Isn't it too bad that we have to resort to something like this. I can see it if you find yourself in a questionable situation. I know a few LE who most of the time are nice people just trying to do job. Under most normal situations, following such advice is not wise or necessary and might prolong your situation. Of course,if you are guilty........
Most of my experiences with LE have been bad.
I find most police are more than willing to lie, they are also quick to assume things.
1 example...
My now ex-wife and I were driving once home from a bar, she was driving because I had been drinking. We came up to a check stop - she had one or 2 drinks so she panicked and stopped about 100 metres in front of the check stop.
I told her she was ok and not to worry aobut it - when we got to the check stop the cop said "I seen you guys switch seats."
"You sir were driving."
It was an out and out lie - he couldnt have seen us switch seats because we didn't.
I could give you 2 other examples of police officers who have lied about my situation, abused their positions of power over me and just made my life hell.
And before you say "Well you probably deserved it." I can assure you the worst thing I have ever done is a few speeding tickets and parking tickets.
