If I ever have a run in with a police officer I just politely say I would like to speak to my attorney every time they ask a question. Prime example of when to keep your mouth shut. You get pulled over and the cop approaches and asks “do you know why I stopped you?” or “do you know how fast you were going?” I always say something to the effect of “I really have no clue” I’ve been in the car with friends countless times where they immediately answer yes I was speeding and gives the mph or yeah I was on my phone. Just let the officer tell you. There is a little thing called the 5th amendment… Use it!! I know there are some police officers that are members on here and/or may be monitoring the site and it is not my intention to make your job harder. I just feel people should understand the ins and outs of the law before dealing with trained professionals such as yourselves. And always remember kids, kill them with kindness! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/info-on-not-talking-to-cops/245584)._
