First Contact: Traffic Stops and Your Rights

The key to protecting your rights as much as possible at a traffic stop are: Don’t answer questions other than name, and to provide license, insurance, and registration. Ask for an attorney if the officer continues to ask other questions. Decline any search without a warrant. Ask why you were stopped. Otherwise, as always, REMAIN SILENT.
