Don't Answer Police Questions!

On my way home from recording the "Free the Nipple" trials in Laconia this week, I was pulled over in Tilton for having a Shire Society license plate on the front of the cruiser I was driving and a Wisconsin plate on the back. Here's the interaction I had with the officer. To his credit, he let me put the other Wisconsin plate on and did not ticket me.

This isn't legal advice, but it's generally a bad idea to speak to police. The more talking you do, the closer you get to being issued a ticket or arrested for something. When the officer asks the routine question about the address on the license, he's fishing to see if you've moved recently, and if you have done so without notifying the state within some amount of days. He can write you a ticket for that. So, by answering that question innocently, many people will walk themselves right into another fine.

Better to not assist them with their investigation of you. I'm not perfect, and I do give him a little information in this video. Here's the video of the encounter.

Credit to Kenny Suiter for this simple approach to police stops that gives the driver the ability to respond to police questions, which is one's natural inclination the police are trained to exploit, by simply informing them that you are not answering questions. Over and over. Here's Kenny's inspirational video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwYBshAScmE
