'Know why I pulled you over?' Fortunately, California police can't ask you that anymore
A new law requires officers to disclose the reason for traffic stops. It's a victory for law enforcement transparency, accountability and legitimacy.
You're viewing a single thread.
Do people usually give an answer to “Do you know why I pulled you over?” other than no?
Unless you have the ability to read minds how would you know why you were pulled over?
I guess if you wanted to be nice/polite you could say “No, officer.”
um, I think most driver do read their speed-o-meter.
So do I, but I could have a tail light out, maybe I’ve still got something hanging from my rearview, maybe a passenger isn’t wearing their seatbelt.
As others in the comments mentioned, police can usually find a number of reasons to make a stop. There’s really no reason to answer anything other than no to that question.
