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.

I don’t get your logic. You’re basically saying if you do something wrong and get caught by the police you need to rat yourself out.

I’m not saying if you get pulled over just to sit there silently and give em the stank eye. Be polite but it’s not your job to tell the officer what you were doing wrong.

I respect real police work and even wanted to make that my career for awhile. I just don’t like how being a cop has turned into “screwing middle class America out of their paycheck, for doing the same things that they do while off duty.” And that quote came from a directly from a State Troopers mouth.
