When you get pulled over you have certain rights. It is important to always treat the law enforcement officer with politeness and respect. Wait until they ask for your license, registration and insurance before getting them. Do not incriminate yourself. If they ask you why you are being pulled over, be polite, but ask them to explain. You do not have to answer questions. You can use your right to remain silent. If you choose to exercise this right, tell the police officer that you are using your right to remain silent. You do not have to consent to a search. Tell the officer that you do not consent to a search. If the officer decides he/she has probable cause to conduct and arrest, a body search, or a search of the car, do not resist. Instead tell the officer that you wish to speak to an attorney. If the officer gives you permission to leave the stop, pull away carefully.
