I was a policeman for a very long time and I think that the police should tell you immediately why they have stopped you. You have to state your name and address that’s on your license and in some states perhaps your date of birth and you need not say anything else at all. That’s all you need to say. You can say. “I don’t answer questions .” That’s it. Don’t say anything else. Don’t consent to searches. They can inspect the car for roadworthiness within limits. That’s it that’s all. You must comply with breath testing or saliva testing if that’s the original reason why they stop you. For gods sake don’t say anything else , don’t answer questions , be polite but be firm in this . If they arrest you then say nothing, not a word. Object to if you are arrested leaving your car in a Vulnerable location. . It’s their responsibility to protect your property. Indicate strenuously that you do not want your car left in a vulnerable location and if they do , indicate strenuously that you will take legal action against them if the car is damaged as a result . Indicate this strongly . If arrested comply with breath testing don’t sign anything other than a bail form. Don’t take part in any interview under any circumstances . Say nothing . Keep your mouth shut . Silence . If you do all these things then you will protect yourself. The courts know this and silence is no indication of guilt it is a right. Keep your mouth shut. If arrested don’t be shy to ask for a meal, drink, and the use of a toilet. Take your toilet break to have a think and take your time . Wash your face and hands. Clean up, sit quietly . Do not fight. Seek legal advice after arrest. A lawyer can’t help you while in custody unless it’s a bail application for release . Shut you stupid mouth. If you have something in the car that’s u lawful , say nothing don’t comment , if they produce something from your car that’s suspicious say nothing. Don’t say who the people in the car are. Don’t say anything. Don’t say yes to searches of the car or you unless you’ve been arrested. Don’t speak to police . Just do these things. 90 percent of a criminal case in Australia is evidence that you have given by opening your big stupid mouth, so Shut up.
I'm a retired Police Officer also and I concur with the above. There has been a seismic shift in honesty and integrity in law enforcement and the justice system since I retired 20 years ago. I have even been 'loaded up' as a VICTIM of crime, so that Police could avoid doing the job they are paid to do. Try and complain and it becomes worse still. The rot goes all the way to the top. I now advise people when spoken to by Police about anything at all, to record everything, and say absolutely nothing. Your name and address when stopped driving or riding a motor vehicle in NSW is all you are obliged to say, or speak into a roadside breath test. Advise Police you are recording them, and leave it at that. After spending my adult life in a career in law enforcement, I never thought that I would one day be ashamed to admit my former employment. I took legal advice on trying to clear my name on the COPS Event System and I was told it would cost me my home, so I would be better off changing my name and moving interstate or overseas. Great result for a victim of crime.
@@paulveenings6861 for many people it was. I know lots of very pro police people who have changed completely and would no longer speak to police after their Covid antics. They did lots of damage to themselves, I myself was stopped and mistreated by police on at least three occasions during Covid, that could actually make an interesting video.
The fuzz showed their true colours during lockdown in Victoria -and elsewhere. We have l-o-n-g memories. There are very few genuinely "nice" Mr Policeman who is here to "help" you. Little kids need to be cautioned on that one as well, as he is only "Nice Mr Policeman" for as long as you are a little child.
About ten years ago, my wife was stopped about 3ks from Cairns central around 10 am, the cop asked a few questions and realised that everything was tickety boo but as he was leaving he said 'those tyres will need sorting out soon'. The reason my wife had been to Cairns central was to get four new tyres fitted, so they had 3 kilometers of wear on them!!!
@@2AdAlchemy I had a friend booked for excess noise on a 2 hr old brand new Honda motorcycle. Stock factory exhaust. Copped it sweet as not worth trying to fight it.
As an ex-copper, I can tell you that sometimes police lie about wanting to search your car, by saying things like "You car fits a description of a car from a break-in" Thing to remember is many people will abide by the search because they know they havent stolen anything, however, if a cop says something to that effect, the idea would be to have them provide you with the police PROMIS number of the Break-in so you can veryify that he is telling the truth, if he will not provide you with that information, he has pulled you over arbitrarily and has committed an offence. Never submit to any search unless the police can prove they have reasonable suspicion.
I had one that went a bit like this, Cop:- "Do you know what speed you were doing?", Me:- "Couldn't have been more than 80km's" Cop:-" In a 60 zone?" Me:- " 80 zone, unless that last sign is wrong" The zone was 80 coming from my direction (leaving town, his was 60 but that was approaching town), turns out he was just nabbing people to fill his quota.
All nonsense rubbish based on ignorance of the fact that there are no permanent speed zones anywhere in Australia with different limits in opposing directions. Sounds good as a story but it's just rubbish. (Temporary road work limits are an exception)
@@carltondial2749 What I think @noname-lp3mu was trying to explain was the signpost at the start/end of a speed zone, where a 60 sign backs onto an 80 sign.
@@carltondial2749all speed signs are "recommended speed limits" its worded exactly that way and literally the next paragraph says "at all other times drive to the conditions" meaning common sense drive slower in heavy traffic and later at night when road is empty you can travel quicker
I once was pulled over, the officer said "Do you know you were over the speed limit, Have you been drinking." So I said "yes" knowing I would pass any tests. It almost looked like a 'light bulb moment' in sargent plods eyes (there was a quite notable change in his tone) "Ah drink driving procedure", so he got out his breathalyser and went through that procedure, after finding me clear, he sent me on my way - as per his procedure - completly forgetting the speeding offence. Best answer I've ever given to a cop, saved me a packet.
Honestly when being pulled over for RBT/drinking I will always say I had something to drink earlier with the last meal of the day. They do their RBT, I pass and they send me on my way no more questions 9 times out of 10. I guess it's a red herring, makes them feel like they achieved something.
@@falconhawkman No, however having to overly monitor the speedo, especially with other idiots trying to run you off the road, is kind of crazy, however if speed just happens to creeps up whilst your attention is directed to self preservation, shouldn't be an offence.
I'm in Australia, I'm glad to hear someone speaking about this, and I would definitely like to hear more, information about the police, laws, and our rights in Australia.
@@2AdAlchemy tell that to the countless people who spend years sometimes decades in prison simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time or because some cop was too lazy to investigate or didn’t like their skin colour or ethnicity. You really do live in a fantasy world….
if they ever ask you to come down to the station to answer some questions...don't go...ask them if your being charged and if your not ...don't answer any more questions and don't cooperate with them because its not worth taking the risk in finding out if they're reasonable cops or just assholes
I got randomly stopped by police three weeks ago while I was operating a motor vehicle in a safe manner on a public road. The cop tried to engage me in an involuntary conversation and he asked me numerous questions about my day. I did not speak to him at all. I did provided my drivers licence, submitted to a breath test and a drug test. When that was all finished with the cop just stood there staring at me with a quizzical look on his face, so I started my car and drove away. I was there for at least 10 minutes and I did not say a single word to him the entire time. FTP!
Couple of years back they pursued me down my driveway to my property. There was a random breath test ahead. Apparently, I was avoiding it by going home. They would never admit when they are wrong. Pigs.
Your mistake was you gave them the drivers licence , so you agreed to be the trustee of the Estate in your All caps name , which is not you . Your or the drivers licence is not you and does not identify you , your name is only the Christian name John Henry , not John Henry Doe . Once you agree to be the legal name you have agreed to be a legal fiction . Merc & The Semiautos. The last Adam .
Up to you what you choose to do but friendly conversation is a good thing. If anything your silence and attitude made him suspicious or “quizzical” as you say.
As I was born overseas I am really interested for this type of content as well. You can only learn as much by reading the government's websites for regulations and policies. Although, I see that questions and responses are relevant to my birth-country as well!
I have a great answer for when you get pulled over and get asked “Why are you nervous!?” “Well when was the last time you pulled someone over and said “I’ve observed your great driving today, so we’re going to add 1 point to your licence - you’ll now have 13 available, and $186 will be deposited in your your account by the 15th of this month!” I would say ‘Never’ correct?”
I am amazed how the focus has become on issuing fines rather than safety. Education is now about profit than teaching, health is about costs rather than health at the same time Governments are about lining their pockets rather than leading.
It's more along the lines of "public corporation policies over community" - there was a lawsuit in the 1920s I think it was, in America, that was successful in suing a business saying they should have put profits over corporate responsibility to the community. That set the tone for American (and thus most other publicly traded) businesses ever since. I wish that lawsuit hadn't succeeded. Were it not for that, I doubt we'd be in the 'profits before community' stage of economic development.
@MiniLuv-1984 I always ran via the education is king. That is how the "attitude test" came about. If you deny you did something wrong when I try to educate you, I guess you need a ticket to convince you". This is what I taught my pros. Gds don't give many tickets. Those are the cops you will generally interact with.
Australia needs a really good video on what grounds they can stop you and ask identity. What's the difference between detain and arrest. And everything else you need to know in order to be able to go about your ordinary business in public without being harassed stalked or assaulted and kidnapped by snots in uniform
Agree 💯 Seems I know more about Americans legal system and rights than about my own here @ home. But then my only interaction with QPS in the last 15 years - when they paid a visit to my house - ended with taking selfies with my cat 😺 I shit you not I have the Ring Cam footage of them leaving, laughing & telling me it's all good 😊 Unsubstantiated BS
In Queensland you could read the relevant sections of the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act and answer ALL of your questions in a few minutes of reading. It is freely available on line. Other States would have similar legislation. The simple answer is dont commit crime, dont cause trouble for other people, dont be a rude and obnoxious dickhead, dont hang around the street drunk or stoned, dont hoon around in cars and endanger other people, dont hang around with people that do these things, and you will rarely speak with police (probably almost never). If you do speak with police for routine things like traffic stops, just be courteous and comply with any lawful directions. On the other hand, if you are being a dick and a public nuisance, or committing crime regularly, OF COURSE police will speak with you regularly! Most people in Australia who claim that police harass them all the time are probably serial public nuisance dickheads, or they bait the police, or they are legit criminals committed to a criminal lifestyle. You need to take a long hard look at yourself and ask, "Am I a serial dickhead?" 98% chance you are, you just dont know it. The other 2%, well perhaps police are doing the wrong thing.
I don't get this "I don't have to show you identification' shit you see Americans pulling. Who cares? Where's the advantage in not complying with a reasonable request and pissing them off. It's like you're trying to force them to charge you with something. How about not BEING an arsehole so you don't get treated like one? Being reasonable and polite has got me out of a lot of shit over the years. I'll be free to go while the guy next to me who did the same thing gets locked up, happened many a time!
The short answer is to be perfectly polite and don't give them probable cause... If requested, you are required to state your name and home address. If when driving, you are also required to produce your driver's license. You are required to follow reasonable directions - and if arrested are expected to comply, and there are no grounds for them using force if you are compliant. In all this, you are not required to answer any questions - although they will ask, and it is sometimes advantageous to point out important information that might help you. You are NOT required to be a witness for your own prosecution. Be very mindful that anything you do say, could - and probably will be used to build a case against you. Even if it's true, and innocent - if it can be presented in such a manner that makes you seem unreliable or dishonest - or could contradict something said later, or by another person - or used to build a case for motive. There are many ways you can be caught with your own words.
No .. Don't be funny with them or the topic. I don't answer questions. By saying this, even when they greet you with Hello, how are you today. I don't answer questions. I tells them immediately your on solid ground and they are getting nothing. Your interactions will be over almost immediately.
Years back, I cut a corner turning right into a narrow side street, I was half on the right side of the street, and had to swerve away from a cop coming the other way- he was half on my side and was swerving away too. I continued a couple hundred metres and stopped in front of my mate's place, noticing the cop doing a u-turn. He stopped and was pulling his book out while walking to me. He said "You nearly hit me, you were on the wrong side of the road." I said "So were you." He mumbled something for a minute, put his book back, and drove off!
@@jackfrost2146 So do the people reading all the BS stories on this post!! All the "Ex cops" And made up stories. How stupid do you think people are to believe your lies?
It's hilarious because when I was 17, I got pulled over and they asked me all of those questions and to the searching one I said that they could go for it if they wanted to. They spent the next hour searching my car for no reason while I just stood there and watched. It was the biggest piece of crap car you'd ever know. While they were searching my car, my mate drives past in his car unlicensed, uninsured. An hour later they let me go with nothing. Maybe they were bored?
You should’ve driven a panel van in the late 70’s early 80’s. Was pulled over and searched every weekend…….🤦♂️🤦♂️. Didn’t know it but the previous owner enjoyed the coochie and left a bag under the drivers seat. The cops never found it… only reason I did cause I wrote it off, then wrecked it out!😢😢
as teens, we drove a mate home. no dash lights, flicking a lighter to see the speedo as they tailed us, ffs... finally pulled over, pouring rain... asked to search. i shrugged. not my car... knowing theres a bong in the glovebox, and the driver had weed on him. they searched him, found the weed... didnt search the car. then let us go with a "warning". he was 14.
When I was young my mum got pulled over on suspicion of having potatoes or vegetables or something in her car. The cops threw all our possessions all over the side of the road and drove off, leaving my mum in tears and spending over 1 hour repacking our holiday belongings. That left a lasting impression on small children and all cops are treated poorly for life now.
@@quatermass8 There are restrictions on taking fresh fruit and vegetables into certain areas, but these checkpoints are usually not manned by police, so it is unusual for cops to do this work, unless you blew past the checkpoint and they called the cops on you, which would be my guess. Don't do it, it's a hefty fine.
A cop on his way to work in his own private car flew into a roundabout while I was already in it and nearly hit my rear so I gave him the finger and brake checking him cos he was within inches of my rear for about 1 klm and he pulled me over in plain clothes threatening me with a list of traffic offences. Long story short, he said a fine will be posted out. I very loudly argued with him saying he was pretending to be a cop, no badge or uniform. I actually received the fine and took it court. When at court he did not turn up and the excuse was the printer was not working at the police station and the case was thrown out within 2 minutes. He knew he was in the wrong and on a power trip but if your in the right, stand up to them and go to court.
@@wellybobs4403 I elected to go to court and he did not turn up to court. So when he realised he could not win, he then decided to make a lame excuse saying the printer in a huge police station was not working, now tell me how a police station with well over 150 police,detectives,secretaries ect did not have a working printer ! I’m in Australia and the law works differently to how the USA works. Your only summoned go to court if you commit a serious crime, not petty traffic offence ect
I've been pulled over by police four times in the past six months and I got everything from: 'You were speeding, this is a 50 zone!' 'Officer, this is a 60 zone.' 'I still think you were speeding!' to: 'You must think this is your own private race track!' 'Yes, I think this is my own private race track. Was I speeding?' 'Well, no.' to: 'You made an illegal U-turn back there.' 'It's not an illegal U-turn.' Goes to check basic road rules 'You're free to go.' I wish I was kidding. The police in Australia are a joke.
@@aussie.prepper Well, the government has officially labelled me 'immoral' for having speeding fines, so likely I come up on their systems when they see my plates and the computer says 'harass'.
I got pulled over by a female officer with attitude, who, tried to stooge me into opening my bonnet. That's considered a 'search'. I said no! She got bent out of shape, and claims she could arrest me if I did not comply. I replied... Unless you have a warrant for my arrest, have reasonable suspicion I have committed a crime, or I'm about to commit a crime, then arresting me because I legally refused a search, would be an unlawful arrest. Most police like to act like their in charge. When the table are turned, they don't know how to handle it. Name, address and DOB, is all they can legally ask for. The rest... "NO COMMENT!"
@@RawfunkgamesNetAu Actually, a Police Officer is entitled to examine a vehicle for defects, which includes under the bonnet. They don't need 'reasonable cause' to look under the bonnet.
@@coolhand1964 - A brand new M3 BMW does not have defects, mate. They were fishing and saw me as an easy target to try and get their quota up. Pure and simple!
I had a Gabriel 'Fluffy' Enriquez moment a couple of years back. I'd picked up Krispy Kreme donuts and other items for my parents for a family get together and when the cop asked me if I knew why he'd pulled me over I held the donuts up and said "Because you could smell them?" He had to walk away for a moment and I could see him trying to get hold of himself. He was still chuckling a bit when he walked back to the car. He'd pulled me over because I was 'driving too slow' while others were speeding past me - I was driving my sister in law's car as she'd parked me in and was just being careful in an unfamiliar vehicle. Driving under the speed limit when others were going past it was cause for concern, he breathalyzed me then sent me on the way. Not a joke I'd pull with the Highway Patrol.
Thank you for a very useful video. I've been stopped by the police a few times in the last nearly sixty years of driving in all states of Australia, and the Northern Teritory, but I can't remember being asked any of these specific questions. Not all my interactions with police were with officers who were completely honest and straight forward. I can well believe that there are a few officers who would try this sort of trickery.
The police will have "reasonable suspicion" if you hold a firearms licence. Sadly, I think having such a licence opens a lot of doors for the police...because their default setting is: _if you have a firearms licence, they just haven't caught you yet_ ,...despite the vast majority of firearms licence holders are law-abiding citizens.
That's not reasonable suspicion of a crime. If they had a report of gun fire by someone fitting your description in a car like yours, that's a RAS. Or if you made an admission that you had been using outside of conditions (a club).

I was pulled over at 7am on the way home from a 16 hour double night shift about 5 minutes from home. I got out of the car and I'm clearly in my work overalls with company logo and name tag. The cop said "why are your eyes red?" And I said, 'probably because I've spent 16 hours working inside a aircraft fuel tank.' He got really annoyed, told me i was being stroppy and gave me a lecture but finally let me go when i said i just wanted to go to bed. P plates are a absolutely magnetic for cops even when you haven't done anything.
Ahhh us aircraft engineers can be a dry, stroppy bunch, especially after a night shift, lol. Feel for ya mate..16 hours in a tank is rough. Reason I gave up on my tank entry recurrency training, citing medical reasons..I'm 50, don't bend like I used to. Jet-A1 tends to linger for a while in the skin.
Years ago I got pulled over on the Hume for speeding. They asked if they could search my car. I said No. They grabbed my arm and yanked me from the car and said they could. They found a bong and I ended up in court. I told the judge what happened, there was a look in her eye but that was about it. I asked for a "56A exemption" and basically got off with a warning.
Do you know why I stopped you? I dont answer questions. Its nothing personal or against cops, I just dont answer questions. Do you know how fast you were going? Please refer to the first answer. Can I search your car? Officer, if you have a search warrant you can definately search my car, until then no. Be polite but resolute. Answer no questions because you are not required by law to, and they will twist anything you do say to suit themselves. Criminals have walked free from murder charges because they refused to answer anything the cops ask them. If they are asking questions it means they don't know anything and are fishing for an admittance of guilt.
Correct. I’m not discussing my day works too. Eventually you will have to tell them you wish to remain silent after they persist with a barrage of questions or persuasive techniques
If you are going to answer questions it's best to think carefully about the answers you give. In the first instance if you say "no I don't know why you stopped me" and the police have observed you doing something wrong they can say you were driving distracted etc. A better answer would be " For a random breath test ". And your speed is always "within the speed limit" . They ask when you speed has been estimated by observation not measured by a radar gun or similar.
@@andrewwatson5360 It's just safer to not answer questions at all. If you answer they can twist it around to suit them now or later in court. If you don't answer they have nothing to do but let you go, unless someone has witnessed you doing something wrong, or they have irrefutable proof you did something wrong. If they are asking questions they don't know anything. If they did they would just put handcuffs on you and drag you off to jail.
@@manicmasterofmetal2620 Th as t is up to you but no answering or being uncooperative can quickly escalate a simple traffic stop into a situation you cannot reverse from and if you end up in a court it will be stated that you acted suspiciously. If there are no independent witnesses to the interaction it becomes your word against the police so you have to ensure that you don't provide any ammunition to use against you and refusing to answer reasonable questions is one sure way to do it. They have a job to do and your demeanor plays a big part in their decision making when it comes to just letting you go or taking things further. In my slightly irresponsible youth many decades ago there was much less oversight of police, no body cams, no radar guns and much less training in legal niceties so the cops had a fairly free reign when out on the road. So you had to be able to talk your way out of things at times if you were an enthusiastic driver. Playing the legal richessness card didn't work as it was usually just you and the cop who often had a mate. If they said you did it and they wanted to take it further than you did it ! So with my mouth I managed to get off scott free at times, with a warning at other stops or with a much lesser fine on others. I didn't ever lose my licence or end up in court even though I was driving powerful cars and big motorbikes. I was always polite, respectful and friendly and if my bullshit was obviously not going to work carefully admitted to a milder version of the events that occurred. Back in the 70s it was like the wild west and being belligerent and refusing to answer questions was asking for trouble. Things have changed but not that much so it's better to be prepared with good non committal answers than raising suspicions by "exercising your rights ". You're in a power imbalance and you are on the light end with minimal means to influence an outcome in your favour.
Always ask for a copy of the recording before taking the matter to court. Thay have to provide it, and in many cases it will be inconsistent with the reasons they have issued the fine. I had one Officer impound a mates car. In the recording he stated to my mate that he had raved his engine out as he took off, but when he called a Sergeant to get authorisation to impound the car, he stated that he had witnessed him doing a burnout as he took off. Two very different things. The sergeant could only go by the lie he was told because he didn't witness it himself. Needles to say, my mate got his car and license back when the judge reviewed the recording in court, along with compensation for expenses he had incurred during the time without his car and license. The worst part though, three different lawyers told him to plead guilty because there was nothing he could do about it. They teach us how to fight for justice in law school, then law firms teach how to take the easiest road to a client's pockets.
Lawyers are about money, not justice. However, they will defend a client they know is guilty and try to get them off if they are given enough money. Daniel Keneally is a perfect example of this and he was a cop.
I learned - the HARD WAY - lawyers do NOT have your interests at heart. (Perhaps they were trained with the same philosophy as stockbrokers - their "job" is to take money from the clients pocket and put it in theirs). The great "Freedom Fighting" lawyer in South Australia said he was going to take on the covid vax mandates. Despite the fact I ONLY worked from home with zero contact, was on approved long service leave AND had a legit vax exemption at the time, I was SACKED from my career. What did the lawyer do? Took money from me, submitted an unfair dismissal claim AFTER the deadline had elapsed, told me I'd LOSE because I couldn't pay hundreds of thousands for an "expert witness", and withdrew unfair dismissal. He did NOT withdraw his fees and charges.
If you've had say, for example a DUI conviction from 20 plus years ago. You can expect to be pulled over in the evening, say always after 9pm for an RBT. Their computer screen will indicate that, and it could be their lucky night. There's nothing like repeat business.
Sorry from personal experience I can confirm this to be BS. I was done yrs ago PCA and when I applied for a liquor licence recently there was no record of it on the system. None. They even asked if I had any priors. Records aren’t kept that long for minor things of that nature…
Love to see a vid relating to ID. How and when to privide it during traffic stop and also on the street. What "produce" means. Do i have to hand it over or just show it. Do i have to give police my phone if i have a digital licence (nsw). Can I refuse to be searched if i haven't committed an offence etc😊
I haven't looked at NSW laws, but in Vic you definitely only have to show your licence and the digital version has a QR code to be read by some device the officer has. VicRoads explicitly says for drivers to keep their phones at all times.
@markdotcomau 1. If you hold it up and keep holding it so they can read it and take down the details that is fine. You don't have to give your phone. Just hold it up as above. You can refuse to be searched but police (nsw) have powers that don't necessarily have to do with you committing an offence
I would never ever let the police search my car because of the possibility of them planting something in it. I got pulled over for absolutely no reason whatsoever back when I was living in greater Sydney 8 years ago. I had broken absolutely no laws whatsoever - road related or otherwise. The officer did the ubiquitous breath test which provided the legal excuse for pulling me over. Then they launched into a long fishing expedition that went on for 20 plus minutes. It is a long story but for brevity, I made an official complaint to the police the next day and it was settled. As a matter of fact, the conduct of that officer was worse than what I stated in my complaint however I had no proof of some of their subsequent conduct so I could not include it in the complaint. This included them hiding away in a side street and subsequently pursuing me from a distance thinking I was too stupid to know I was being tailed. The purpose of that was to give them an excuse (in their criminal corrupt mind) to arrest me since they had asked me where I was headed back when they were illegally detaining me. I was actually headed back home but had decided I will pull off into a McDonalds for a bathroom break and a meal. But when I saw them pursuing me once again from a distance I decided to keep driving straight home. In hindsight perhaps I should have gone to the McDonalds since I would then definitely had taken the State of NSW to court for wrongful detention, wrongful arrest and assault by a police officer. But since I drove straight home I was merely prepared to sue for wrongful detention had there been no settlement to my satisfaction. But I will tell you - that officer should not be in the police force. The lawless Wild West ceased to exist for very sensible and humane reasons and we should not see individual officers playing corrupt town sheriff.
First question is probably 'Are you having good day?' or something to butter you up. Hint: They're not your friend, never will be, so don't get friendly and chatty, giving them something to work with.

Hello all, the issue with traffic offences in NSW and questioning by police is technically that anything said by you is not admissible at court if you have not received an official caution that being, "I am going to ask you some questions, you do not have to say or do anything you do not want to, but anything you do say will be recorded and may be used as evidence at court at a later stage. Do you understand this?" All police in NSW wear Body Worn Cameras (BWV), in particular members of the "Highway Patrol" so when the officer approaches your vehicle and asks you questions such as stated by the host of this channel be aware that you are more than likely being recorded which should be the first words spoken to you by the officer, "I am recording sound and audio". Therefore my first question to the officer if he hasn't already advised you would be, "Before I choose to answer any questions are you recording sound and audio?" if answered yes, "Simply say, "As I am being recorded I choose not to answer". Remember supply your licence, legally you must and ensure your vehicle is registered. Traffic is a complex matter so supply your licence and you have complied with the law. Remeber these examples are for minor traffic offences only such as speeding, fail to indicate etc. If you are involved in a serious matter such as causing a death due to your alleged driving then you would receive the caution but remain silent, it is your right under law. . Remember be polite,don't be a smart arse and don't lose your cool, it doesn't work. Have your drivers licence with you, ensure your car is registered to be driven on the road in the first place and if told you will be receiving an infringement notice in the mail simply ask, "Okay, may I ask you what the alleged offence is?" and leave it at that, nothing more. The next point would be that some magistrates in NSW state or believe that regarding traffic offences it is not a requirement to receive a caution yet some do, this would have to be clarified by you or your solicitor. If in doubt seek legal advice. Drive safe and courteous everyone.
In Queensland, and probably every state in Australia, if police want to question you about an INDICTABLE offence they must give you your rights and warnings (ie right to silence, right to contact lawyer, right to contact friend or relative), and if they fail to do so the recording is not admissable as evidence in a court case. For a non indictable offence ( Simple offence), such as traffic offences, an interview without the warnings will probably be admissable as evidence in a court case. The judge MAY rule the interview as inadmissable as evidence, but PROBABLY WILL admit it as evidence. If you answer ANY question at a traffic stop, regadless of rights and warnings not having been given, you should assume it will be used as evidence!
@@glennmorrissey2529 you are confused, the caution is for criminal matters, not traffic matters, no caution required for traffic matters. If the traffic matter could turn into a criminal matter police will caution prior to questioning, such as interviewing for a fatal accident. If you are being cautioned you know you are in deep trouble. Being polite does not really help you, it only makes it easier for you to be convicted,
Sorry Mr Prep, worked in the cops for a long time. The example regarding the caution is from Sutherland Court. The magistrate has the final say. Yes, it’s for criminal offences but if police are ever unsure where the matter is headed, throw in a caution, can’t hurt and there is no law against it. In the end produce your licence and be respectful and if there is nothing to hide you will have no worries whatsoever. If you have issues in your car, prohibited items etc, well, your choice. Perhaps the police will have reasonable cause to search your car and then your off on another tangent. My tip, keep your car registered, your licence valid and stay happy.
If you let them search your car it is possible they may plant evidence in it for later use. I have heard many stories about police and have seen them in action so unfortunately I don't trust them. Also when one of them was talking to me I think she was trying to find out if I was under the influence by the sound of my voice. It is sad but you need to be VERY careful when dealing with them.
Yep, it's always bullshit stories from a mate of a mate. If you're suspected of being under the influence you would be subject to a preliminary breath test. If you take legal advice from the bozo running this channel, good luck in court.
@@edthebumblingfool Quite a few of these stories have occurred on the news bulletins that mainstream media give out each night. Some may be fantasy but there is a good deal of truth in them as well.
I did this, the cop got pissed, defected me for everything under the sun. moral of the story, they will win regardless, pointless to piss them off trying to be a youtube lawyer
I don’t understand, answering his questions politely pissed him off? Willing to bet there is much more to this story. For a car to be detected it must be unroadworthy, pretty easy to prove either way if you were defected unfairly.
That’s so true. Haha. I’ve gotten out of a ticket (proper speeding) by being humble, genuinely remorseful, and being extremely polite. The cops (two) gave me a scolding, and let me go. It was like a surreal dream. But then again, I was also a young student. (Not sure if it mattered)
Mate of mine got cut off by an old woman diving from the outside lane into a parking spot. Gave her the finger and a mouthful, drove off. Turns out she's the local Sergeants missus. Two days later he's parked outside the local milk bar, cop pulls up, slaps something on his windshield and drives off. Defect notice, about 20 long. First defect? No windshield. Went to the local RTA, showed them, the inspector there took it off, told him not to worry. Never heard another word.
I 100% agree that you shouldn't take Australian legal advice from US RUclips videos. But, I would go so far as to say you shouldn't take legal advice from ANY RUclipsr. Maybe I've had a charmed life, but the last time I was stopped by Police they told me that their ANPR system had reported my registration had expired the day before. It was my father's car, so I was completely unaware (as I explsined). They definitely COULD have breached my right there and then and left me stranded. But they didn't. They suggested that I drive straight home and sort the rego online, which I thought was very fair. No doubt there are over zealous cops out there who try to get a pinch no matter what. But (in my experience) polite and honest responses are a good strategy. Just my 2c worth.
@@Mike620628 Sounds like a strange story as the cops actually broke the law doing what they did. There is no discretion on unregistered vehicle and not knowing is no excuse, it's your responsibility as a driver of ANY vehicle to check the roadworthiness and registration status of any car you drive, it's a literal 15 second process to see if the car is registered. The cops letting you drive away in an unregistered car would be a criminal offence on their part and a breach of their duty of care. Imagine if you had an accident on the way home, they could go to prison, it seems extremely strange that they were willing to take such a risk for a total stranger.
If you say NO to a search, you best bet they will make up something. Do a video on Police and your rights in your own home. As in are they allowed to come straight in or can you say NO? Cheers!
The best answer is to say "As you have asked permission to search the car, you admit to having no probable cause/reason to search and as such, I deny consent to any search". This makes it much harder for them to "fabricate" grounds for a search during the stop.
Hello Goofy, police can only enter without permission when there is a concern for someone’s welfare such as hearing domestic violence occurring. The second is if they have a search warrant which they will read to you and give you what is called an Occupiers Notice but usually related to bigger issues, prohibited drugs, guns etc.
@julietharty1965 all a cop has to say is they thought they heard someone scream or something inside the house....bingo Bangor there's the probable cause no warrant needed and all things discovered are now admissible in court
@@julietharty1965 In VIC, SA & NSW they can search people, cars, businesses and homes without warrants as laws were changed years ago. All they have to do is personally believe that there might be something illegal there, or that something illegal is happening and they're free to search. Also, if you or anyone at the address has a firearm licence, a fishing licence or boat licence, the general conditions (as written in the laws, not on the licences) permit the police to search those places without warrants.
@@matthewnirenberg Hi Matt, that information is incorrect I believe, it's still the old "a mans home is his castle". The law in New South Wales is that police cannot enter a persons property without a search warrant, it hasn't changed. If police came to my door asking to enter I can allow this, if I do not want them to enter they must obtain a search warrant to do so which has to be vetted by a registrar or magistrate. There are a number of reasons why they can enter without a warrant mostly to prevent a breach of the peace to stop or assist someone being injured, generally it's all related to DV offences. I police for twenty five years and left two years ago and it hasn;t changed. There are firearms prohibition orders which allow entry but those circumstances are different. At the end of the day Mr. PREPPER was all doom and gloom about being stopped by cops over traffic matters. Produce your licence, keep your vehicle registered and whether you decide to talk or not who cares, there are way more things to do in life that worry about the police and traffic stops. Best of luck to you and your family.
As a young fella, I was ticketed by a Traffic Officer using the "New Radar" system that they had just introduced for doing 70mph in a 50mph zone. I explained that I was in a hurry trying to get to a bus which was to take me and my car-load to an out-of-town work function so that we didn't have to drink and drive. The Cop was extremely excited, saying that I was the first he had caught on the new radar and that I could go and he would post the ticket out. Now in those days, the Cop had to recalibrate the radar in front of you by using a tuning fork and then to confirm the recorded speed. He never did that! When the ticket arrived, I went to his Commanding Officer and explained to him that he didn't have a case - pointed out the errors in procedure. The old Cop, thought about it for a while and then started to tear up the ticket while saying that the Cop won't make that mistake again. I turned to walk out the office, feeling very relieved and quite proud of myself. As I opened the door the old Cop called out "By the way, what speed were you going???" Quick as a flash, I replied "I think the Traffic Officers estimation is a gross exaggeration" and continued walking out. The cunning old bugger tried at a time when I was most vulnerable, to get me to incriminate myself - fortunately, even as a teenager, I was up to his trick.
Yeah that's bullshit. The tuning fork is used at the start of the shift to check the system works. Police don't calibrate them, it's a specialist job and radars are sent away to the experts for calibration. So you my friend, are full of shit.
I remember being pulled over for a random breath test. I live in Bathurst, and this was during race time, so I was gifted lights and a siren bleep. I had a six pack of beer on the passenger seat. Now, I've never drunk and driven, I've never even had a parking ticket, but this cop 110% thought he had me. I just wish I could've taken a photo when the breath tester read zero. But I don't read too much into cops, I dare say that most of the time they're just bored.
The alternative to saying no is standing on the side of the road for 30 minutes while total strangers spread your belongings out on the nature strip. Saying no is normal, what’s suspicious about not wanting your privacy invaded and your personal belongings gone through by total strangers.
to answer police on the topic of searching your vehicle, "what are your suspicions to warrant asking that question, sir/mam" if they then push harder then respond with another question, "do I have the right to refuse" and if they say yes, then you can say "thank you for informing me on my rights, based on your information I would politely like to exercised my right to refuse, but happy for you to inspect outside my vehicle to ensure i am compliant with roadworthiness"
make sure you know the speed limit because they will ask you what it is in the current section and the section they claimed to be monitoring you. You can say "i follow the signed speed limit I dont remember every section ive been in
My brother got pulled over in the mid 1970s & was booked for 5 bald tyres, the cop only looked at the 4 on the car & when my brother said why did you book me for 5 bald tyres the cop said if these 4 are bald the one in the boot will be also.
Good little video. As a former police officer I must admit you're pretty much on the mark. One thing I should mention is that if you're obviously doing well over the speed limit (like 20+ over, especially in moderate traffic) if you say you thought you were doing the speed limit, the "impaired" bells start ringing. Officially cops don't profile, but in the reality they do, and it makes sense to. Are you going to pull over a granny in a Hyundai, or a P-Plater in an old bomb full of kids? I only spent three years in general duties, but you do meet a lot of stupid drivers, especially those with outstanding warrants or in the midst of an active crime. You also meet a lot of good, intelligent people whose memory lapse caught our attention. At the end of the day, if you have a decent driving history, just be polite and take responsibility for your actions. If you honestly believe the infringement was unjust, take it to court-that's what it's for. Getting pulled over shouldn't stress you out.
Nice to have a distinction on Australian rights with traffic cops. Some tool was passing and spotted a marked car in the mix so used his horn to warn others. Cop thought it was me & pulled me over, claiming illegal use of car horn. I demonstrated my horn & passenger female cop said it didn't sound like that but lead cop then says well you were speeding which was also BS but he gave me a fine. Never trusted the pricks since.
When I go through an RBT I act like Trent from Punchy. Fully cooked meth head. Then when they come back to the car I act like Sean Connery. Some cops actually get a laugh.
This is an excellent video. l've learnt they are legally allowed to 'lie' and they do so. Consider it's their job to arrest citizens and it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume they have KPI's like other professions do. Direct quote from Legal Aid Solicitor "Police are not our friends" Remember say nothing or "l don't answer questions" 2️⃣4️⃣th September 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣4️⃣
I don't know what experiences you've had to have formed such a negative outlook but all my decades here on this great island continent have been pretty hassle-free.
Hey great Video! Could you please do another video like this in more detail here in Australia about what we are legally required to answer when pulled over, and things we don't have to tell police? Thank you!
My car was searched years ago, took them over an hour, even took the door trims off. Then left me on the side of the road with it dismantled. Never thought a good thought of them since.
They often also ask “have you had anything to drink this evening?” Why do they never specifically ask about drinking alcohol, people drink water all day long.
I got pulled up after driving out of a pub car park where I was doing a part time job. First question "have you been drinking tonight" answer "no working, had some water I guess" Checked breath test, licence, rego etc claimed their IPad was down so they would contact me later if they found anomalies, to which I laughed. The asked what was so funny. I said "you have probably pulled over the most compliant person for 1000 square kilometers. I have had had multiple police checks , multiple Defence security checks, and have valid rego and licences always" A giant WOFTAM for exiting a pub after 10PM.
I answered honestly.. "Yes, but I stopped a couple of hours ago." Got a breath test, passed, thanked for honesty. Drinking, waiting, then driving is not illegal.
Great video! I really thought the third question would be "Have you had anything to drink tonight?" An entirely redundant question when you are about to get breath tested regardless of your answer. What's the best answer in this situation?
Hi, thank you for sharing your unsight. Are you able to tell me where I can learn more about the police's responsibilities and mine? For instance, I'm told that if a police car has a light out, it is not roadworthy and the officers cannot book you, likewise if they don’t have their hat on as they are out of uniform. I'd love a source of information that could confirm, or otherwise, this information and explain other things I need to know or be aware of. Thanks again
🤣Those are urban legends that Sovereign Citizens clowns come up with, a cop can book you wearing their pyjamas riding a tricycle with two flat tyres. Best sources would be legal web sites and official police web sites, police handbook if you can get hold of it. Or do a criminal law course at university, but that might be taking it too far. 🤣 This could be another great video topic.
The police in England have strict knife laws, if they find a knife on you they will ask you , would you consider this knife a weapon? If you say yes , you are carrying a concealed weapon. Instead, lawyers advise saying, "No, it is a tool or an implement "for opening parcels or cutting string.
Now subscribed, thank-you. Someone I know (lol) learned the correct responses to these questions 30 years ago. Pulled over many times during that time and every time and has been let off with a "warning". (speeding / illegal turn / not give way / disobey stop sign etc). I would assume that if you are done by a fixed camera you are toast unless you have not had a ticket in the previous 10 years - (where you can claim leniency without attending court due to your exemplary driving record). He done that one too - red light camera. P.S. - This only works if you have been licensed in the same state for the 10 years prior to the offence, and not for serious offences. Cheers.
On my way to work a cop driving along side directed me to pull over , we were on a busy road so i turned into a side street and stopped , the cop got out of his car and pointed his pistol at me whist leaning on the bonnet of his vehicle, his claim for this action was that i fired a gun in my car or turned off and on my car to create a huge backfire , i did neighter...he settled down after 5min & then drove ...i contacted a Sargent at his station who i knew & he told me not to report the incident as the said officer's partner was shot a week before & he was unhinged, wow , why was he working at all , I didn't report that incident, on reflection I should have
I had an encounter with an off-duty absolute PSYCHOPATH. Similar rationale applied - "don't report it" - relatives who lived on the same street feared retribution.
This works if you have a female and male,im 6,7 120 bit wild history but I get straight out start talking to the female like at a night club but I totally ignore the male wont engage him at all I just hammer her with smiles flirts ,this has happened many times it throws him right of cause I pretend he just not there if he speaks i answer her,while being on heat talking to her fay skinny they love it. followed by I demand you search me bae but 9nly you.still not been searched yet using this method
@@BobLouden-r9q what is b.s. Are you referring the officers who said these things. The referring to fact that they do actually do this or my actually having lived through experiences. Which includes successfully prosecuting 2 female officers for ethical breaches and with two more pending. Your reductive proclamation needs more explanation. It lacks all subtle refinement that one uses to conduce an argument, debate or rational discussion. In layman terms. What are you saying is BS. Argument needs to be like a spear. It's got to have a point. Or else you are just some nut yelling random shite.
Ha ha ha. A couple of times I’ve had “You match the description of somebody we are looking for” Answer: “Fair Dinkum. I feel sorry for anybody who is as ugly as me.”
Or... "You match the description of someone we are looking for"...answer: "I get it. But let me ask you: what are the chances of two really, really, ridiculously good looking people being in the same area? Apparently, pretty good!"
This advice is from a U.S. lawyer but probably applies to Australia. DON'T TALK TO THE POLICE. Go to an official legal aid website in your state/territory and learn what the police can and cannot do.
This is great legal advice. Thanks. I haven't got pulled over too much because I don't speed very often - unless I'm being careless. If I do get pulled over I cop the fine because I was in the wrong. If the rozzers want to look in my car that's ok too - I carry nothing of any interest.
Here's a true story from a long long time ago. My brother and his friend driving along a country road to go surfing. They smoked weed all the time. My brother was driving and as he pulled over thinking well we are done here. They coppers asked them both to step out, and then proceeded to strip search the car. He said they tore out everything and searched really thoroughly finding nothing. They then got back in their police car and drove off. The boys packed all their gear back in the car and put the surfboards back up on the racks. They then got back in the car and he was just about to drive off when his mate said "oh wait a tick". He opened the passenger door, reached under the car and retrieved the stash. He had calmly flipped it under the car as they alighted the vehicle. The boys in blue never bothered to check the road under the car. Staying cool & calm is always wise.😉
Many, many years ago a dope head mate would tell the tale of being pulled over by a cop just outside a country town. He said he was polite and helpful as possible and when the cop asked to search his car he let him. "Mind if I have a cig while I wait?" he asked and the cop said 'Go ahead." So he reached in, got his tobacco pouch from the dash and stood to one side. He said he rolled a cigarette, put the pouch in his shirt pocket, and smoked his cig while watching the cop look through the car. The cop found nothing and sent him on his way, and he tossed his tobacco pouch that also contained a foil of dope back on the dash. Postscript: Some years later he rolled his car into a creek speeding while DUI (and probably also ripped) and drowned in 12 inches of water. Ironically the water course was called Narcotic Creek. Don't do drugs and drive, kids.
Or they plant something in your car. Start filming as soon as the law come to your window. Turn off the vehicle apply the hand brake wind down the window not all the way pick up your phone and start recording all of the interaction.
You lost that one because you spoke to them. You can't be charged with not speaking to police. But anything you do say to police will literally be used against you.
I was a policeman for a very long time and I think that the police should tell you immediately why they have stopped you. You have to state your name and address that’s on your license and in some states perhaps your date of birth and you need not say anything else at all. That’s all you need to say. You can say. “I don’t answer questions .” That’s it. Don’t say anything else. Don’t consent to searches. They can inspect the car for roadworthiness within limits. That’s it that’s all. You must comply with breath testing or saliva testing if that’s the original reason why they stop you. For gods sake don’t say anything else , don’t answer questions , be polite but be firm in this . If they arrest you then say nothing, not a word. Object to if you are arrested leaving your car in a Vulnerable location. . It’s their responsibility to protect your property. Indicate strenuously that you do not want your car left in a vulnerable location and if they do , indicate strenuously that you will take legal action against them if the car is damaged as a result . Indicate this strongly . If arrested comply with breath testing don’t sign anything other than a bail form. Don’t take part in any interview under any circumstances . Say nothing . Keep your mouth shut . Silence . If you do all these things then you will protect yourself. The courts know this and silence is no indication of guilt it is a right. Keep your mouth shut. If arrested don’t be shy to ask for a meal, drink, and the use of a toilet. Take your toilet break to have a think and take your time . Wash your face and hands. Clean up, sit quietly . Do not fight. Seek legal advice after arrest. A lawyer can’t help you while in custody unless it’s a bail application for release . Shut you stupid mouth. If you have something in the car that’s u lawful , say nothing don’t comment , if they produce something from your car that’s suspicious say nothing. Don’t say who the people in the car are. Don’t say anything. Don’t say yes to searches of the car or you unless you’ve been arrested. Don’t speak to police . Just do these things. 90 percent of a criminal case in Australia is evidence that you have given by opening your big stupid mouth, so
Shut up.
Thankyou for the advice, much appreciated.
Pretty much sums it up.
Great advice
great advice , wish i had of known that years ago
I'm a retired Police Officer also and I concur with the above. There has been a seismic shift in honesty and integrity in law enforcement and the justice system since I retired 20 years ago. I have even been 'loaded up' as a VICTIM of crime, so that Police could avoid doing the job they are paid to do.
Try and complain and it becomes worse still. The rot goes all the way to the top. I now advise people when spoken to by Police about anything at all, to record everything, and say absolutely nothing. Your name and address when stopped driving or riding a motor vehicle in NSW is all you are obliged to say, or speak into a roadside breath test.
Advise Police you are recording them, and leave it at that. After spending my adult life in a career in law enforcement, I never thought that I would one day be ashamed to admit my former employment.
I took legal advice on trying to clear my name on the COPS Event System and I was told it would cost me my home, so I would be better off changing my name and moving interstate or overseas. Great result for a victim of crime.

As an ex-copper, I can tell you that sometimes police lie about wanting to search your car, by saying things like "You car fits a description of a car from a break-in" Thing to remember is many people will abide by the search because they know they havent stolen anything, however, if a cop says something to that effect, the idea would be to have them provide you with the police PROMIS number of the Break-in so you can veryify that he is telling the truth, if he will not provide you with that information, he has pulled you over arbitrarily and has committed an offence. Never submit to any search unless the police can prove they have reasonable suspicion.
PROMIS is only used by the Australian Federal Police.
(Who don't typically pull over random motorists).

I had one that went a bit like this,
Cop:- "Do you know what speed you were doing?",
Me:- "Couldn't have been more than 80km's"
Cop:-" In a 60 zone?"
Me:- " 80 zone, unless that last sign is wrong"
The zone was 80 coming from my direction (leaving town, his was 60 but that was approaching town), turns out he was just nabbing people to fill his quota.
What ive used all my life and once being interviewed at a police station was ,my name address and date of birth then NO COMMENT.
All nonsense rubbish based on ignorance of the fact that there are no permanent speed zones anywhere in Australia with different limits in opposing directions. Sounds good as a story but it's just rubbish. (Temporary road work limits are an exception)
Cool story bro but total bullshit!

"at all other times drive to the conditions" meaning common sense drive slower in heavy traffic and later at night when road is empty you can travel quicker
I once was pulled over, the officer said "Do you know you were over the speed limit, Have you been drinking." So I said "yes" knowing I would pass any tests. It almost looked like a 'light bulb moment' in sargent plods eyes (there was a quite notable change in his tone) "Ah drink driving procedure", so he got out his breathalyser and went through that procedure, after finding me clear, he sent me on my way - as per his procedure - completly forgetting the speeding offence.
Best answer I've ever given to a cop, saved me a packet.
Honestly when being pulled over for RBT/drinking I will always say I had something to drink earlier with the last meal of the day. They do their RBT, I pass and they send me on my way no more questions 9 times out of 10. I guess it's a red herring, makes them feel like they achieved something.

I got randomly stopped by police three weeks ago while I was operating a motor vehicle in a safe manner on a public road. The cop tried to engage me in an involuntary conversation and he asked me numerous questions about my day. I did not speak to him at all. I did provided my drivers licence, submitted to a breath test and a drug test. When that was all finished with the cop just stood there staring at me with a quizzical look on his face, so I started my car and drove away. I was there for at least 10 minutes and I did not say a single word to him the entire time.
FTP!
Couple of years back they pursued me down my driveway to my property. There was a random breath test ahead. Apparently, I was avoiding it by going home. They would never admit when they are wrong. Pigs.
Your mistake was you gave them the drivers licence , so you agreed to be the trustee of the Estate in your All caps name , which is not you . Your or the drivers licence is not you and does not identify you , your name is only the Christian name John Henry , not John Henry Doe . Once you agree to be the legal name you have agreed to be a legal fiction .

Up to you what you choose to do but friendly conversation is a good thing. If anything your silence and attitude made him suspicious or “quizzical” as you say.

I have a great answer for when you get pulled over and get asked “Why are you nervous!?”
“Well when was the last time you pulled someone over and said “I’ve observed your great driving today, so we’re going to add 1 point to your licence - you’ll now have 13 available, and $186 will be deposited in your your account by the 15th of this month!” I would say ‘Never’ correct?”
I am amazed how the focus has become on issuing fines rather than safety. Education is now about profit than teaching, health is about costs rather than health at the same time Governments are about lining their pockets rather than leading.
It's more along the lines of "public corporation policies over community" - there was a lawsuit in the 1920s I think it was, in America, that was successful in suing a business saying they should have put profits over corporate responsibility to the community. That set the tone for American (and thus most other publicly traded) businesses ever since. I wish that lawsuit hadn't succeeded.
Were it not for that, I doubt we'd be in the 'profits before community' stage of economic development.
I used to think the common trope of a cop trying to reach a quota was just a joke, but it appears to be a reality.
@MiniLuv-1984 I always ran via the education is king. That is how the "attitude test" came about. If you deny you did something wrong when I try to educate you, I guess you need a ticket to convince you".
This is what I taught my pros. Gds don't give many tickets. Those are the cops you will generally interact with.
@@MattExzy it is not. Highway patrol kinda. But no quota

Australia needs a really good video on what grounds they can stop you and ask identity. What's the difference between detain and arrest. And everything else you need to know in order to be able to go about your ordinary business in public without being harassed stalked or assaulted and kidnapped by snots in uniform

In Queensland you could read the relevant sections of the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act and answer ALL of your questions in a few minutes of reading. It is freely available on line. Other States would have similar legislation.
The simple answer is dont commit crime, dont cause trouble for other people, dont be a rude and obnoxious dickhead, dont hang around the street drunk or stoned, dont hoon around in cars and endanger other people, dont hang around with people that do these things, and you will rarely speak with police (probably almost never). If you do speak with police for routine things like traffic stops, just be courteous and comply with any lawful directions.
On the other hand, if you are being a dick and a public nuisance, or committing crime regularly, OF COURSE police will speak with you regularly!
Most people in Australia who claim that police harass them all the time are probably serial public nuisance dickheads, or they bait the police, or they are legit criminals committed to a criminal lifestyle. You need to take a long hard look at yourself and ask, "Am I a serial dickhead?" 98% chance you are, you just dont know it. The other 2%, well perhaps police are doing the wrong thing.
I don't get this "I don't have to show you identification' shit you see Americans pulling. Who cares? Where's the advantage in not complying with a reasonable request and pissing them off. It's like you're trying to force them to charge you with something. How about not BEING an arsehole so you don't get treated like one? Being reasonable and polite has got me out of a lot of shit over the years. I'll be free to go while the guy next to me who did the same thing gets locked up, happened many a time!
The short answer is to be perfectly polite and don't give them probable cause... If requested, you are required to state your name and home address. If when driving, you are also required to produce your driver's license. You are required to follow reasonable directions - and if arrested are expected to comply, and there are no grounds for them using force if you are compliant. In all this, you are not required to answer any questions - although they will ask, and it is sometimes advantageous to point out important information that might help you. You are NOT required to be a witness for your own prosecution.
Be very mindful that anything you do say, could - and probably will be used to build a case against you. Even if it's true, and innocent - if it can be presented in such a manner that makes you seem unreliable or dishonest - or could contradict something said later, or by another person - or used to build a case for motive. There are many ways you can be caught with your own words.
Q: do you know why i stopped you
A: yep, you wanted to get your sales target of tickets for the week.
Cops are just mobile revenue collectors.
No .. Don't be funny with them or the topic. I don't answer questions. By saying this, even when they greet you with Hello, how are you today. I don't answer questions. I tells them immediately your on solid ground and they are getting nothing. Your interactions will be over almost immediately.

Years back, I cut a corner turning right into a narrow side street, I was half on the right side of the street, and had to swerve away from a cop coming the other way- he was half on my side and was swerving away too. I continued a couple hundred metres and stopped in front of my mate's place, noticing the cop doing a u-turn. He stopped and was pulling his book out while walking to me. He said "You nearly hit me, you were on the wrong side of the road." I said "So were you." He mumbled something for a minute, put his book back, and drove off!

It's hilarious because when I was 17, I got pulled over and they asked me all of those questions and to the searching one I said that they could go for it if they wanted to. They spent the next hour searching my car for no reason while I just stood there and watched. It was the biggest piece of crap car you'd ever know.
While they were searching my car, my mate drives past in his car unlicensed, uninsured. An hour later they let me go with nothing. Maybe they were bored?
Bored and also nasty pieces of work
You must not have had much to do either hanging around there for an hour.
You should’ve driven a panel van in the late 70’s early 80’s. Was pulled over and searched every weekend…….🤦♂️🤦♂️. Didn’t know it but the previous owner enjoyed the coochie and left a bag under the drivers seat. The cops never found it… only reason I did cause I wrote it off, then wrecked it out!😢😢
as teens, we drove a mate home.
no dash lights, flicking a lighter to see the speedo as they tailed us, ffs...
finally pulled over, pouring rain...

They pull you over for Revenue and Quota obligations
When I was young my mum got pulled over on suspicion of having potatoes or vegetables or something in her car. The cops threw all our possessions all over the side of the road and drove off, leaving my mum in tears and spending over 1 hour repacking our holiday belongings. That left a lasting impression on small children and all cops are treated poorly for life now.
Are you joking or not? There is nothing illegal about veggies (or was there?), so were they just being pricks?
@@quatermass8 There are restrictions on taking fresh fruit and vegetables into certain areas, but these checkpoints are usually not manned by police, so it is unusual for cops to do this work, unless you blew past the checkpoint and they called the cops on you, which would be my guess.

A cop on his way to work in his own private car flew into a roundabout while I was already in it and nearly hit my rear so I gave him the finger and brake checking him cos he was within inches of my rear for about 1 klm and he pulled me over in plain clothes threatening me with a list of traffic offences. Long story short, he said a fine will be posted out. I very loudly argued with him saying he was pretending to be a cop, no badge or uniform. I actually received the fine and took it court. When at court he did not turn up and the excuse was the printer was not working at the police station and the case was thrown out within 2 minutes. He knew he was in the wrong and on a power trip but if your in the right, stand up to them and go to court.
What an imagination!

@@wellybobs4403 I elected to go to court and he did not turn up to court.

I got pulled over by a female officer with attitude, who, tried to stooge me into opening my bonnet. That's considered a 'search'. I said no! She got bent out of shape, and claims she could arrest me if I did not comply. I replied... Unless you have a warrant for my arrest, have reasonable suspicion I have committed a crime, or I'm about to commit a crime, then arresting me because I legally refused a search, would be an unlawful arrest. Most police like to act like their in charge. When the table are turned, they don't know how to handle it. Name, address and DOB, is all they can legally ask for. The rest... "NO COMMENT!"

I had a Gabriel 'Fluffy' Enriquez moment a couple of years back. I'd picked up Krispy Kreme donuts and other items for my parents for a family get together and when the cop asked me if I knew why he'd pulled me over I held the donuts up and said "Because you could smell them?" He had to walk away for a moment and I could see him trying to get hold of himself. He was still chuckling a bit when he walked back to the car.
He'd pulled me over because I was 'driving too slow' while others were speeding past me - I was driving my sister in law's car as she'd parked me in and was just being careful in an unfamiliar vehicle. Driving under the speed limit when others were going past it was cause for concern, he breathalyzed me then sent me on the way. Not a joke I'd pull with the Highway Patrol.
Thank you for a very useful video.
I've been stopped by the police a few times in the last nearly sixty years of driving in all states of Australia, and the Northern Teritory, but I can't remember being asked any of these specific questions.
Not all my interactions with police were with officers who were completely honest and straight forward.
I can well believe that there are a few officers who would try this sort of trickery.
The police will have "reasonable suspicion" if you hold a firearms licence. Sadly, I think having such a licence opens a lot of doors for the police...because their default setting is: _if you have a firearms licence, they just haven't caught you yet_ ,...despite the vast majority of firearms licence holders are law-abiding citizens.
That's not reasonable suspicion of a crime.
If they had a report of gun fire by someone fitting your description in a car like yours, that's a RAS.
Or if you made an admission that you had been using outside of conditions (a club).
Whereas you can't say the same for the vast majority of cops
When you have a firearms licence you are treated differently, more like a criminal...been there

I was pulled over at 7am on the way home from a 16 hour double night shift about 5 minutes from home.
I got out of the car and I'm clearly in my work overalls with company logo and name tag.
The cop said "why are your eyes red?"
And I said, 'probably because I've spent 16 hours working inside a aircraft fuel tank.'
He got really annoyed, told me i was being stroppy and gave me a lecture but finally let me go when i said i just wanted to go to bed.
P plates are a absolutely magnetic for cops even when you haven't done anything.

Years ago I got pulled over on the Hume for speeding. They asked if they could search my car. I said No. They grabbed my arm and yanked me from the car and said they could. They found a bong and I ended up in court. I told the judge what happened, there was a look in her eye but that was about it. I asked for a "56A exemption" and basically got off with a warning.
Do you know why I stopped you? I dont answer questions. Its nothing personal or against cops, I just dont answer questions. Do you know how fast you were going? Please refer to the first answer. Can I search your car? Officer, if you have a search warrant you can definately search my car, until then no. Be polite but resolute. Answer no questions because you are not required by law to, and they will twist anything you do say to suit themselves. Criminals have walked free from murder charges because they refused to answer anything the cops ask them. If they are asking questions it means they don't know anything and are fishing for an admittance of guilt.
Correct. I’m not discussing my day works too.
Eventually you will have to tell them you wish to remain silent after they persist with a barrage of questions or persuasive techniques
If you are going to answer questions it's best to think carefully about the answers you give.
In the first instance if you say "no I don't know why you stopped me" and the police have observed you doing something wrong they can say you were driving distracted etc. A better answer would be " For a random breath test ".
And your speed is always "within the speed limit" .
They ask when you speed has been estimated by observation not measured by a radar gun or similar.
Mr Inbetween aye, best Aussie show ever
@@andrewwatson5360 It's just safer to not answer questions at all. If you answer they can twist it around to suit them now or later in court. If you don't answer they have nothing to do but let you go, unless someone has witnessed you doing something wrong, or they have irrefutable proof you did something wrong. If they are asking questions they don't know anything. If they did they would just put handcuffs on you and drag you off to jail.
@@manicmasterofmetal2620 Th as t is up to you but no answering or being uncooperative can quickly escalate a simple traffic stop into a situation you cannot reverse from and if you end up in a court it will be stated that you acted suspiciously.
If there are no independent witnesses to the interaction it becomes your word against the police so you have to ensure that you don't provide any ammunition to use against you and refusing to answer reasonable questions is one sure way to do it.
They have a job to do and your demeanor plays a big part in their decision making when it comes to just letting you go or taking things further.
In my slightly irresponsible youth many decades ago there was much less oversight of police, no body cams, no radar guns and much less training in legal niceties so the cops had a fairly free reign when out on the road.
So you had to be able to talk your way out of things at times if you were an enthusiastic driver.
Playing the legal richessness card didn't work as it was usually just you and the cop who often had a mate. If they said you did it and they wanted to take it further than you did it !
So with my mouth I managed to get off scott free at times, with a warning at other stops or with a much lesser fine on others. I didn't ever lose my licence or end up in court even though I was driving powerful cars and big motorbikes.
I was always polite, respectful and friendly and if my bullshit was obviously not going to work carefully admitted to a milder version of the events that occurred.
Back in the 70s it was like the wild west and being belligerent and refusing to answer questions was asking for trouble.
Things have changed but not that much so it's better to be prepared with good non committal answers than raising suspicions by "exercising your rights ".
You're in a power imbalance and you are on the light end with minimal means to influence an outcome in your favour.
Always ask for a copy of the recording before taking the matter to court. Thay have to provide it, and in many cases it will be inconsistent with the reasons they have issued the fine. I had one Officer impound a mates car. In the recording he stated to my mate that he had raved his engine out as he took off, but when he called a Sergeant to get authorisation to impound the car, he stated that he had witnessed him doing a burnout as he took off. Two very different things. The sergeant could only go by the lie he was told because he didn't witness it himself. Needles to say, my mate got his car and license back when the judge reviewed the recording in court, along with compensation for expenses he had incurred during the time without his car and license. The worst part though, three different lawyers told him to plead guilty because there was nothing he could do about it. They teach us how to fight for justice in law school, then law firms teach how to take the easiest road to a client's pockets.
Lawyers are about money, not justice. However, they will defend a client they know is guilty and try to get them off if they are given enough money. Daniel Keneally is a perfect example of this and he was a cop.
I learned - the HARD WAY - lawyers do NOT have your interests at heart. (Perhaps they were trained with the same philosophy as stockbrokers - their "job" is to take money from the clients pocket and put it in theirs). The great "Freedom Fighting" lawyer in South Australia said he was going to take on the covid vax mandates. Despite the fact I ONLY worked from home with zero contact, was on approved long service leave AND had a legit vax exemption at the time, I was SACKED from my career. What did the lawyer do? Took money from me, submitted an unfair dismissal claim AFTER the deadline had elapsed, told me I'd LOSE because I couldn't pay hundreds of thousands for an "expert witness", and withdrew unfair dismissal. He did NOT withdraw his fees and charges.
If you've had say, for example a DUI conviction from 20 plus years ago. You can expect to be pulled over in the evening, say always after 9pm for an RBT. Their computer screen will indicate that, and it could be their lucky night. There's nothing like repeat business.
Thats not true.

Love to see a vid relating to ID. How and when to privide it during traffic stop and also on the street. What "produce" means. Do i have to hand it over or just show it. Do i have to give police my phone if i have a digital licence (nsw). Can I refuse to be searched if i haven't committed an offence etc😊
I haven't looked at NSW laws, but in Vic you definitely only have to show your licence and the digital version has a QR code to be read by some device the officer has. VicRoads explicitly says for drivers to keep their phones at all times.
@markdotcomau 1. If you hold it up and keep holding it so they can read it and take down the details that is fine.
You don't have to give your phone. Just hold it up as above.
You can refuse to be searched but police (nsw) have powers that don't necessarily have to do with you committing an offence
Good advice, thanks for the video mate. Instant subscribe. I look forward to more sterling advice from you in the future.

Good video. It is worthwhile thinking about these things before finding yourself in this situation.
Definitely, the definition of being prepared.
I would never ever let the police search my car because of the possibility of them planting something in it. I got pulled over for absolutely no reason whatsoever back when I was living in greater Sydney 8 years ago. I had broken absolutely no laws whatsoever - road related or otherwise. The officer did the ubiquitous breath test which provided the legal excuse for pulling me over. Then they launched into a long fishing expedition that went on for 20 plus minutes. It is a long story but for brevity, I made an official complaint to the police the next day and it was settled. As a matter of fact, the conduct of that officer was worse than what I stated in my complaint however I had no proof of some of their subsequent conduct so I could not include it in the complaint. This included them hiding away in a side street and subsequently pursuing me from a distance thinking I was too stupid to know I was being tailed. The purpose of that was to give them an excuse (in their criminal corrupt mind) to arrest me since they had asked me where I was headed back when they were illegally detaining me. I was actually headed back home but had decided I will pull off into a McDonalds for a bathroom break and a meal. But when I saw them pursuing me once again from a distance I decided to keep driving straight home. In hindsight perhaps I should have gone to the McDonalds since I would then definitely had taken the State of NSW to court for wrongful detention, wrongful arrest and assault by a police officer. But since I drove straight home I was merely prepared to sue for wrongful detention had there been no settlement to my satisfaction. But I will tell you - that officer should not be in the police force. The lawless Wild West ceased to exist for very sensible and humane reasons and we should not see individual officers playing corrupt town sheriff.

Hello all, the issue with traffic offences in NSW and questioning by police is technically that anything said by you is not admissible at court if you have not received an official caution that being, "I am going to ask you some questions, you do not have to say or do anything you do not want to, but anything you do say will be recorded and may be used as evidence at court at a later stage. Do you understand this?" All police in NSW wear Body Worn Cameras (BWV), in particular members of the "Highway Patrol" so when the officer approaches your vehicle and asks you questions such as stated by the host of this channel be aware that you are more than likely being recorded which should be the first words spoken to you by the officer, "I am recording sound and audio". Therefore my first question to the officer if he hasn't already advised you would be, "Before I choose to answer any questions are you recording sound and audio?" if answered yes, "Simply say, "As I am being recorded I choose not to answer". Remember supply your licence, legally you must and ensure your vehicle is registered. Traffic is a complex matter so supply your licence and you have complied with the law. Remeber these examples are for minor traffic offences only such as speeding, fail to indicate etc. If you are involved in a serious matter such as causing a death due to your alleged driving then you would receive the caution but remain silent, it is your right under law.
.
Remember be polite,don't be a smart arse and don't lose your cool, it doesn't work. Have your drivers licence with you, ensure your car is registered to be driven on the road in the first place and if told you will be receiving an infringement notice in the mail simply ask, "Okay, may I ask you what the alleged offence is?" and leave it at that, nothing more. The next point would be that some magistrates in NSW state or believe that regarding traffic offences it is not a requirement to receive a caution yet some do, this would have to be clarified by you or your solicitor. If in doubt seek legal advice. Drive safe and courteous everyone.
In Queensland, and probably every state in Australia, if police want to question you about an INDICTABLE offence they must give you your rights and warnings (ie right to silence, right to contact lawyer, right to contact friend or relative), and if they fail to do so the recording is not admissable as evidence in a court case. For a non indictable offence ( Simple offence), such as traffic offences, an interview without the warnings will probably be admissable as evidence in a court case. The judge MAY rule the interview as inadmissable as evidence, but PROBABLY WILL admit it as evidence. If you answer ANY question at a traffic stop, regadless of rights and warnings not having been given, you should assume it will be used as evidence!
@@djhogan65 yep because the caution is in regards to official questioning about criminal offences.
Traffic offences are not criminal offences.
@@glennmorrissey2529 being polite doesn't work either
@@glennmorrissey2529 you are confused, the caution is for criminal matters, not traffic matters, no caution required for traffic matters. If the traffic matter could turn into a criminal matter police will caution prior to questioning, such as interviewing for a fatal accident. If you are being cautioned you know you are in deep trouble. Being polite does not really help you, it only makes it easier for you to be convicted,
Sorry Mr Prep, worked in the cops for a long time. The example regarding the caution is from Sutherland Court. The magistrate has the final say. Yes, it’s for criminal offences but if police are ever unsure where the matter is headed, throw in a caution, can’t hurt and there is no law against it. In the end produce your licence and be respectful and if there is nothing to hide you will have no worries whatsoever. If you have issues in your car, prohibited items etc, well, your choice. Perhaps the police will have reasonable cause to search your car and then your off on another tangent. My tip, keep your car registered, your licence valid and stay happy.
I have lived through all these questions. This is what I learnt.
1) Do you know why I pulled you over? umm your bored?
If you let them search your car it is possible they may plant evidence in it for later use. I have heard many stories about police and have seen them in action so unfortunately I don't trust them. Also when one of them was talking to me I think she was trying to find out if I was under the influence by the sound of my voice. It is sad but you need to be VERY careful when dealing with them.
Cops don't need reasonable suspicion to breathalyser you in Australia. They just do it anyway
You may have heard many false stories.
Yep, it's always bullshit stories from a mate of a mate. If you're suspected of being under the influence you would be subject to a preliminary breath test. If you take legal advice from the bozo running this channel, good luck in court.

@@markinglese3874 thanks for the comment 👍👍
I did this, the cop got pissed, defected me for everything under the sun. moral of the story, they will win regardless, pointless to piss them off trying to be a youtube lawyer
I don’t understand, answering his questions politely pissed him off? Willing to bet there is much more to this story. For a car to be detected it must be unroadworthy, pretty easy to prove either way if you were defected unfairly.
That’s so true. Haha.
I’ve gotten out of a ticket (proper speeding) by being humble, genuinely remorseful, and being extremely polite.
The cops (two) gave me a scolding, and let me go.
It was like a surreal dream.
But then again, I was also a young student. (Not sure if it mattered)
Mate of mine got cut off by an old woman diving from the outside lane into a parking spot. Gave her the finger and a mouthful, drove off. Turns out she's the local Sergeants missus. Two days later he's parked outside the local milk bar, cop pulls up, slaps something on his windshield and drives off. Defect notice, about 20 long. First defect? No windshield. Went to the local RTA, showed them, the inspector there took it off, told him not to worry. Never heard another word.
I 100% agree that you shouldn't take Australian legal advice from US RUclips videos. But, I would go so far as to say you shouldn't take legal advice from ANY RUclipsr. Maybe I've had a charmed life, but the last time I was stopped by Police they told me that their ANPR system had reported my registration had expired the day before. It was my father's car, so I was completely unaware (as I explsined). They definitely COULD have breached my right there and then and left me stranded. But they didn't. They suggested that I drive straight home and sort the rego online, which I thought was very fair. No doubt there are over zealous cops out there who try to get a pinch no matter what. But (in my experience) polite and honest responses are a good strategy. Just my 2c worth.
@@Mike620628 Sounds like a strange story as the cops actually broke the law doing what they did. There is no discretion on unregistered vehicle and not knowing is no excuse, it's your responsibility as a driver of ANY vehicle to check the roadworthiness and registration status of any car you drive, it's a literal 15 second process to see if the car is registered. The cops letting you drive away in an unregistered car would be a criminal offence on their part and a breach of their duty of care. Imagine if you had an accident on the way home, they could go to prison, it seems extremely strange that they were willing to take such a risk for a total stranger.
If you say NO to a search, you best bet they will make up something.
Do a video on Police and your rights in your own home. As in are they allowed to come straight in or can you say NO? Cheers!
The best answer is to say "As you have asked permission to search the car, you admit to having no probable cause/reason to search and as such, I deny consent to any search". This makes it much harder for them to "fabricate" grounds for a search during the stop.
Hello Goofy, police can only enter without permission when there is a concern for someone’s welfare such as hearing domestic violence occurring. The second is if they have a search warrant which they will read to you and give you what is called an Occupiers Notice but usually related to bigger issues, prohibited drugs, guns etc.
@julietharty1965 all a cop has to say is they thought they heard someone scream or something inside the house....bingo Bangor there's the probable cause no warrant needed and all things discovered are now admissible in court
@@julietharty1965 In VIC, SA & NSW they can search people, cars, businesses and homes without warrants as laws were changed years ago. All they have to do is personally believe that there might be something illegal there, or that something illegal is happening and they're free to search. Also, if you or anyone at the address has a firearm licence, a fishing licence or boat licence, the general conditions (as written in the laws, not on the licences) permit the police to search those places without warrants.
@@matthewnirenberg Hi Matt, that information is incorrect I believe, it's still the old "a mans home is his castle". The law in New South Wales is that police cannot enter a persons property without a search warrant, it hasn't changed. If police came to my door asking to enter I can allow this, if I do not want them to enter they must obtain a search warrant to do so which has to be vetted by a registrar or magistrate. There are a number of reasons why they can enter without a warrant mostly to prevent a breach of the peace to stop or assist someone being injured, generally it's all related to DV offences. I police for twenty five years and left two years ago and it hasn;t changed. There are firearms prohibition orders which allow entry but those circumstances are different. At the end of the day Mr. PREPPER was all doom and gloom about being stopped by cops over traffic matters. Produce your licence, keep your vehicle registered and whether you decide to talk or not who cares, there are way more things to do in life that worry about the police and traffic stops. Best of luck to you and your family.
Thanks mate
Keep em coming, this kind of education is always useful; not for illegal reasons but so we are armed with useful information.

As a young fella, I was ticketed by a Traffic Officer using the "New Radar" system that they had just introduced for doing 70mph in a 50mph zone. I explained that I was in a hurry trying to get to a bus which was to take me and my car-load to an out-of-town work function so that we didn't have to drink and drive. The Cop was extremely excited, saying that I was the first he had caught on the new radar and that I could go and he would post the ticket out. Now in those days, the Cop had to recalibrate the radar in front of you by using a tuning fork and then to confirm the recorded speed. He never did that! When the ticket arrived, I went to his Commanding Officer and explained to him that he didn't have a case - pointed out the errors in procedure. The old Cop, thought about it for a while and then started to tear up the ticket while saying that the Cop won't make that mistake again. I turned to walk out the office, feeling very relieved and quite proud of myself. As I opened the door the old Cop called out "By the way, what speed were you going???" Quick as a flash, I replied "I think the Traffic Officers estimation is a gross exaggeration" and continued walking out. The cunning old bugger tried at a time when I was most vulnerable, to get me to incriminate myself - fortunately, even as a teenager, I was up to his trick.
Love these stories and good onya.
Tuning fork.......?? Huh?!
Yeah that's bullshit. The tuning fork is used at the start of the shift to check the system works. Police don't calibrate them, it's a specialist job and radars are sent away to the experts for calibration. So you my friend, are full of shit.
I remember being pulled over for a random breath test. I live in Bathurst, and this was during race time, so I was gifted lights and a siren bleep. I had a six pack of beer on the passenger seat. Now, I've never drunk and driven, I've never even had a parking ticket, but this cop 110% thought he had me. I just wish I could've taken a photo when the breath tester read zero. But I don't read too much into cops, I dare say that most of the time they're just bored.
Love to know more about the car searching - You say no, wouldnt they say why not are you hiding something? Thanks for the video.
The alternative to saying no is standing on the side of the road for 30 minutes while total strangers spread your belongings out on the nature strip. Saying no is normal, what’s suspicious about not wanting your privacy invaded and your personal belongings gone through by total strangers.
Interesting video. Would appreciate more videos on similar topic.
to answer police on the topic of searching your vehicle, "what are your suspicions to warrant asking that question, sir/mam" if they then push harder then respond with another question, "do I have the right to refuse" and if they say yes, then you can say "thank you for informing me on my rights, based on your information I would politely like to exercised my right to refuse, but happy for you to inspect outside my vehicle to ensure i am compliant with roadworthiness"
make sure you know the speed limit because they will ask you what it is in the current section and the section they claimed to be monitoring you. You can say "i follow the signed speed limit I dont remember every section ive been in
@@CFox.7 best not to get into that conversation, you are not obliged to answer any questions 👍
My brother got pulled over in the mid 1970s & was booked for 5 bald tyres, the cop only looked at the 4 on the car & when my brother said why did you book me for 5 bald tyres the cop said if these 4 are bald the one in the boot will be also.
Thank you, Mr Perry, Sir well explained thanks for your service to the community too top job tough job
I always kept my truck looking like a garbage bin, never had a cop wanting to go looking through that mess 😂🤣
That’s one way to do it
Good little video. As a former police officer I must admit you're pretty much on the mark. One thing I should mention is that if you're obviously doing well over the speed limit (like 20+ over, especially in moderate traffic) if you say you thought you were doing the speed limit, the "impaired" bells start ringing. Officially cops don't profile, but in the reality they do, and it makes sense to. Are you going to pull over a granny in a Hyundai, or a P-Plater in an old bomb full of kids? I only spent three years in general duties, but you do meet a lot of stupid drivers, especially those with outstanding warrants or in the midst of an active crime. You also meet a lot of good, intelligent people whose memory lapse caught our attention. At the end of the day, if you have a decent driving history, just be polite and take responsibility for your actions. If you honestly believe the infringement was unjust, take it to court-that's what it's for. Getting pulled over shouldn't stress you out.
"Pullover!"

Nice to have a distinction on Australian rights with traffic cops. Some tool was passing and spotted a marked car in the mix so used his horn to warn others. Cop thought it was me & pulled me over, claiming illegal use of car horn. I demonstrated my horn & passenger female cop said it didn't sound like that but lead cop then says well you were speeding which was also BS but he gave me a fine. Never trusted the pricks since.
Thanks for the heads up.

My car was searched years ago, took them over an hour, even took the door trims off. Then left me on the side of the road with it dismantled. Never thought a good thought of them since.
They often also ask “have you had anything to drink this evening?”
Why do they never specifically ask about drinking alcohol, people drink water all day long.
I got pulled up after driving out of a pub car park where I was doing a part time job.
First question "have you been drinking tonight" answer "no working, had some water I guess"
Checked breath test, licence, rego etc claimed their IPad was down so they would contact me later if they found anomalies, to which I laughed. The asked what was so funny. I said "you have probably pulled over the most compliant person for 1000 square kilometers. I have had had multiple police checks , multiple Defence security checks, and have valid rego and licences always" A giant WOFTAM for exiting a pub after 10PM.
I answered honestly.. "Yes, but I stopped a couple of hours ago."

Hi, thank you for sharing your unsight. Are you able to tell me where I can learn more about the police's responsibilities and mine? For instance, I'm told that if a police car has a light out, it is not roadworthy and the officers cannot book you, likewise if they don’t have their hat on as they are out of uniform. I'd love a source of information that could confirm, or otherwise, this information and explain other things I need to know or be aware of. Thanks again
🤣Those are urban legends that Sovereign Citizens clowns come up with, a cop can book you wearing their pyjamas riding a tricycle with two flat tyres. Best sources would be legal web sites and official police web sites, police handbook if you can get hold of it. Or do a criminal law course at university, but that might be taking it too far. 🤣 This could be another great video topic.

The police in England have strict knife laws, if they find a knife on you they will ask you , would you consider this knife a weapon? If you say yes , you are carrying a concealed weapon. Instead, lawyers advise saying, "No, it is a tool or an implement "for opening parcels or cutting string.

Now subscribed, thank-you. Someone I know (lol) learned the correct responses to these questions 30 years ago. Pulled over many times during that time and every time and has been let off with a "warning". (speeding / illegal turn / not give way / disobey stop sign etc). I would assume that if you are done by a fixed camera you are toast unless you have not had a ticket in the previous 10 years - (where you can claim leniency without attending court due to your exemplary driving record). He done that one too - red light camera. P.S. - This only works if you have been licensed in the same state for the 10 years prior to the offence, and not for serious offences. Cheers.
Bloody awesome mate got ya self a new sub from Perth WA
Welcome aboard! Thanks for the sub and comment
On my way to work a cop driving along side directed me to pull over , we were on a busy road so i turned into a side street and stopped , the cop got out of his car and pointed his pistol at me whist leaning on the bonnet of his vehicle, his claim for this action was that i fired a gun in my car or turned off and on my car to create a huge backfire , i did neighter...he settled down after 5min & then drove ...i contacted a Sargent at his station who i knew & he told me not to report the incident as the said officer's partner was shot
a week before & he was unhinged, wow , why was he working at all ,
I didn't report that incident, on reflection I should have
Always record the police
I had an encounter with an off-duty absolute PSYCHOPATH. Similar rationale applied - "don't report it" - relatives who lived on the same street feared retribution.
Hahahaha reasonable suspicion. I'm yet to meet a female officer that hasn't said I smell marijuana right after you say no.

This works if you have a female and male,im 6,7 120 bit wild history but I get straight out start talking to the female like at a night club but I totally ignore the male wont engage him at all I just hammer her with smiles flirts ,this has happened many times it throws him right of cause I pretend he just not there if he speaks i answer her,while being on heat talking to her fay skinny they love it. followed by I demand you search me bae but 9nly you.still not been searched yet using this method

Glad you enjoyed it
This is great legal advice. Thanks. I haven't got pulled over too much because I don't speed very often - unless I'm being careless. If I do get pulled over I cop the fine because I was in the wrong. If the rozzers want to look in my car that's ok too - I carry nothing of any interest.
Here's a true story from a long long time ago. My brother and his friend driving along a country road to go surfing. They smoked weed all the time. My brother was driving and as he pulled over thinking well we are done here. They coppers asked them both to step out, and then proceeded to strip search the car. He said they tore out everything and searched really thoroughly finding nothing. They then got back in their police car and drove off. The boys packed all their gear back in the car and put the surfboards back up on the racks. They then got back in the car and he was just about to drive off when his mate said "oh wait a tick". He opened the passenger door, reached under the car and retrieved the stash. He had calmly flipped it under the car as they alighted the vehicle. The boys in blue never bothered to check the road under the car. Staying cool & calm is always wise.😉
LOL!!.Outstanding!
Many, many years ago a dope head mate would tell the tale of being pulled over by a cop just outside a country town. He said he was polite and helpful as possible and when the cop asked to search his car he let him. "Mind if I have a cig while I wait?" he asked and the cop said 'Go ahead." So he reached in, got his tobacco pouch from the dash and stood to one side. He said he rolled a cigarette, put the pouch in his shirt pocket, and smoked his cig while watching the cop look through the car. The cop found nothing and sent him on his way, and he tossed his tobacco pouch that also contained a foil of dope back on the dash.
Postscript: Some years later he rolled his car into a creek speeding while DUI (and probably also ripped) and drowned in 12 inches of water. Ironically the water course was called Narcotic Creek.
