*Things to do if the Police stop you* :
-Always speak respectfully.
-Don't run.
-Say: "Can I speak to my lawyer?"
-Say: "Am I under arrest?"
if the answer is 'no', or there is no answer,
Say: "Can I go now?"
-Do not consent to a search, even if they search you or your vehicle, this may
protect your rights in court.
-Never act aggressively with a cop, they are trained to escalate, and can take
you down everytime. Remember they have the power of the State behind them.
-Try not to answer leading questions.
-Answer questions with questions, or ask to speak to your lawyer first (even if
you don't have one).
This may not stop an arrest, but at least you won't incriminate yourself, or
give them useful information.
Good luck.
Remember, no matter who you vote for, the cops are always there.

WRONG!! You never say the words "can I" to a U.S. police officer for
it is an open ended question and it will show the officer that you lack
confidence and are not fully aware of your rights. Any request must be
predicated by a "I Will"...i.e. "I will speak to my lawyer and no
one else!" ... "I will leave now!" NYPD are the worst
offenders of unwarranted intimidation....The truth is knowledge of your rights
coupled with complete confidence will get you anywhere. Too bad all the long
haired hippie protestesters getting arrested dont kno this.

You forgot one, Anarchia. Never hang out in crack houses or with hookers. Those
silly police want to search you for rocks or see if you are sucking people off
for rocks. Crazy Coppers.

Always obey the law.
Never carry anything illegal.
Always say sir or maam if stopped for any reason.
If you have nothing to hide searches are nothing.
Police red flags:
young people in sports cars.
young people with long hair and hip outfits.
unfortunately young black males are still a red flag.
older people can drive anything as long as it is the speed limit.
