    Then you don’t answer questions, but ask, “Am I being detained?”
    Next, “Am I being arrested?”
    Next “I need to talk to my lawyer”
    Next “Why am i being detained/arrested?”
    Next “Am I free to leave?”
    Next “Do you have a warrant?”


    They represent the law, they’re not THE law, as many think of themselves.
    They don’t like me…


    I’m not talking about reason for stop like you are guilty for speeding but just some one wanting to check you for an obvious lie like that tire bulge.

    A lot of places have local cops that are certified to inspect. I know Kansas has quite a few running around because they did a news story about how local departments could now help the short staffed highway patrol by doing commercial vehicle inspections.

    Lol i know the one! I HATE that scale and area. Only one worse is the northen davenport scale. Every single time i take the north scale i get a level 1. I always use the south one because of it.
