I'm sorry, my car is cooked. I'm sorry. Unless you're detained or arrested, you may terminate the encounter at any time. But don't wait for the officer to dismiss you. Simply ask if you're free to go. There in those dogs are going to rip apart your car and they're going to find what you're hiding. Like I said, what's it going to be? Officer, are you detaining me or am I free to go? Good. This line can help withdraw you from an encounter. Saying you want to leave establishes that the encounter is not voluntary, which could help you later if you end up in court. Let's practice that line. Everyone repeat after me. Are you detaining me? Or am I free to go? Are you detaining me or am I free to go? One more time. Are you detaining me or am I free to go? All right. You want to play it like that? You want to bump it up to the next level? Fine. You stay right here. Don't go anywhere. Asserting your rights won't make the police love you. But it might make them extra cautious about violating your rights. There in this is a citation for excessive lane changing. Take care of that as soon as possible. Thank you, officer.
