In your experience, has someone ever left when the ticket or citation is not written, and then the cop calls in his buddies to pull over the same person later?

I have a tremor, and when I get nervous, my hands tremble quite a bit, and I'm not even doing anything illegal. When this happens, I have found it is best to keep my license and insurance card together in the same pocket in my wallet because it requires less time for me to dig around and for the police to notice my hands shaking. At night, turn on your interior dome lights. Do not search for your license, registration, and insurance until the cop is at your door and asks you to do so. But do you recommend that also turning off your car and keeping your hands on the steering wheel until the officer asks for your stuff?

I've seen cops arrest someone for the traffic violation so that they could search the car. Is this valid if the decision is made in response to a refusal? Does it matter in court if the arrest was retaliation for not giving up your rights?

Young man just recently got pulled in his vehicle and searched. Officers found .8 oz pot. Issued him two citations post-dated for two months ahead just in case he might have information they would be interested in. What's with that?

In your video, during one stop, you said you smelled pot in the car, but didn't say anything and let the man sign the ticket before asking for consent to search. You said the man would have been free to leave after signing the ticket. Would you really let him get away after you smelled weed in the vehicle? Wouldn't you have found another reason to stop him again?

I drove by a large sign on I-70 the other day that said, “Narcotics checkpoint ahead. Be prepared to stop. Narcotic dogs in use.” These signs were just before the exit ramp, but there was no road block ahead. Do you think they had their dog and were stopping all cars that took the exit ramp?

Are there specific questions one should ask during a traffic stop that might indicate when one is free to drive off without reprisal or breaking the law? Is “Am I free to go officer?” a sufficient question? Should any questions not be responded to if you would be forced to lie?

Whether a citation was issued or not, if they ask for permission to search, is it even possible to make a "friendly" exit before he asks for further questions about having any drugs? Seems to me it would be difficult and insulting to an officer if one knew they were actually free to simply drive away without answering, but is this what you were implying? And, wouldn't he just tend to make another stop if one did so, or notify the boys down the road to watch for you?

How is one to know when they are "free to go?" What are my rights during a traffic stop? Isn't this a very delicate issue?

You stated something to the effect that an officer prefers to finish the citation/warning section, and only THEN to ask for permission to search or ask further questions to better protect his rights in court somehow – which you suggested complying with any search request since a refusal is suspicion anyway. Was that right?

What do you think about the new April 2009 Supreme Court ruling on traffic stop searches?

I was wondering how well some of these tricks will work in Canada. Can someone tell me about the laws we have there?

I just bought a newer vehicle that is really nice for my family. It is totally legit. I have the bill of sale and my insurance, and the salesman even put my name on the tag. It is visible but could be an alert if they don't see one in its regular spot. I am taking someone their goods and am wondering if I am at risk for being pulled over simply because I have this temporary tag?

I read somewhere that drug interdiction units usually work from 6 a.m. – 11 p.m.. Is this true? When would be the best time to travel across state lines if you had to move a few pounds?

Are there better ways to handle a traffic stop if one is transporting contraband to decrease the odds at being searched? Even if one is not carrying anything illegal, can one qualify the permission with a condition? In other words, what if one gave the cop permission to search as long as he does not mess up the person’s belongings?
