Don't have to be an attorney or leo to understand that admitting you did something wrong is a confession of guilt.

If they have any evidence, they'll use it.

Besides, the Constitution gives us the right to not help the government convict us if we commit a crime,
so it's always best to be nice but zip the lip and don't admit anything!

Bet that didnt get you out of the ticket.

I tell 'em "No, sir. I was too busy with my beer to pay attention to the speedometer."

I like to tell 'em "I wasn't speedin, I was qualifyin"

Then my reply is "Oh, I guess I can write it for as fast as I want..."

I've read this whole thing, and this is one thread for the books!

I believe we really should move this to "Off-Topic" just to give everyone a chance to vent...

I can picture in my mind a lot of folks just typing this stuff in and it just cracks me up...

BTW, I got pull over for breaking the speed limit on I-10 a week before I was laid off (horrible timing!) and the officer came up and identified himself to me...

"Good afternoon sir, I'm officer Bling-Bling with the Houston Police Department..."

I said, "No kidding!"

His reaction:

See...When you reside yourself to getting a ticket...It really goes a lot smoother...

What I need to do is not be such a pill, and learn to not pop off and keep my mouth shut...

A task which would appear to be impossible...

I appreciate when they do that; it keeps me from having to subtly try get them to give their name and department clearly for the voice recorder.

I wouldn't worry about it too much.......they have a pretty clear voice recording

Yes, well.........having the "right to remain silent" and having the "ability" to do so....can be two different things.

You'll learn eventually.

HPD doesn't have cameras in most of their cars.

I betcha many of them have a digital recorder in their shirt pocket and I don't blame them a bit.
