The Question Asked At Every Traffic Stop
It’s true, and it’s not just in the movies either. The question is asked all the time by police who pull over a car. But why do they always ask…
Reason 1: To Establish a Conversation
One of the first, and perhaps most obvious reasons that police officers ask the question is to begin the conversation.
Reason 2: To Evaluate Your Personality
Police officers are constantly evaluating scene safety, and asking the question, helps them evaluate your character.
Reason 3: To Collect Evidence
Although traffic laws are different than criminal offenses. Officers may find that you admit to crimes or other offenses they weren’t aware of.
So What is the Best Response?
Whether you were using a cellphone while driving or simply speeding, you want to know how to respond to the police officer when you are asked.
Is the Approach Outdated?
According to some police officers, starting out a stop by asking “do you know why I pulled you over?” is not the best technique.
The Bottom Line
It’s true, not all traffic stops are the same, but preparation for any situation is key.
