That being said, GM, we raise our kids to be respectful of the law and not incidentally LEOs; stuff happens, and even in small-town-America, teens get pulled over. While you think you are being respectful to an officer by appearing cooperative, depending on his/her testosterone level at the time, in a heartbeat, you can be in big trouble.
Posted on these threads almost daily, we see officers overstepping their bounds. These videos are a good cautionary note to all of us.
I did not mean to refuse to speak to a LEO (nor did the good professor) who, while in the performance of his duty, stops you while driving, or not answer questions put to you. (as regards why you were stopped)
You are under no compulsion in law to go any further. You may, however, blab about anything you care to blab about. In fact, in most cases the more you blab the quicker the cop will want to get away from you.
