The best thing to do when pulled over by a police officer for a traffic violation is to shut up and hand over the license, proof of insurance, and registration. The lawman has a gun, handcuffs, and an effective license to be as mean as he cares to be. It is foolish to provoke them by saying anything. It may be unfair and unjust, but unless you want physical pain, humiliation, and high court and lawyer costs, compliance is the best advice.
There’s another group of people who use those same tactics.
Just sayin’
“The best thing to do when pulled over by a police officer for a traffic violation is to shut up and hand over the license, proof of insurance, and registration.”
I take the added step of only opening the window enough to allow this and not answering any questions.
