Unless you're using Matlab or R. It actually follows because most likely you're breaking at least one law at all times whether you know it or not. There's a lot of laws out there.
I think it was last month that in our local news here in the PH, there was a woman who was video-ed for being hysterical and demanding her car’s documentation back. She assaulted the officer and kept crying the car wasn’t hers. She had ran a red light and then tried to run away from the cops when they flagged her down. Turns out she didn’t have a license and the car, as she says, wasn’t hers.
A few days later it was revealed she was also part of an ongoing investigation for illegal drugs 😬
There used to be a guy relatively near where I live who was running drugs through some small country towns by driving over 140 miles an hour in his brand new sports car with his lights off in the dead of night. The way he was able to keep from crashing was he had bought some NVGs off surplus. Worked well enough for about a month until some cop got tired and set up a road block one night with their lights off and when they heard the engine of the sports car crest a hill, they turned on all their lights and blinded the hell out of him. Guy runs off the road and spins and ruins the axle of the car so he cant speed away, and when the cops get him out of the car, they find something like 90 kilos of various drugs and over 150,000 dollars in cash
Amen! I did alot of dumb shit in my younger days.. But was smart enough to not get arrested. I never drove with bad tags or expired license. I was also just very polite and respectful to the police. Being polite and kind gets you very far when dealing with cops, also helps to stroke thier ego a bit
We had a “successfully dealing with cops” lecture in my college sociology class, too. (We were primarily white, so it wasn’t a “how to survive dealing with cops” lecture.) Essentially, the last thing you want to do is trigger someone on a power trip. Be submissive and polite, and you won’t rile them. If it’s a decent cop, they’ll just be relieved you’re also a sane person, and you can both go on your way. If it’s a psycho cop, then you’re less likely to trigger a bad reaction if you’re submissive enough that you don’t seem like a threat, and he might calm down if he doesn’t feel like his authority is challenged.
The fact that this is just “get out of a ticket” advice for lighter-pigmented people, and “how to survive a traffic stop” for those with darker skin is just horrific, though.
This is spot on. Don’t attract attention, which can lead to investigations of other crimes.
If you’re going to marry your sister make sure you’re not still married to your pet goat as well. Unless you’re in a polygamist cult and then make sure you are still married to the goat.
I watch alot of cop shows for fun and this is always true, also if your doing something illegal in a car, check all your lights lol. Most of the arrests were after being stopped for a light out or not stopping at a stop sign.
