Cop was in front of me driving maybe 10 on a 55mph hwy so I hit the signal and safely passed him. Pulled me over, I was sober and I passed each test fine. Which just pissed the cop off more and more each test. When he realized I was sober after the 5th test he wrote me a $300+ saying I recklessly drove around him and almost put him off the road. Who the hell does that to a cop. I said sir that's not true.. His reply was "who are they going to believe in court, me or you?"

The advice I'm about to give applies to many different encounters with cops. When you get stopped and have done nothing wrong, they're gonna go "fishing." (Asking stupid questions and looking around your car) I'll answer one or two questions, but then I'll ask one of my own. Look the cop in the eye and say, "Am I being detained, or am I free to go?" This puts them in the uncomfortable position of having to either tell you you're free to go, or they have to have reasonable suspicion in order to detain you. They can sit there and ask you questions for hours on end if you sit there and keep answering. I had a State Trooper in Texas try to find something to bust me for, but I'd done nothing wrong. After a few minutes of questioning, I got disgusted and remembered a little something I learned during Arrest, Search, and Seisure class I took while in the Police Academy. (I never became a cop. The amount of unethical crap they taught us, ways to find reasons to bust people, etc, left me wanting nothing to do with those a--holes) Anyway, I STRONGLY advise anyone reading this to get a copy of your state's current book on Penal Code. STUDY THE SECTION ON ARREST, SEARCH, AND SEISURE!!!! This section tells you what cops can and CANNOT do. It tells you what your right are. Learn the vocabulary. Understand what arrest, detainment, probable cause, and reasonable suspicion are. When a cop sees that you've read the Penal Code, they start backpeddling real fast.

Years ago when I was asked by a cop if I had been drinking, I simply told him I had been sober over 6 years 4 months, and some odd number of days... He replied by barking back at me, "Are you getting smart with me kid? (I was actually 25, 6'6", 250lbs, and took my sobriety very seriously)". It was at this point I realized the kind of asshole I was dealing with and did what I hate doing most (and had to do most of my life), and that is put on a fake persona of complete submission to avoid an even bigger confrontation/hassle. At the end of the day, I was given a warning for doing nothing wrong and allowed to go home after 40 minutes of my life was wasted. It made me aware of something I really hadn't encountered before up until then with any police officer, that is, some of them are out there to create situations which only they can fix... That is why I do my best to obey the law and avoid them at all cost.

I did the u-turn at the check point, only I didn't realize it was a check point because of the bend in the road, I just thought it was like an accident or something ahead. But anyway yeah other cops came out of the woodwork from side streets and where ever like roaches when the lights turn on.... and they told me avoiding a check point is the same crime as DUI, which I dunno if that is true, but I was saved (after having cuffs put on me and being placed in the back of the cop car), by the luck that a wanted fugitive bailed from his vehicle at the check point and a foot chase started and so the cops let me go to focus on that guy and gave me a verbal warning.

The cops outright lied to you, as they usually do. We have no obligation to go thru the checkpoint, and if we do, we have no obligation to answer a single question. While the courts may have ruled checkpoints legal, they have not ruled that the Constitution is suspended where one is set up. You are under no obligation to roll down your window, either. A cop who demands you roll down ANY of your windows is looking to create a plausible reason to say he "smelled alcohol\weed". He is also lying if he says the law says you have to roll it down. Since you are under no obligation to speak to a cop, EVER, you only need to hear what he has to say. So only roll down your window a crack so you can hear his lies. And record the entire thing with your smart phone.

Not illegal to avoid a dui checkpoint. And they put you in cuffs/detained you? Yeah I'd be suing.

From my personal experience (2 DUI’s) if they want to administer a breathalyzer or blood test & you KNOW that you were caught red handed. I highly suggest you refuse, why may you ask? Because the court will not know your BAC levels & therefore will give you a much lighter sentence. In my case, the first DUI I had two tall cans of king cobra in the middle of the center console. I knew I was caught so I refused the breathalyzer & blood test. My license got suspended for a year & I was ordered to do a 3 month DUI program. As opposed to my 2nd DUI, I did the breathalyzer test received a .28, & got an 18 month DUI program with a 3 year suspension, 5 year court probation & 25 days jail time & one year of having a breathalyzer on my vehicle, also 3 years with a SR-22 insurance requirement. Total cost of both DUI'S? A little over $10,000 which consisted of court fines, restitution, insurance requirements, vehicle breathalyzer, & an 18 month DUI program. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason & due to that last DUI I became sober. Will be hitting the 5 year mark in February. If you are struggling with an addiction & think you can’t overcome this, think again. You are stronger than you think. Just for reference I obtained my first DUI in 2014 & the second one in 2018. Both in California.

I agree never admit to it .several years ago a states top attorney got pulled over she refused all test on the spot and eventually had her case dismissed .that kind told me that if a professional thinks taking the test it must be a good idea.

Its amazing how some "common sense" just can't be aligned with some people. Personally if a cop askes me anything I say "I don't answer questions." The cop will inevitably ask why. To that I say "I don't answer questions."

Good advice, but I would suggest a slight modification. 1. You start correct, specifying you won't answer questions - if you just take the 5th in general, any follow up comment can be considered you waiving your right. 2. Pause, and if the officer asks a follow up question, immediately accuse him of violating your Miranda rights, and state that IF the detention continues, you wish to talk to his supervisor, and will file a complaint for violation of your Miranda rights. They ask a stupid question because if you answer it, you are considered to have waived your right until you declare it again (exception being identification). 3. Also declare you wish to have a lawyer present during questioning, and 4. you cannot afford a lawyer and will need 1 provided to you. You don't have to have a lawyer present on the roadside or be willing to talk to them over the phone, the officer isn't going to schedule a time in the police department building and make arrangements to provide a lawyer for a minor stop and fishing expedition. If 2 applies, you can also look for opportunities to accuse the officers of harassment - intimidation - retaliation for exercising your rights. Acts tht would otherwise be legal become illegal if performed as an act of harassment - intimidation - retaliation.

@@1SCme This all sounds entirely antagonistic and as if you need the officer to be an idiot in your scenario so you can have them know you're smarter than them. Look at the absurd logic of your proposal. You simultaneously suggest exercising the right to _remain silent_ and suggest _all this extra commentary._ None of that commentary is needed. Just express your intent to remain silent and then commit to that. Any extra commentary will not help you. Literally. What you say _cannot_ help you, as in anything you said to the cop that might have been helpful for you will not be allowed in court if the prosecution has passed the bar more than a day ago. Your words will only be used _against_ you. You're ranting and raving about harassment and violating Miranda rights _only_ helps build a case against you. It does not secure your freedom. If you don't know that, then you are in no place to give advice about how to handle police interactions.

The answer for anything that can't be proven immediately is always no.

Because my job involved driving I didn't d&d. I was drawn into a check point in Cali years ago. The officer asked if I'd been drinking. I told him "no...I'm gonna". He chuckled, asked me not to drink 'till I got home and sent me on my way.

In my country, (New Zealand), they always ask, I always answer "no," but never has it changed the result. If pulled over to be breath tested a simple "no I haven't been drinking," never changes the outcome. A yes gets you the same result.

I am always drinking water. When they asked if i had been drinking, i responded with , 16 oz in the last hour. They were stupefied when their meter showed 0 alcohol. Then they saw the water bottle in the cupholder...

You sound like a moron. Either way they’re very specific and ask “Have you been drinking alcohol”

Such trivial advice, liked by so many, only in America :D This is obvious! Greetings from Europe!

I’m no lawyer and I’ve been saying this same exact thing for years.

I was pulled over leaving a bar after work. He asked me if I had been drinking. I said I had one 12 oz bud light over the course of an 80 minute Keno game. He had "invented" 3 citations he could ticket me for. Instead he said, thank you for being honest, have a nice night. Another time, I told cop, I know how to calculate my bac. I told him I was at a .06. he gave me breathalyzer, I blew a .06, and he sent me on my way. Sometimes honesty works.

You could technically be arrested for that bac if there is any evidence of driving impaired ness (if it affects your ability to drive at all)

The truth. I was on my way home from work one night... Bought a 6 pack . Got pulled over after drinking two ..I tried to avoid but he smelled it and asked me how much. I told the truth. He gave me breathalyzer and I passed . He let me go without a ticket lol

glad you didn't elaborate on your suggestion. otherwise I'd be more informed.

My reply one time when a cop asked me that was " I had a glass of milk before I left the house". He was not amused 🤣

Never ever and I mean ever speak to the police without a lawyer!!

always answer a question with a question; am i obliged to answer that question? you establish lawful jurisdiction by getting his name and that is what you call him; not sir, nor officer; if you want call him constable; if they do detain you and read you your rights (miranda rights; who is miranda? they're not my rights)and they ask if you understand? no i do not stand under you; and then keep your mouth shut;
