[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Stupid cop questions during a traffic stop (Page 2 of 3)

You don't have to answer any questions a cop asks you.

Always keep a voice recorder with you and record the entire conversation.

I'd be willing to bet that the O.P is exactly the type of person that is clocked going 75 mph in a 55 mph zone and then when the cop asks "do you know how fast you were going?" the OP says "about 60" and can't figure why the cop would ask a stupid question like that when the cop obviously knows how fast he was going.

Does someone need to explain this question and answer scenario as well? Or the fact that you admitted (on mic more than likely) to VBSL because you KNEW you were speeding but were trying to convince the cop that you were not going quite as fast as you really were.

It's not that hard dude, seriously.

Yes, the cop ran the plate and had the info. Yes, you provided him with an I.D. Both of which mean exactly SHIT to the cop. No, I don't care to explain any further why they don't mean anything.

Why do hospitals always want to stick shit in me and feel all over me if I come in for a headache? Why is that? Guess what, I'm not a Dr. or a nurse so I just go ahead and ASSUME you have a clue as to what the hell you are doing and the reasons for doing it. I don't discharge from the hospital with my knickers all twisted and post on a public forum that you guys are idiots for giving me an I.V for a headache or feeling on my stomach when it was my head that was hurting.

You didn't actually question anything after your thread title, it was less asking and more "COPS ARE IDIOTS"

This.

You might be surprised how many folks provide a little more suspicious behavior when their answer to a simple question like that is inconsistent, and how often it's led to arrests for a lot more than the original stop.

Okay, of all the dumb shit he could have asked, if the COUNTY is on the valid LICENSE PLATE and I have a valid DRIVER LICENSE, was I gonna be an imposter who stole some guy's vehicle, happens to look like him, and is faking his way to the hospital in his scrubs? I mean, seriously.......

And no, it's not cop-bashing. I freely admitted I'm guilty as charged. If you're gonna ask probing questions at least make them something that make sense.

Oh, I guess if I wanted to be a dick I could have refused to answer, right? I mean I don't HAVE to, correct?

Besides cracking the egg, your scrubs may mean a lot to you and assume them to me as well, but to be honest, a lot of professions wear them now vets and their techs, dentist, orthodontist ect. Now that being said I have gotten fresh stolens in all kinds of uniforms I popped a security guard in uniform leaving a school he worked for he had two warrants for agg. sexual assault of child and was working for a elementary. I also checked by with a traffic unit that had stopped an ambulance running lights so I ask him what was up because I knew him, and this was out of character for him turns out he had seen the ambulance 3 times in five minutes last time 85 mph in 30 mph and every time it was running lights, turns out the mechanic working on it was having fun with no personal on board, so before assuming that those questions are just a inconvenience we a have had experiences that make a suspicious. Next thing is the talk tells us a lot have you been drinking are you unusually nervous. By the way I have had drunk medic working the box show up to my scene before he was having to balance off of cars and the box, so I do not take anything for granted, so those questions allow me to better determine the lay of the land so to speak.

Yeah - it's me that has the hurt feelings. You thought you were going to have a moderately amusing post and get a few jabs in and the whole thing backfired becasue half of GD just pointed out how fucking ridiculous it is that you can't figure out why a cop would ask you a very basic question during the traffic stop.

Would his "junior detective" skills be ok with you if he said "have you killed anyone lately" or "have any drugs in your trunk".

Your post is a failure on your part. Not to worry, with a little common sense you should be able to redeem yourself in no time.

BTW - if you are a nurse or a doctor, thank you for helping people that need it. (See how fucking easy that was)

Bottom line? To someone who is not a scum meth-head or other criminal I found the question a bit over the top, that's all. Maybe if a little respect (not that he wasn't polite mind you) was shown by some LEO's and their hardened view of society put aside when appropriate then the rift out there might close a bit.

Oh, and thank you for facing society's idiots. Really.

Those are baseline questions. They serve as a baseline to determine how someone reacts to a question, and how they answer it. Like in a polygraph, they ask things like, is your name so and so? Well yes, you know who I am, you are polygraphing me. It is simply done as a way for someone to get an answer to a non-threatening (supposedly) question and see how they respond. Nothing more, nothing less.

In the course of your duties do you think you've ever asked a patient a question they found to be nonsensical or unnecessary?

Have you ever asked a patient a question in order to elicit a response that could help you reach a conclusion or gain insight into their condition?

And why is that? He didn't read this post. I answered in a very non-chalant manner. In fact, Sherlock asked me if I'd been in the military given a couple of stickers I had, and asked if I worked at the hospital. I replied in the affirmative with "sir" in all my answers. Don't pre-suppose things. Oh, maybe you're a cop?

Probably this gave a hint:

Keep in mind the situation as I describe it–

Given that, and the fact that you describe it in a pretty derogatory way, people might assume you act in real life like you are acting here.

And how many folks who are up to no good change their story halfway through or "forget" basic stuff - like the name of their county? You really would be surprised how often folks who are running large quantities of drugs agree to the search; or the driver says they're going to "X" and the car belongs to "Y" while the passenger - often claimed to be their relative or close friend who's been along for the duration of the trip - states that they're going to "Z" and the car belongs to "A".

People that are trying hard to conceal something always plan for the "big deal" questions. Where they f*ck up is the basic "what anybody should know" stuff because they're nervous, and expected the "big deal" question instead of the slow pitch.

And no, it's not cop-bashing. I freely admitted I'm guilty as charged. If you're gonna ask probing questions at least make them something that make sense.

If nothing else, it's a refreshing change from the MyBabyDinnitDoNuffin Damn JBT's are pickin' on me crowd.

Oh, I guess if I wanted to be a dick I could have refused to answer, right? I mean I don't HAVE to, correct?

Well, that's true, but it depends on how the laws of your state are worded as to whether or not your failing to answer basic identity questions - as opposed ot "incriminating yourself" as protected in the 5A - would be considered an offense.

OUCH, it's "M-O-R-O-N, not M-O-R-A-N

Sometimes I love the GD!!!

I spelled it incorrectly for comedic effect, tyvm.

What would have happened if you had answered the question incorrectly? could you get in trouble or just have to deal with further checks to make sure you are who you say you are?

my girlfriend asked me why I said something was "unpossible" and I responded that she should read this very website for the answer to that.

My last post in this ridiculous thread.

Here is something to think about for those that have never ridden in a squad or done the job. In almost every thing you do as a P.O, half of the people will agree with it and the other half won't. That probably sounds idiotic, but let me explain.

Hypothetical #1
I am behind a car that is being operated in a way that leads me to suspect the operator is impaired and it's 2:55 pm, 4 blocks from an elementary school and school is let out at 3:00 pm. I hit the lights and the vehicle accelerates WELL past the speed limit failing to yield while approaching the school. Do you as a non LEO think I should continue pursuit or end the pursuit? The answer is very easy to give AFTER the fact. Here's why; If I continue the pursuit in an attempt to stop the driver before getting to the school and I am unsuccessful and the driver plows through a group of kids - everyone will say that I should have called off the chase. If I stop pursuit hoping the person will slow down before getting to the school and he still plows into a group of kids - everyone will say I should have done more to stop him.

Hypothetical #2.
I'm the same cop in the same town as the OP. The very next day I pull a vehicle over for speeding exactly as I did the OP. I run the plates and they come back clean. I ask for license, reg & ins. and they all check out. The pic on the ID resembles the driver. I don't ask ANY questions and write the driver a ticket for VBSL and go about my business. 30 minutes later the driver of that vehicle kills 30 people at a mall with his evil black rifle that was in the trunk along with a case of grenades and bricks of C4. It is later determined that 15 mins before I stopped that vehicle the driver killed the actual owner of the vehicle and took his wallet. The driver happens to closely resemble the murdered victim. Anyone care to guess what the headlines in the paper will be the next day?

"TRAGEDY COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED"

ABCD news learned that the suspect in the mass killings was stopped by a city of xyz police officer just 30 minutes before the heinous act.............and let go.

Few things make my day beter than some random stranger with a savior-complex asking pointless questions and wanting to sift thorugh my personal effects.

(I have found that telling the cops you're having a really shitty day and don't want to talk to anyone works pretty well.)

Quoted:

it's part of an interrogation technique for determining deceptive behavior.

you ask a simple question that the person should know off the top of their head and it either raises your suspicion (incorrect answer, correct answer with long delay or stuttering) or it sets the baseline for further questioning. Once the officer knows your mood, tone of voice, facial expression, etc when answering questions, any deviation could be seen as deceptive. for example you are irrate and rude, but as soon as the officer asks if you've been drinking, you calm down and respond "no, sir".

for it to work the questions have to be yes/no or simple one word answers (what's your DOB? where are you coming from? etc).

This. It allows them to figure out if they're wasting everyone's time on the stop. Time is money, ya know.
