefit of the doubt because it's unlikely they will do the same.

Driving home from an 18 hour day. 5 miles under the limit at 10pm. Got stopped. No weaving nothing. Asked why I was stopped Cop says sobriety check. I said you look OK to me carry on. He laughed and walked away.

...all of that only works against you in court. What you want, is a recording of the cop's interaction with you, and nothign else. You might want that other stuff in civil court.

The cops didn't pay for your lawsuits. The taxpayers did. The cop that was fired most likely ended up in some other police department somewhere else, probably the next town over.

KNOW THAT SCOTUS ENABLES LEOS NON LIABILITY TO LIE! SO WHAT THAT IT'S UN CONSTITUTIONAL? THEIR INTERPRETATIONS SUPERCEDE JUSTICE FOR CITIZENS. but? who didn't know that? says dd

The cops literally tell you that *ANYTHING you say can & will be used against you!!!!*

@@ianbattles7290What they don't tell you is that it generally can't be used by you to establish your innocence. They should have to put that in the Miranda warning.

To put it another way, nothing you say will help you.

I told the cop "I have no idea why you stopped me" Cop "You were on your phone" Me "Officer, my phone is in it's case and turned off. I don't understand how you could have seen me using it."

Motorist: Damn, you forgot in the time you turned your lights on until now? Is it early onset senility or did you smoke your lunch today?

I love it

"You smell pot? Olfactory hallucinations are a serious symptom, quite often linked to serious brain damage. You'd better get that checked out."

Act like you think it is the lead-in to a joke. "No! Why did you stop me?" and then smile like you are waiting for the punchline. Or look thoughtful for a moment and then say "I give up! Why did you stop me?"

DON'T FORGET THAT COPS HAVE AND MUTED AND REDACTED, AND NEVER DELIVERED BWC AS "THE LAW" MANDATES. VIDEO RECORD FOR YOUR SAFETY.

Guaranteed way to get a ticket!

"No, I've been crying a little. I heard a radio report of a policeman who was shot on duty. It's so sad, you guys/gals go out of your way to serve the public, and people treat you like this. I wish you all the best." There, that should work!

I said that once 20 years ago, had been swimming all day (I’m sure my eyes were red, was still in swimming trunks and flip flops). I spent 40 minutes on the side of the road waiting for a breathalyzer. Blew a 0.00. Cop was super pissed.

Custard's last stand

Agreed! *ESPECIALLY* when it comes to “questioning” aka interrogations at the police station! HOW any “confession” given after cops have *endlessly lied* about evidence, witnesses, etc is allowed to stand up in court! Since if THAT doesn’t qualify as intimidation & coercion I don’t know what does! Outright lying to people during a basic traffic stop to in interrogation in order to coerce people to say whatever the cop wants SHOULD be illegal! But like most of the things the cops, gov agencies & courts are allowed to do it’s the corrupt Supreme Court that allows it. How the duck such a small number of judges that we the people have *ZERO* say in appointing(FOR LIFE at that!)has the absolute final authority for not only the law but rights & freedoms as well…HAS to be the most UN-American thing ever!!

You can lie to the police. He says it right in the video. You can lie to the police about things involving yourself in most states. You just can’t lie as a witness.

It's not illegal to lie to local and state officers. It's illegal to file a false report.

Repeatedly responding to the cop's questions with "why?" or "no, why?" often works well.

Officer, I love you dearly, like a brother, but I'm not obliged to tell you these things. Heck, sometimes I even don't know myself. My girlfriend just says, go, just go. So I gotta go!

I did have a NY cop ask me that. I was going to work and passed on the right side of a car turning left in a school zone. Not allowed. When I told him where I was going, he related to it because he trained in that town while in the military. He didn’t give me a ticket.

"Officer, I am exercising my right to remain silent" is always the best response. It is respectful, and also informs the officer that you are "one of those" who is not easily manipulated. If you were speeding, 99 times out of 100 they'll just write the ticket and send you on your way after that.

@@denisepeter7050 There are exceptions to every rule. This is one of them. I once broke my own rule when getting pulled over with my daughter sitting in the passenger seat, drunk, still in her graduation gown. I told the cop I was on my way home from picking up my daughter, the college graduate, who didn't want to drive after drinking, and I was in a hurry because my wife needs to pick our other daughter up from a dance, and our youngest son is in bed asleep. I apologized and said I didn't mean to be disrespectful, but I would really appreciate it if he wrote me my speeding ticket quickly so that I didn't make my wife late. He let me off with a warning to manage my time better next time.

When I was 16 my boyfriend had purchased a VW Bug. We were cleaning it out and he did the same pulled out the backseat and found what we used to call a lid. 😊 We were pretty happy as we were headed to see Ted Nugent that night 😅😅😅

"No, no quota. My captain says I can write as many of these as I want". An actual response to the quota claim, by an officer friend of mine.

​@@tomsmith5216 I mean, it seems only fair. If we can use humor, the cops ought to be able to as well.

I would say, most cops are decent people. The problem is, you don't know in advance. I'd rather get a ticket for a tail light out than have some jack booted jack wagon tear my car apart without compensation.

BS

Even if they don't do that, a 'search' can involve completely destroying your car. Because you consented, they are under no financial responsibility to restore it (they didn't ask if they could search and restore, only if they could search). If you consent, you have literally just handed the title over to them to do anything they want. Remember to say 'thank you' if it is still drive-able when they're done. If you refuse consent, you at least have a basis for a civil suit for damages - still a long shot.

@@eventhisidistaken that's why you NEVER consent to search.

Another reason end the drug war

"Officer, are you under the influence of any substances that might affect your memory/cognition?"

​@@ianbattles7290 THe officer is asking for trouble.

As fun as that may be, it's always best to both exercise your rights and also remain civil and non-antagonistic. "Officer, I am exercising my right to remain silent". "Officer, I refuse consent to any and all searches". "Officer, am I being detained, or am I free to go?". "Officer, I invoke my right to speak only through my attorney". You do not have to play along with their games, but it's wise to be civil while also letting them know you know your rights.

Once I learned even the basics of real law, it's amazing how cops not only install zero fear into me, but the opposite is true. I've had the sheriff come arrest a cop who wouldn't leave me alone after I ordered him away. LEARN. REAL. LAW. (Not *statute* law.)

AFTER STATING THE SCOTUS MANDATED STATEMENTS THAT REQUIRE A CITIZEN TO STATE FOR PREVENTION OF VIOLATIONS OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

..which is why you need to train for it. Watch these types of videos over and over until you're sure you'll react properly.

That's actually not true. Be respectful, but exercise your rights. Cops leave you alone as soon as they know "you're one of 'those'". They'll just write you up and you'll be on your way, which is what you want. Unless you're a young hot female, you're not talking your way out if it anyway.

Not true. If you must "invoke" your rights (like casting a magical spell), then they aren't inalienable. Only "citizens" (slaves) must "invoke" rights, not men, and even then, that's only IN COURT. Cops are not judges and the street is not a lawful venue.

EVERYONE!!!… This One☝🏻, He “STILL” Rides The 🚌ShortBus.🚌. 🎯💯😏

News flash--a great many of those "good" cops were dirty too. I wonder how many innocent people you've ruined over the years because you refused to see it.

You say that with such conviction as if police will honor it 100%. CA law enforcement break civil and constitutional right more than all the rest of the U.S. combined.

Qualified immunity reform is needed. Complete abolishment would create even more troubles in law enforcement.

​@@VioletWings1353Agreed. There needs to be further constraint on Qualified Imminity, not just a blanket clause. Qualified Immunity also needs to be reviewed and determined by an independent party versed in the laws and Constituional Rights of the individuals in question. Having the police investigate the police for possible violations of Qualified Imminity is like having a football team be its own referees in the Championship game.

Abolish ALL immunity now, nobody should be above the law.

​@@mysterydrones2473 I agree, 100%. Laws must apply to everyone, or they are pointless.

Qualified Immunity shouldn't be the standard, it should be the exception. There should be a checklist of actions followed by an officer and if ALL the steps were followed, then a judge MAY decide to award immunity. But if any of the checklist items were not adhered to, then immunity is off the table.

OR ATTORNEY SHIELD! LETS GET BRAGGING RIGHT AND RESULTS!

If you are at the station taking a breath or blood test you have already been arrested and even if you blow 00 doesn't mean that you will be turned loose because cop might decide that you are on drugs and you have to do a blood test and if you can't pay bail you have to stay in jail or they could let you out on a PR bond. Your arrest will be on record, if you want it off the record you have to pay a lawyer to have it expunged unless you can figure out a way to do it yourself. But if I remember right there are some charges you can't get expunged, could be wrong.

Of course you can decline. You might then get a suspension of your license even if you are later found not guilty. All the officers observations of you he can testify to. Slurred speech, fumbling for license, etc are part of his cause. Refusal to take the Roadside test doesn't stop the evidence or stop an arrest. DUI machines are very accurate. Let your lawyer dispute that in court. Drug influence is a bigger deal nowdays. If you want to take chances and pay your costs, you might win. You might not. But it's always your choice.

@@michaelkatz7862 Re-charging with "driving while drugged" is how the cops and DA try to save their "bacon" from a lawsuit over a wrongful arrest if you "blow zeros". Hence another reason WHY you don't consent to FSTs; it may be a reason to do the PAST, since if you haven't been drinking, and haven't recently used anything that would also trigger it, like breath mints or mouthwash (the officer is supposed to ASK if you'd used any recently, but often they neglect to), a "zero" reading would very much work against the officer's assertion that your "breath smells of alcohol" or your "speech is slurred", indicating drunkeness.

Trouble with field sobriety tests is that the police are not trained medical experts and able to differentiate between drunkeness and post-stroke/spinal surgery/sciatic nerve injury and the resulting gait clumsiness. Or in my case, minor balance problem due to a broken neck many years ago. There are many other reasons for irregular gait, poor balance and other fails of their corny tests, so don't do em.

User: How many were on that unanimous call? 3, 4, 5? Did they have a short or long discussion before voting? 😮🤔🙃🫣🫤😳

If you are an active serviceman, insist that an MP attend. You are not subject to civil authority.

You want to check your ORC? I'm sure that's only if you're ARRESTED for DUI, and requested to "blow" (or, in some jurisdictions, you can have blood drawn, none that I know of collects urine samples, though they're legal). Unless you're under 21 (a minor, for purposes of possession and/or consumption of alcohol) or on DUI probation (all states that grant a restricted license during the DUI probation require the PAST as a condition, if you refuse, you not only will have your license REVOKED, but it's a violation of probation, you can and likely will be taken to jail), you do NOT have to do the "roadside blow" if you don't want to. However, it might help keep the officer from arresting you ANYWAY if you "blow zero", as it'd be a lot harder to sustain probable cause for a DUI arrest in that case. However, often the officer just then blurts out, "I smell 'weed' ", it's all a SCAM.

You are incorrect. In Ohio the law changed at the beginning of the year. No concealed permit required and you don't have to tell a cop if you have gun in your car or on your person.

Nothing, legally except call your lawyer.

@@deebee4575 OR HAVE "ATTORNEY SHIELD" CALLED ASAP!

While leaving would probably get you arrested on a felony "evasion" charge, and, yes, likely a beat-down by those sworn to "protect and serve", you are within your rights to refuse to be unlawfully detained. Probably the BEST outcome is to simply wait it out, keep recording and noting how long it takes, so if they make anything of it, or you want to sue them (just simply a lengthy detention on the side of the road, IDK what that's going to get if they let you on your way anyhow.

The stop can be extended beyond the initial stop if they have reasonable suspicion of crime beyond the traffic violation. And that doesn't have to be articulated to you on the roadside but can be challenged in court.

You do nothing at the time if you are still detained. In court anything they found may be thrown out as evidence if you have a good lawyer.

I actually told a cop that once.

It´s always a bad idea to provoke a cop. A simple "No" forces him to lay down his cards and you know if you got an asshole or a good cop. Even a good cop may get pissed if you are getting snarky and now he wants to get revenge and you know he doesn´t care if he´s got to go to court but you are wasting your time with this

Wrong answer.

I guess it hasn't occurred to you that you'd be incriminating yourself. Why would you answer any question t hat could most like do you more harm that anyone else? If a cop pulls you over, you are the focus of his interest. You are the suspect.

You could easily be convicted just based on the Officers "Opinion".

Passing the PBT generally can't be used by your lawyer at trial if you end up being charged, but failing it absolutely gives the cop probable cause to arrest you, where he might not have had enough without it. So at best, you haven't improved or worsened your situation by blowing that 0.0. And in theory, blowing the 0.0 may result in the cop letting you leave. However, with legalized weed becoming more ubiquitous, more and more often, blowing a 0.0 just gets the police to quickly pivot to another theory, usually expressed with a statement like "okay, well stay right here, because I have reason to believe that you may be under the influence of a substance other than alcohol. This is especially important if you have any stimulants in your system, such as a prescription for weight loss, COPD or ADHD, and here's why: If you refuse to do a FST, as you always should, and you also refuse to do the portable roadside breathalyzer, the police will almost always spend at least some time trying to convince you to consent. This often will include vague statements or even dishonest bluffs that bolster their supposed suspicion, and some of those things may be inconsistent with a theory that you are impaired by stimulants. For example, if you haven't been drinking and you tell the cop that, he might say something like "well, you seem to be responding very slowly to me" or "you seemed to take a long time to find your registration and insurance" and "that makes me suspicious that you really have been drinking, so if you haven't, it'll be a lot better for both of us if you just submit to a breath test here and now." I had a cop say something like that to me a few years ago, and I made a point of pausing, looking at him sideways, and slowly mirroring his comment. "You think I'm reacting too slowly?" He said "Uh huh. That's what I said." And then after a moment of awkward silence, he added that I was slouching in my seat, and that, despite my claim that I'd had nothing to drink, he thought I'd had at least one or two, because he could smell it on me. He closed with something like "and if that's true, everything'll be fine. You'll show a nice low number and then I can feel comfortable letting you drive off 'cause I'll know that you're okay to drive." At that point, I know he either thinks he has enough to arrest me or he doesn't. If he doesn't, and I refuse to blow, he still doesn't have probable cause. And this is the key: if he does think he has probable cause, he's going to arrest me regardless. But if he does, when we get back to the station and the results show only a small amount of stimulant meds, it will be hard for them to prove that I was impaired by those meds, because the cop has already said several things that were inconsistent with a stimulant, and the comment about smelling alcohol showed either that he's dishonest and therefore unreliable, or his perception and observational skills were poor, and therefore, unreliable. Technically, the cop is allowed to lie to get you to make admissions, but if that cop's credibility is the primary evidence against you, the jury won't buy it if he casually uses lying as a method for busting people.. So at this point, I tell the officer "If you think you have probable cause, then arrest me, I guess, and I'll submit to a chemical test when we get to the station. But if not, I'd just like to be on my way." That, of course, doesn't sound like something an impaired person would say, and he let me go. But if he had arrested me, the odds of me getting charged, much less convicted, for DUID, would have gone way down because they can't show how much or how recently I took those meds, and the only way to prove impairment is by observing me for signs of stimulant impairment, and the only witness against me is a cop who clearly was wrong about smelling alcohol, and who described my behavior as being indicative of alcohol or depressant substances.

@@thefirm9746 Thank you for the detailed response. I read every word.

I haven't had a drink in nearly 40 years. I had an officer, at a checkpoint, say he believed I'd been drinking and I needed to do the FST and breathalyzer. I calmly told him I had not had a drink since 1974 ( it was 2005), and did he really wish to pursue it, since he had no reason to believe I had been drinking and could not possibly have smelled alcohol on my breath. He spoke to another officer, and told me I could go.

And remember - the cops didn't pull you over to give you a hug and hand you a five dollar bill. *The cops pulled you over because they are looking for ANY excuse to take your money and/or your freedom.*

Get a clue… there is no such thing as 5th Amendment “Rights”… no “Right”, is granted; at all. They merely exist as a matter of fact. The Fifth Amendment only enumerates a specific Right, protected by the Constitution.

​@@ianbattles7290Or, just maybe...you violated a traffic law...

Rights are constant and they don't start or stop based on anyone's actions. You are right not to speak without any speaking to explain or negotiate for control of your body and speech. Lawyers who don't understand that your right is your inherent property, can't be good enough.

Funny thing is, "the odor of marijuana" isn't enough probable cause for a search. This has been determined time and time again because it was over used as a scapegoat for power-tripping police officers. That is why they pretty much always insist on a field sobriety test at that point and repeatedly ask you if they can search your vehicle. Also because we are now in a day where EVERYTHING is being recorded, intentional false "hits" by K9 units are being spotted and identified quickly. There was a case in a city near me where an officer was keeping a small packet of illegal drugs in his pocket and was planting the scent by touching the drug, and then touching the vehicles transferring the scent for the dog to hit on. Him and a partner were using that as an excuse to search any vehicle that didn't give almost immediate consent for a search. Funny enough, it was the compiled dashcam footage of the cruisers that eventually gave their bit away, and they were both dismissed from their duties.

This is tough to do. Most officers will not admit to a false alert for the dog.
