[QUOTE="TBItoy, post: 520579, member: 1384"] I had a local deputy walk straight into my house through the garage, smoking a cigar (I don't allow smoking in my house). My neighbor across the field/woods behind my house saw headlights from a couple of us driving rock crawlers on MY property and called the cops, because he thought someone was raising hell in the hay field up on the ridge between my house and his. The cops came to his house first, then walked across the woods to mine (a couple hundred yards) I was irritated but remained calm, assured him that the lights my neighbor saw was just from my truck, and asked him to leave. That's when he went full asshole and threatened to "toss my house". Luckily 2 more officers showed up in my driveway about the same time and told him he needed to leave. The other cops were fine and didn't violate any of my civil rights. So I guess my experience of 33% ratio of asshole to non asshole isn't valid? :dunno: The few spending tickets/traffic stops I've got went fine because I was extremely polite and provided the required by law documents (liscense, registration, insurance) BUT none of this really has anything to do with the video john posted. There are very valid reasons to NOT answer questions from the police, especially when being "interviewed". You are not required to give statements to police, and in an unfortunate situation, your statement might get misconstrued, misused, misinterpreted, misrepresented, or somehow otherwise used against you by the State (DA) or a civil attorney to find you guilty of something that you didn't do. Just because you shouldn't give a statement to police doesn't mean you don't respect them, or that you feel that they are out to get you. It is your RIGHT to not tell the police ANYTHING that could ever help convict you. [/QUOTE]
