[quote=Anonymous]There is a realistic balance between asserting your rights and not pushing a cop to bust you because he can. If you get pulled over for speeding, the first thing the officer will ask you is something like "Do you know how fast you were going?" or "Why are you in such a hurry?" Those questions are designed to get you to admit you were speeding, because the cop is already thinking about his testimony in court. So your answer should NOT be: "I didn't really check" or "I was trying get home to my sick mother." That gets you both a ticket and a guaranteed conviction. , But you shouldn't say "I refuse to answer that question on the grounds it may incriminate me" or "I don't have to answer your questions" because then the cop thinks you're a dick and you'll get not only the speeding ticket but also a citation for failing to signal or some other nonsense. You should say: "I'm in no hurry. I was going the speed limit, and I checked my speedometer."[/quote]
