What are driver's rights?
|
When you get pulled over, assuming your car/license are up to date, and there is nothing illegal in the car, what are you legally obligated to give/tell the police officer?
Can you get arrested for not telling them your destination, or where you were coming from, why you were speeding
Hell, are you legally required to step out of the vehicle if they ask you to?
if not. What will they arrest you for?

You are under no obligation to tell them anything, but you and your passengers have to step out of the vehicle if requested. This was determined by the US Supreme Court in Maryland v. Wilson.
With that in mind, officers have a lot of discretion. Any lack of cooperation can easily turn a warning into a ticket.
Anything you do to interfere with the officer's ability to perform his job is usually charged as "obstruction". |

Strongly suggest that you do what is asked of you...
Firstly no COP just pulls some one over
for the Heck of it...there has to be a reason
for them to have pulled you over...
Could be that it is the Same Make and Color
car that was seen leaving a Crime Scene etc.
Believe me they have a lot more important
things to do then just pulling you over...
Also remember that Driving is a Privilege
"NOT A RIGHT"... |

If you were speeding, then they didn't pull you over for no reason. I believe if you fail to give them the information they ask for, you can be charged with failure to identify or obstruction of justice. I believe that you are also required to step out of your car, but I am not 100% sure about that one. |
