If a person is caught with drugs by a police officer who then asks questions, that person is under no legal obligation to answer. In fact, the less one says, the better. However, one should always be polite to the officer. Doing so is in a person’s best interest. Remember, do not sign anything and do not waive any constitutional rights. These rights are the only safeguards a person will be given. Be sure to invoke them when necessary. Most importantly, one should respectfully tell the officer that he/she is going to leave unless he/she is actually under arrest. If the officer does arrest someone, he/she should immediately invoke the right to an attorney and not answer any questions.
