A criminal defense attorney and a cop explain why you don't talk to the police.
It is simply not safe to get involved in any way with a police situation. |

I have to say, I expected cops in Arizona to be a lot more mean than they are. (Since all the crazy laws in effect) I was pulled over twice this weekend, both times I left with no ticket or even warning at all! |

When I was younger, Several cops in my town were dicks. Others were okay.
Now that I'm older, I've had no bad experiences with the police. Yes, I've been arrested (old tickets that they never sent me a court date notice for). One time during such an arrest a policeman helped me put my groceries away before he took me in. Another, Allowed me to ask a neighbor for bail money. Just recently I ran out of gas, Gave a policeman $10, He bought a gas can and gas for me to get to a gas station (instead of being towed).
Police are pledged to 'Protect & Serve' Sadly too many forget the 'Serve' part, But thankfully some still do. |

the police in hull (in britain in yorkshire) are such d*cks, they really make life misrable for anyone under the age of 21. my ex used to have his car searched regularly because he used to roll his cigs, which gave the polics enough reason to tare his car apart in a drug search. |

I envy you guys in Europe. In my hometown there are way too many cops and a lot of them are total dicks. I've been f*cked with by cops to the point I get the shakes when I see them. |

We are fairly ok here as it is quite rural- but some officers who normally work in a more urban part of the area do get over excited at times. And yes- if they have a reason to suspect you they should be asked what it is. If an officer has never been asked by an innocent person WHY they are being stopped they may assume that anyone who asks has something to hide. But if everyone took the time to ask ( with a smile) then they would clearly understand that they need to give a reason - and would understand that the innocent may well refuse if the reason is not sufficient. |

You're not spoiled, Bob. While I lived in Holland I was stuck in a line-up with my daughter, which I couldn't leave, snd she hadn't eaten for hours and was hungry and thirsty. A cop came over, I explained the situation, he volunteered to help- I gave him 10 Euros, he went to a nearby store, stood in line, bought her something to eat and drink and brought it back. Much appreciated. |

Yeah moefreak, south side near Shawlands, although I'm in Edinburgh for uni.
Maybe we're just spoiled, and have very friendly police here. I dunno. |

Bob, I don't see many people suggesting you let cops arbitrarily search you or your property.
That's exactly what everyone who's said "if you're innocent you have nothing to hide" is suggesting.
You shouldn't, however question their right to search you if THEY believe they have probable cause.
I didn't say that, and neither did the poster. If they have probable cause, then you are being detained or arrested, and they are allowed to search you. If you're not being detained or arrested, you don't have to prove your innocence by letting them search you anyway.
If you want to let them search you when they have no legal grounds to, go for it. It's your choice. But I choose not to, and judging from the comments far too many people are unaware that exercising that option is not an admission of guilt.
If the cops ask you for something outwith their powers, you can say no, for any reason, including no reason at all. |

It's called Europe. Or in the words of auburnjunky, CrakrJak, OldOllie and other such xenophobic right-wingers, "Socialist Hell".
Yeah, after having lived in the states so long, I forget how awesome Europe is. I lived in Aberdeen once and I'd move to most anywhere in Europe for good in a heartbeat. |

Almightybob1, Glasgow? Me too.
I gotta say though, the police are friendlier here than anywhere else I've ever been. I think the situation is very different in a lot of other places. |

@Bob, I don't see many people suggesting you let cops arbitrarily search you or your property. There is nothing wrong with asking why if they request to search you. You shouldn't, however question their right to search you if THEY believe they have probable cause. It doesn't matter at that time if you think they do or not. You also shouldn't get involved in a debate over your rights, since they know them better than you do. And definitely don't get involved in someone else's arrest. That's just stupid. |

@Almightybob
We live in very different worlds. Cops in Texas would not be quite so hospitable. I had the best time when I went to Aberdeen on vacation and it doesn't surprise me that cops that would be that cool.

Agreed.
Let them do their job = minimal hassle.
Show them you know your rights = they show you they know the law. |

Am I the only one who thinks that if an innocent man did any of the stuff they say you have the "right" to do, you'd seem even more guilty...I was always told if you have nothing to hide, let them search and ask you questions, that way you clear your name a bit quicker |
