Northside Stop:
Officer - How you doing today?
Driver - Okay...what did I do?
Officer - Well you didnt use your turn signal back there and kinda cut that other car off...does your turn signal work?
Driver - Oh yes, I must have forgot or wasnt paying attention...and I didnt see that car?
Officer - Okay well Im going to write you a warning ticket for the turn signal and try to pay more attention next time so we dont have an accident.
Driver - Okay officer, thank you.
Officer - Okay, your free to go have a good day.
Eastside Stop:
Officer - How you doing today?
Driver - What the fuck you pull me over for...you motherfuckers are always harrassing a motherfucker.
Officer - Well apparently either your turn signal doesnt work or you dont know how to use it because you cut over in front of that car without signaling.
Driver - Oh what the fuck ever man...its just any excuse for you isnt it...any reason to pull over a motherfucker and thats it right?
Officer - Nope just violations of the vehicle code not excuses...but Ill prove that to you cause Im going to write down the sections of the vehicle code here on your tickets...I also see your not wearing your seatbelt either...it would sure break my heart if you got into an accident and something happened because you didnt have that on...Ill have to give you a ticket for that too to remind you about saftey.
Driver - Do what ever the fuck you want cause your just gonna do it anyway.
Officer -(after tickets are issued) you are free to go... watch for traffic when you pull away.
Driver - I know how to drive I dont have to watch for traffic I have to watch for you motherfuckers.
Officer - Okay then...use that turn signal when you pull away so you dont get another ticket.
Driver - Fuck you
Same violations but different examples how how to deal with different people.
Both of these people are fucking idiots, one being ruder than the other. There are only a few things you should ever say to an officer whether it is for a traffic violation or genocide investigation.
1. Hello, officer.
2. Yes, sir, I have my identification
3. Am I free to go, officer?
4. Goodbye, officer. Thank you.
There is nothing else. People seem to think that the cop's job is negotiate with him. No, he is to citate, detain, and arrest people. Occasionally, they write a police report so the insurance company will believe your side of the story. THAT IS IT.
How to handle a traffic stop, Trendon style.
1a. Pull over in a way the cop won't get killed, turn on your dome light, shut off the engine, roll your window down (see 1b), put your hands on top of the steering wheel and turn your palms upward. They don't want to die and you could be a maniac. I had one cocksucking faggot cop come over and immediately say, "I see you've done this before." Fuck him.
1b. Roll your window down only a crack; just enough to speak with him and hand him your particulars. Otherwise, he WILL poke his head in and start looking around. Contraband is only contraband if he sees it and you just invited him into your car if you leave the window open. More than like, he will ask for you to lower the window further and immediately comply. Say nothing.
2a. As soon as he is done looking things over, immediately ask why you are being pulled over. DO NOT LET HIM START THE CONVERSATION. These guys are trained to play trap games where they lead the conversation. Ask if you are free to go. He won't answer you, instead choosing to gather information (THEIR FUCKING JOB!) by asking some form of "do you know why..." or "I pulled you over because..." Do not answer.
2b. SAY NOTHING. "I don't know" is a completely valid answer. Asking HIM a question is valid. Staring blankly at the officer is also OK ... this isn't your mom or the judge, you can NOT answer.
2c. Why? Remember the Miranda Right? "everything you say can and will be used AGAINST you" Against you. Not for you. That's not the cop's job. If you try and bring the cop on the stand to help you, the prosecutor will immediately stand up in his shitty suit and say, "Objection, heresay." And it is.
3. The cop has made up his mind on whether or not he is ticketing you. Let him decide on his own, don't help him. Depositions include everything you say and do. Do and say as little as possible. Thank him for his time and move on.
4. If he asks you to step out of the vehicle, take the keys out of the ignition, roll up the window, open the door, lock the door, and close the door. He will quiz you on this. Say it is force of habit. If you leave the door open, it is another invite. IMMEDIATELY ask (politely) if you are free to go, officer.
5. the key to dealing with cops is to either ask them a question before they can at every turn. Do it politely. If you let them get rolling, you will start answering questions with no right answers.
6. Take your ticket, if applicable and go to court. Know that you have given yourself the best possible chance in court because you didn't say anything that can be used against you. Also, by not saying ANYTHING, you reduced the chance you will get implicated in some nearby crime that you didn't commit. "Where are you going/ coming from?" is the worst fucking question on earth. You can implicate yourself for a crime you didn't commit just because you were near it. If the cops don't have any leads, you become the main suspect ... all for a fucking taillight being out.
Listen to Trendon.
