It can be a scary and overwhelming experience when you’re stopped by the police. You may be wondering what you can and can’t do. You could inadvertently incriminate yourself or make matters worse by being rude or angry toward the officer, which could result in criminal charges. There are two important things to keep in mind if you’re pulled over including:
- Be Polite. The officer could decide to charge you with one or more offenses due to your attitude.
- Know Your Rights. Don’t over-share your situation or make excuses. You don’t have to say anything, and you can refuse a search of your vehicle until you’ve had the chance to speak with one of our lawyers.
