I have been pulled over soooo many times for talking on my cell, and I have only got a ticket once. All the other times I was honest and open and they said to go on and have a good day. If I was excersiing my 5th, they would either think I have something to hide or that I am being a know-it-all smart ass. Cops can make your life a living hell but you have to give them a reason to. IMO just be polite and honest. If your doing something wrong then expect to get in trouble. Simple as that.

From what I’ve heard technicaly cops arent allowed to pull you over for just a cell phone… there has to be something else along with it.

Maybe I misheard.

And for traffic infrations ehh id say just be honest like you said… depends on the cop and how good of a reader you are when it comes to people.

Sometimes you can just tell not from their tone buy how a cop carrys himself if hes goign to give you a ticket or not regardless of anything you tell him.

But for something serious I agree with everything he said
