us civil rights talk
Your civil rights may seem like just a concept until they're put to the test. Perhaps the most common situation in which Americans reach for their rights is during a traffic stop.
But what exactly are your civil rights during a traffic stop?
Consider this a civil rights cheat sheet of sorts. Here are five things you should remember about your civil rights during a traffic stop.

If you get caught eating cunny, what rights do you have?
1. You Do Not Have to Consent to a Search.
Police will often ask drivers and passengers who have been stopped for a traffic offense if they can search the vehicle. But without a warrant or probable cause, you do not have to consent to that search.
Law enforcement officers generally need a warrant or probable cause to search your vehicle, unless you give the officers your consent. Officers do not have to inform you that you have the right to say "no."
If you don't want to allow police to search your vehicle, be unequivocal and direct (but not rude or antagonistic); tell the officers that you will not consent to a search of the vehicle.
2. You Have the Right to Film/Record a Traffic Stop.
Although police officers may be recording the traffic stop with their dash cam, you have the First Amendment right to film an officer during a traffic stop.
Remember, you have the right to film, but this doesn't mean you can stall or interfere with an officer conducting his investigation. Shoving a camera or an iPhone in a cop's face may be enough to get you arrested for obstructing an officer.
If officers confiscate your phone or camera, or if they arrest you for recording your traffic stop, then it's probably time to get a criminal defense lawyer on your side.
I love you do you want to be friends?
The right to keep and bear (own and possess) arms.
No you really shouldn’t enter their jurisdiction in the first place.
3. Your Detention Must Be Reasonable in Length.
Pulling a vehicle over and detaining a vehicle on reasonable suspicion that the driver committed a traffic offense is entirely legal, but an officer cannot detain you indefinitely.
There is no magic number for how long is too long to be held for a traffic stop; often cops will detain drivers while running records checks on their license plates and IDs. But if it has been about 30 minutes since you were stopped, feel free to start your recording and ask the officer why you're still being detained.
4. You Can Decline to Answer Police Questions.
Whether you are detained on foot or in a car, you have the right to decline to answer police questions -- even the classic interrogatory, "Do you know why I pulled you over today?"
Practically, it would behoove you to cooperate with the police during a routine traffic stop (i.e., giving them your license and registration and remaining in your car without resisting). But you are under no obligation to answer police questions, especially ones unrelated to the traffic stop (e.g., "Where are you headed?" or "You have anything illegal in the car?").
5. You Can Request and Record Officer Information.
If you have any worries or complaints that your civil rights were violated during a traffic stop, you will need to know which officers were responsible for allegedly violating your rights.
You can always ask a police officer for her badge number during a traffic stop. Uniformed officers in states like California are required to display their badge numbers on their nameplate or badge.
Remember, your civil rights protect you even during a mundane traffic stop, and exercising them politely and calmly, without antagonizing officers, will never be to your detriment.

Learn the law before talking. Because you can be given a felony for giving legal advice without a license. What’s your law license id #?
You have the right to as much firepower as the governing power.
and? what is your point? you can post a link? get fucked.
OH MU GOD DID YOU INFORM THE MODERATORS OF THIS INTERNET FORUM. DO IT NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE.
OP is talking about civil rights not guns rights you fucking gun nuts. GTFO.
The right to self defense is a civil right!
Not while in a car. You'll get shot by a police officer in about 1 second when he sees the gun.
I watch youtubers who're prior/current cops, and they've consistently quoted Supreme Court rulings to back these statements. Regardless if you agree with these rulings, or are one of those Sov Tards who disagree on the entire basis of these laws, this is what's currently enacted:
During a traffic stop, a police officer has complete control/responsibility over everything that happens, specifically what the drivers he/she pulled over are doing.
So when a cop tells you to do something during a traffic stop, you MUST do it. There's no ifs, ands, or butts about this. If he tells you to shut off your car, or get out of your car, or tells your friends who aren't even driving to get out of your car, or wants to put you guys in cuffs while you sit on the dirt road messing up your Levis, you HAVE TO DO IT!
Note: If the cop does something disorderly, like order you to take off your pants so he can butt fuck you, technically you HAVE to do it, BUT 99% of the time WHEN you take that bullshit to court it WILL result in lots of negative consequences for the cop, you getting a fat settlement check, and possibly the entire potential crime you were pulled over for completely dropped. This is true, BUT during the actual stop, you HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING the cop tells you, no matter how pissed off you are, or how much you think the cop is racist/sexist/etc. That's what the Supreme Court has ruled, and there's nothing you can do about it.
When it comes to searching your car, however, the cop needs probable cause. To get this probable cause, they'll usually pull you out of the car, get a drug sniffing dog to sniff the outside of the car, and once the dog gives a signal that there's drugs in the car, it'll give them probable cause to then search it regardless how you feel.
Now you druggy nigga fuckos are going to get pissed, so I'll cite the Supreme Court case that allows cops to do this:
Pennsylvania Vs. Mimms
never talk to the police. NEVER.

>Pennsylvania vs Mimms was United States Supreme Court criminal law decision holding that a police officer ordering a person out of a car following a traffic stop and conducting a pat-down to check for weapons did not violate the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Uh, yeah. Totally gives police the right to ass rape you during a traffic stop. That isn’t a widely uneducated misreading of the majority opinion in the slightest.
someone with half a brain in here at least.
Cops aren't your friends, but niggers think they are the enemy which they aren't.
Cops are your adversary in that moment. A necessary part of a civilization.
>dont be a bootlicker
>but also dont be a nigger
Absolutely correct. You should never, ever, talk to the police. If the police during a traffic stop tells you to do something, like get out of the car, you have to.
I'm saying that it doesn't give them a right, but the ruling as been commonly used with respects to the cop during a traffic stop establishing a safe environment for himself. The resulting actions from that is pretty much you have to do whatever they tell you to do. Exceptions to this is you don't have to talk to the police, and you don't have to give consent to searches. If the police officer can justify to a court doing anything else to establish that safe environment, then he can do it.
Perhaps I should have explained that better. I just want to make sure dumbasses who think they can fight against a cop when they think they're wrong, simply because the cop wants you out of the car, won't get shot for escalating the situation.
all traffic stops are fishing expeditions. every cop is looking how to escalate a simple traffic stop into an arrest. pulled over for seatbelt not on, or your license plate light is out (fucking lol), that is a pretext for a cop to start looking in your vehicle, interrogating, asking for drivers and passengers to incriminate themselves, ANYTHING to make it into an arrest. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. NEVER ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM SOMEONE WITH THE POWER TO ARREST WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY TO HELP YOU

You have no right to drive a car, therefore on the road while driving you are a subject of the state.
The second amendment guarantees the right to bear arms.
