of course it's an option. there are plenty of options.
i guess i would like to hear some firsthand accounts of that particular option- from people and LEOs.
Crikey. I forget some people on INGO don't have a sense of humor.

Your address does not have to be correct on a driver's license. Nor do you have to have the original signed copy of your registration in your vehicle. I can have a copy with a printed name in the signed portion that is noted that it's a copy.
I've been pulled over 6 times. 5 times they were fishing for BS and had nothing, nor did I allow them do fish. One time I admitted to doing 30 in a 20 (park in the dead of winter) so that we could hurry up and I could help my ill cousin move.
Nice try though.

Anyone sitting in the drivers seat of a stopped car and refusing to say anything is going to get some special treatment. Special treatment that a normal person would not get. I do not need someone to tell me they knew they were running 20 over to cite them. Or to cite them for unsigned registration, failure to change adress on their DL and that license plate light that is inop. Yea sit there like a doof and say nothing. Shezzz people.
Of course they would get special treatment. Don't ever be guilty of contempt of cop.
i'm sorry i missed the humor in your one statement post, written on an internet forum.
Thanks for your useful post; it has clearly contributed to conversation.
Most Americans are stupid beyond belief.
If a cop got arrested they wouldn't be talking either and you can take that to the bank.
I wasn't arrested, but I was brought in and read Miranda by my own department thanks to a report that I committed a major felony. I agreed to an interview and even took them to where the event supposedly took place so they could see the scene, identified witnesses for them, etc.
So, I broke the "shut your bacon hole" advise. Why? Because I knew the allegations were false, I knew I could show evidence that bolstered my side of the story, I knew I could identify other officers and civilians who were there and witnessed what actually happened. I knew that by staying silent I wasn't helping myself out, but my talking and laying that out for the investigation I was. I'd rather not be suspended and possibly arrested when I could immediately show why the allegation had to be false and then go on about my business.
(Side note, the person who made the report was mentally ill and apparently truly believed what they said happened. I was ready to sue the bejesus out of them until I found that out.)
THERE IS NO BLANKET RULE APPLICABLE TO EVERY SITUATION. Sometimes its in your best interest to talk. Sometimes its not. I know there's some folks on here who've used a firearm to defend themselves. I know some of those folks spoke with investigators and were released at the scene. Never had to hire a lawyer, never had to be processed, etc.
Bingo! Remaining silent is sound advice for the guilty. Not so much so for the innocent. Being silent makes one look guilty.
The right to not incriminate doesn't only kick in when you're in custody. That is simply one test the Court developed.
But if so, how about Lois Lerner, then? If not Mirandized yet, no right to not self-incriminate...
Being silent makes one look guilty.
Thanks to the Supreme Court’s decision in Salinas v. Texas, that part of the Bill of Rights has been excised
