What have you learned about the law that you think will help others?


For example:

"take your t-shirt off in domestic cases for COPS"

"compliment the officer's mustache if he ever catches up with you"

"never talk, always get a lawyer"

"pot is only a misdemeanor in Ann Arbor"

"if they use the law, use it back"

"I thought they couldn't . . . but they can"

"they can't . . . and you have the right . . ."

"most get confused and believe this, but did you know . . ."

"this once happened to me . . ."

"the law says this, but they are trained to trick you . . ."

"this is what they are thinking . . ."

"I think maybe possibly . . ."

"on tv and movies . . ."

"the constitution . . ."

etc.

If you get pulled over, just keep your hands on the wheel and wait until the officer asks for your papers. Apparently it makes them REALLY uncomfortable if they see you rummaging in your glovebox and makes them wonder if you're hiding something in a hurry.

Don't consent to searches without a warrant, even if the officer asks.

Most laws boil down to an excuse for some people to give orders and make threats that would be impermissible if they were just among friends, family, or coworkers. Just keep that in mind whenever you meet anyone with a uniform, badge, or official title.
