You are wrong.
The police take advantage of kids. They are always stopping and hassling kids.
I taught kids to say over and over to the police “I have nothing to say” which gives them something to say without incriminating themselves. Also, “I do not consent to that search.”
Kids and most people do not know that cops are permitted and do lie in their interactions with the people.
They hide other cops behind trees and bushes so you don’t know more than one is there.
Never open your door to a cop. He will stick his foot in the door. Ask the cop for his card and tell him you will call if you have any information for him.
Stay calm. Ask for your lawyer. Zip your lips.
Cops don’t seem to serve much anymore, they are out to get young people and cause hassles for parents. Cops used to pour out kids’ alcohol in the past, now they ruin a kid’s future by giving them a minor in possession charge.
Agree with most of what you say, except the part about minor in possession charges ruining a kid’s future. My own criminal record consists of two MIPs from 1973 and 1974, but I’m not aware that they ever kept me from a job or admission to college. I took care of any future-ruining all by myself.
Were you teaching kids who had prior criminal records? Or gang members out of jail?
Youtube has some videos on someone dealing with border agents that want to search their car.
All they say, over and over again, is
“am I being detained or am I free to go?”
No gov’t agent can “detain” you without an arrest.
