Cops can ask questions but citizens aren’t required to answer. Citizens choosing to not answer questions is Constitutionally protected and can not be deemed suspicious.
@@writingonthewalls9052 Yes it is entirely true. You need to read the constitution. It is clear, exact and irrevocable. It cannot be bent to an officers will, perception or mood
@@Cometcast12 It’s not entirely true no, it’s not. You need to study case law and see how it applies to the constitution. Depending on the scenario in which you find yourself in not answering questions carries with it consequences. For example, if you get pulled over without identification and you refuse to identify yourself under the pretense of “I don’t have to answer questions “ you’re now obstructing official business which is an offense that you can be lawfully arrested for. And that’s just one example. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
@@writingonthewalls9052 In this example, yes that’s true. Driving is a privilege, not a right. In this case you are granted a privilege by the government to operate a vehicle. This is why you have to prove who you are, because driving is being granted to you as an acquired privilege for which individually you must be able to prove, which includes showing your registration and insurance which comes with that responsibility. The passenger riding next to the driver however, who is not operating a vehicle, he does not have say who he is, or provide ID, because it is irrelevant to the crime of the traffic stop pertaining to only the driver. With the exception of operating dangerous, licensing required machinery such as cars, guns, etc. with the exception of those things you have a right to privacy and to be left alone. As the driver, AFTER you provide proof of your privilege to drive, you do not have to answer any questions. It’s the 4th amendment. Your “it depends” logic, does not supersede the constitution. That’s not for you to have jurisdiction over. All citizens are required to obey the constitution. The only people who have jurisdiction over the “it depends” logic you’re talking about, is for judges only. Cops do not have that jurisdiction. It is not for a cop to decide. All citizens including cops must uphold constitutional rights at all times. That “it depends” does not apply.
@@Cometcast12 I’m not reading all of that. Your first sentence admitted that I am correct. That’s all I need. Not talking to police is not always an option. Do you always have to talk to them? No. Not always. But sometimes you do. So saying you do not have to talk to police is not *entirely* true like I said. That’s my ultimate point that you’ve already agreed with and I rest my case, have a good day.
Remember you do not have to answer any questions besides documentation. After that you remain silent. If arrested or detained make it clear your invoking your 5th amendment and request a lawyer as soon as possible and remain silent. Remember you do not have to answer any of there questions regardless
Really besides traffic enforcement the average person doenst come into direct contact witn law enforcement often. Unless they’re a witness or victim of a crime. Most the people law enforcement deals with are dirt bags
Yes. But you don’t have to answer where are you going. Is there anything illegal. Etc. You can get in trouble for lying and you can get in trouble for telling the truth.
Definitely, but you should always verbally invoke your rights. It gives you a better legal standing in court. For example, "Officer, I'm invoking my right 5th to remain silent. I don't answer any questions" or "Officer, I don't consent to any searches or seizures of my person or property".
You are allowed to ASK anything you like, (where are you coming from, do you know how fast you were going, etc.)l Detainee is NOT obligated to answer. Nor are your passengers. If you are stopped, rule #1 is STFU. Strictly follow rule#1, you don't need any other rules.

The problem with his lecture on this topic is that he gets a-lot right but also gets things wrong. It is true that Cops can stop a vehicle if they have RAS that a MV infraction or crime has or is being committed by either the driver or passenger of the vehicle. It is also true that they can ask simple questions e.g. where are you coming from or heading to, without violating the 4th Amendment but SCOTUS has held that the driver or passenger is not required to answer these questions nor is the passenger required to provide physical or verbal identification if the stop is justified by a MV violation. SCOTUS also ruled that non-compliance or refusal to answer questions does not give rise to RAS to extend a traffic stop beyond the time required to deal with the original reason justifying the stop. If the questions do not relate to giving the ticket or warning extending a detention to force the driver or passenger to answer the questions is unreasonable and unlawfully extends the detention and violates the 4th Amendment of US Constitution and SCOTUS plus lower federal courts have held that these cases constitute fishing for RAS. A legally valid stop can become invalid, unlawful and violate the US Constitution if the delay is unjustified by RAS and may lead to civil liability in a federal lawsuit.
@@HolyshititsGfrmtheland It absolutely does not. Saying “I don’t answer questions “ doesn’t automatically absolve you from the consequences of your actions. You can say “I don’t answer questions” all you want lol. Nobody cares. The investigation is still going to continue and you will still receive the repercussions for your decisions. Like I said, “I don’t answer questions “ doesn’t work the way you think it does.
@@HolyshititsGfrmtheland for example I stop you for speeding and while I’m getting your information I smell marijuana. I ask you if there’s anything illegal in the car. Maybe I’m asking just to see if you’re gonna be a dick. And you say “I don’t answer questions”. Okay. Sweet. Im still searching the car. Whatever contraband I find in there is still admissible in court. You’re still going to jail. The charges against are still going to be filed. So who cares if you don’t answer questions. I definitely don’t. Please be silent. I actually prefer it that way so now I don’t have to hear you make up excuses.
If the stop was proven to be pretextual and the patdown illegal, like searching for contraband not weapons. Then your stop and any evidence found will be suppressed.
You can do a lot of things but you can't demand almost anything unless you wanna bet your qualified immunity on it. THIS DUDE IS SO FULL OF CRAP, I hope he gets MANY MANY cops sued.
You can ask anything you want. I do not answer questions, engage in small talk, or speak other than to say; "I do not answer questions or talk to police without a lawyer present, I do not consent to any searches or seizures. Am I being detained?"
I find it interesting that one of the questions always led with is to ask the citizen if they'd like to self incriminate (Do you know why I stopped you?) In the state of California it is now no longer permitted to ask for a potential self-incrimination because so many motorist *think* this is an innocuous question and unwittingly admit to things that are admissible in court.
You can stay silent it's your right, also tell them loud and clear you do not consent to a search and am I free to go. If they say no, your being detained, stay silent and request a lawyer.
Never speak to the police after you hand them your documents. They have absolutely no right to know your destination. Politely tell them “ I respect you officer and am not trying to be rude but I would prefer to invoke my right to remain silent without an attorney present and be on my way”. Do not start answering questions after invoking your rights.
I always reason that if you are doing nothing wrong you should comply with everything ~ makes life a lot easier and you will be on your way both parties on good spirits ~ end of ……
You invoke your fifth amendment right to remain solemn and you ask do they have reasonable suspicion of what you were stopped for you can refuse to be searched until they have a warrant
lol yes, but we also have the 5th amendment, wich requires you to STOP asking questions thus you now violate my rights and you lose qualified immunity and will be sued …YOU FORGOT THAT PART
If he looks scary leave him alone, that's what cops do, they should be audited for cowardice and harassing people just to fill out their time card. The cops refuse to enforce traffic laws, what happened?
No all he or she can do is write me a ticket and send me on my way and he or she can't unnecessarily extend the stop because I don't want to answer their bullshit questions. Where I'm going and where I have been is none of your business
Remaining silent changes everything. The cop can't ask a single question when you income the 5th because it is a violation of civil rights to continue to question at that point. The only smooth brain is the idiot cop who spends his days trying to find ways around the Constitution to satisfy his addiction to ID and violence.
Funny that you did not mention that refusal to answer the questions is NOT RAS to justify escalation or extending detainment. Tragic that you are not telling them not to fish for a reason to escalate. You and your "instructions" are the problem. How about not teaching cops that citizens are targets, rather, that they are citizens to be respected.
@@mikhaelis yes he absolutely can ask. You just do not have to answer if it is outside of required parameters IE license registration and insurance (assuming nothing else of a criminal nature occurs) He can ask whatever he wants because he has freedom of speech just like you do. There is no legal doctrine saying he cannot ask. He can ask.
@@writingonthewalls9052 He absolutely can not ask anything once you invoke the 5th. You must be a cop. Because you have NO idea of what the law really says. Cops don't have freedom of speech when they're on the job.
@@writingonthewalls9052 I think the problem here is that once you get to that point, and the person doesn't want to answer any questions, Police officers aren't just going to let it go lol. We all know that. They're going to look for any way they can to hem this person up. So by invoking their 5th amendment right, now the police officer is targeting that person. That's a problem. Telling police officer that you don't want to discuss your day or where you're going or any of that, isn't suspicion of guilt. If someone is speeding, then give him their ticket and let them get back to their life.
This is incorrect. Your rights apply all the time. Not just in court. If we were to follow your logic, then you can only be forced not to incriminate yourself in court? Not during the gathering evidence phase of an investigation? If that was true then the right to remain silent is irrelevant. You have no obligation to answer any questions outside of providing required documentation for operating a motor vehicle on a public road.
No, any question that could lead to being self incriminating is protected. Every question he brought could be used to self incriminate yourself, for all you know you violated an obscure law you didn't even know about.
