Lets say you get pulled over. The officer tells you to get out of your vehicle and get in theirs. You could say, "I prefer to stay in my own vehicle," and not get out.
 
That's not the only thing you could say.

Personally, I'd recommend saying something along the lines of "OK, but I'd like to take it for a test driver first."
 
Can I see insurance and registration pls?

Well, I'd preface your statement with this question:

"Am I under arrest officer?" If the answer is no, then you can say "Well in that case, I prefer to remain in my vehicle."

If he states he would like you to exit so he can search your vehicle, simply state that you do not agree to a search of your vehicle.

Different jurisdictions have different rules as to whether you can be made to exit a vehicle or not, so I'd check with your State on that. If you are required, then get out and lock your car. They cannot search it without probable cause.

NOTE: If you ARE being placed under arrest (for example due to drinking, smoking pot, or doing some other drug and it's fairly obvious [smells, or weed/pipe/pills/bottle in plain view]) then keep your mouth shut, follow the officers instructions, and stay quiet until you can contact an attorney.

On LivePD last night I saw a woman who refused to exit her car get dragged out by 2 PO's...
 
Never argue with a man who has a gun
 
Eh, no, but you can get in mine if you'd like. Just put those tools in the back, there. No, not there. I'm fussy about my tools. Put them in the bed back there, under the cover, and arrange them alphabetically so that I can find them later. And wipe your feet. You don't smoke, do you? Yes, that's a dog. He doesn't bite. Much. If you have a fire arm, I'd suggest you place it in your vehicle before you get in mine. The dog doesn't like 'em unless I'm the one with 'em. If you happen to have a newish Beretta 92, I'll happily hang on to it for you so the dog doesn't get worked up. Now, where were we? Yeah. I'm not going to get in your vehicle, but you can get in mine. I don't like your vehicle. Too many lights and stuff for me. I could have a seizure, or something. Did I tell you I'm an epileptic? Yeah. I'm not. That's probably why I didn't tell you that, but it is a fact that flashing lights can precipitate a seizure in some people. I won't know if I'm "some people" until it happens, and by then it's too late...

Damn.

You should be writing comedic screenplays! That was pretty good, I thought. Especially, the epileptic stuff.
 
Here and in England it is part of their procedure. Immediately... get in the back of their car if they want. Cant say no. But then again cops are not roid raging assholes out to screw people over here either.

As I don't live in England or New Zealand I don't care how things are done there, what Im concerned with is how things are done in the USA.

Greetings, Hawkeye10. :2wave:

Of course, you have Freedom of Speech in this Country. But WHY would you do that? :eek:

And to run my own mind, dont forget that, which of course makes me extremely radical in some crowds these days.

I have noticed that my answer here is rarely voiced, folks tend to think in black and white now...either conform to the demand or refuse.....but there are other options.





P.S.: I hope that your gardens and everything else are in Primo shape...we have not talked in awhile....

I've interacted with police in the UK and in Georgia.

Without doubt British police are better. They're more professional and more courteous.

US police behave like homicidal maniacs. They believe they are a law unto themselves...no British police officer would dare to get out of a speeding ticket by flashing his police ID (warrant card).


Here in the USA a police officer if basically above the law unless he/she has the mis-fortune to be caught on camera.

I made the mistake of grousing about how our weather has been so rainy and cold the past few years....I should have just kept quiet because the universe apparently heard me , and starting in the latter days of June, we had 90+ temperatures almost daily. This is NE Ohio, for heaven's sake, and even the "oldtimers" say that they cannot recall when we ever had days on end with temps in the high 80s, let alone the 90s, in June! (We've gotten snow at the end of May in recent years!)

Since the 4th of July, I have actually gotten sunburned without going to Florida! :lamo Saved some money, but the tradeoff means it's too hot to work in the garden until late afternoon. The WX channel keeps promising rain, but we've only had a couple of days in the past two weeks when it showered at my house, and only for about 10 minutes and then it was done - big deal... NOT! I have the garden heavily mulched, and it's doing well so far, but this is a Summer I won't forget weatherwise - or otherwise - with all the political games being played in DC! :thumbdown:

Washington turned out to be even more rotted out then even I have been claiming, this being the same me that has long been labeled a chicken little.

We are likely to go mid April to first of Sep with no rain that matters, the worst summer dry spell ever I think, this being maybe the third time in ten years that we have had a new worst.

Global warming they say.

A lot of the trees have had about enough over the years, we are going to be just like California with dead trees I think.

How will they make me? Lets say I just stand there and refuse to get in their vehicle.
