Traffic Stop

One of the most unsettling feelings is to look in your rearview mirror and see flashing blue lights. If you are pulled over in a traffic stop, it rarely has a happy ending (especially if you know you were speeding or did something wrong). Here are some tips for making that stop less difficult. Never be rude. Always show the officer respect and courtesy. Try not to argue with the officer even if you think you don't deserve the ticket. Don't make any sudden moves and keep your hands where the officer can see them. Don't get out of the car unless asked. Be careful what you sayﾗit can be held against you. And many times the traffic stop is being videotaped from the officer's patrol car. A traffic stop is stressful and embarrassing, but if you stay calm and do everything the officer says, it will be over in a matter of minutes.

Fast Facts

  • Police officers are not required to read you your Miranda rights at a traffic stop.
  • You don't have to agree to let an officer search your car unless the officer has a warrant or probable cause.
