So you get pulled over for a speeding ticket ...

“may I see your driver’s license and registration, please?”

(frozen silence)

Yeah, right. :-)

In most states you are required by law to provide your operators license when pulled over during a traffic stop.

You don’t have to say a word but you are required to give the officer your license,Registration and certificate of automobile insurance coverage.

Yeah, I've often wondered how that scenario might eventually end up. I haven't had the nerve to try it, myself.

Most reasonable people know “don’t talk to the cops” means don’t tell them any more than you are legally required to. You’re legally required to show them your license and registration.

You’re not legally required to tell them where you’re going, where you are coming from, why you “look nervous”, or any of the myriad other questions they always ask to try and trip you up during a traffic stop so they can claim probable cause to search you on a fishing expedition.
