You see, when a cop asks you “Do you know why I pulled you over?” he or she is lying to you. They don’t care if you know why you are receiving a traffic ticket, nor are they there to lecture you. Police officers are trained to interrogate perpetrators by engaging them in conversation. They hope to obtain a confession which will make convicting you easier, and they also hope to ensnare you into a traffic offense or a crime that they themselves did not see you commit.

When a cop pulls you over and asks you “Do you know why I pulled you over?” many think that it’s only polite to respond.

What police officers would really say if they were being honest is “please confess to me that you just committed the crime that I witnessed and a new one that I did not”. Not responding will actually raise the level of respect the officer has to you.

So the next time a New York State Trooper asks you “Do you know why I pulled you over?” remember that the cop is not there to help you, and be proud of your 5th amendment right to remain silent, and don’t talk to cops.

Most people have no idea why lawyers tell them this, and they think “if I am innocent then what is the problem with me talking to the police”? They think their lawyer thinks that they are a crook and that is way they are telling my don’t talk to cops. The truth of the matter is that 98 percent of lawyers give the rest of us a bad name.  

Here are 2 links of videos which explain why you should never talk to the police.

I posted these videos on my blogs and social sites a number of time now, however as time goes on, I need to repost them so I can have where to refer my clients to. After feeling like a broken tape recorder for long enough, (which is a common problem of any lawyer) I gave in and embeded the videos on my attorney website, and my traffic ticket website.
