How about a story or two?
That about sums it up. I was really on my way to a non emergency call and that was shortest route.
A few months ago we had a guy, mid 60's-ish, driving a truck with his dog as the passenger and the man had no pants. Not on his person or in the vehicle, just cruising around in his tighty-not-so-whiteys, drunk as a monkey.
So no words at all? Is there a balance between being a rude jerk and not playing twenty questions?
As the officer asks the first question do you reply "I prefer not to answer any questions sir" or do you just sit there mute with your license and registration in your hand?
Good advice, but a couple questions.Silly marketing gimmick.
Got to ask, why? Was this in Boston T. Party book or something?
If you don't roll down your window, don't ya think the cops will just have you step out of your little turtle shell?
Advice? Ok, it's even free:
1. Don't drink and drive. Call a cab. Cabs are a lot less money than lawyers.
2. Don't pull through roadblocks. By Indiana Supreme Court decision roadblocks must have a turn around. So, turnaround and don't play cop games.
3. If they tell you to stop, stop.
4. Don't talk. Don't say anything. Shut your baconhole. Don't play 20 questions or any cop game. All their games involve you talking, don't.
5. You have to get out of the car if they tell you to. These bs, cutesy-pie marketing tricks are feckless (for you).
Learn the traffic code, obey the traffic code (remember, it's not about you, we all chipped in), keep your vehicle clean inside and outside, don't dress like the criminal class, stop when the cops tell you to, and, above all, be quiet.
Is a u-turn anywhere that it's not specifically restricted o.k.?You can't be pulled over for just avoiding a checkpoint. However you can if you fail to signal when you do. There are chase cars around the checkpoint looking for such things.
Readjusting my side mirror to reflect back at the officer actually facilitated me spending the night in Marion county lock up.Nah, part of their game. But I've dreamed about shining my little ZebraLight right back at 'em. Never had the guts to try it. Figured it would end end with me screaming, DON'T TASE ME BRO!

I prefer to think if you NEED to avoid a checkpoint, you aren't doing it right!

Maybe we just don't like random searches.
I also prefer not to have my house randomly searched, though I'm sure that would help the police solve crimes (if they could search random houses, not just mine).
If an officer suspects me for some reason, that's different.
He follows me and pulls me over, says I'm weaving or crossed the line, or something, sure fine.

They always use the "weaving", or "you crossed the center line" crap. Coming home one night/morning at 2:30am I got pulled over like that. Rural, 2 lane hiway, just me and my 3 legged dog. There was no one around. I notice headlights behind me, but very far away. The rate of closure is quite significant, so I figured it was a cop. I had not met anyone on the road and there really wasn't any place for him to be sitting. As he got closer, I notice it was crown Vic headlights, and as we all know, if you see crown Vic headlights after dark, it's a cop. Anyone else driving one is in bed by dark.
He gets close, rides my ass for a mile or two as I hold it right on 55 and watch him. Then he pulls me over. 20 questions, where are you going, where have you been, have you been drinking (I have not drank in close to 20 years), then he says I was weaving....... Then he said, "well, it's a little windy tonight, maybe that's why you were weaving". Yea, whatever. Driving around at 2:30am will get you folowed or pulled over nearly every time around here. He handed my stuff back to me and I went home.
All they really need to pull you over, is the ability to make something up.
