I seen this link a while ago on another Scooby site I am on and after reading a thread on here thought it was worth posting. If you are stopped by the police then this could help.

Some of that stuff is opinion, some is utter rubbish. Remaining calm and polite is obvious advice though

i done exactly all of this a couple of months ago and was throwing out of court as the officer did not hav any evidence and i did not admit anything when stopped never said anything apart from giving my name and address and produced my licence in station because i did not have it on me.

Some is good advice, some is rubbish, for example:


NEVER... produce your driving licence. Even if you have it with you. This seems to be taken as an admission of guilt.

Ask them to explain why... "they picked on you"... rather than other vehicles you saw doing the same thing. [Under the provisions of the Human Rights Act they will need a coherent explanation... "because you have got a flash car" isn't good enough these days.]


If it is an unmarked car ask how fast they were going and whether that is allowed without warning lights... get them to explain their procedures to you

Why wouldn't you show your licence? I can't see how that is an admission of guilt.

Who publishes this chod and more importantly,who in their right mind,believes that this is true?
Let me know how you get on asking for your mate to sit in the back of a police car,whilst waiting for your copy of PACE to be delivered

Interesting read, not as interesting as the trainer site though (It's gone now)

If you take advice from there I'd carry a large pot of vaseline so the when the truncheon is shoved up your backside for being an arrogent d@ckhead it won't hurt as much. I'm sure the Police love it when someone thinks they know their rights.

Your Response. Try to put the ball firmly back in their Court... say something like... "I'm sure... as a serving Police Officer... you appreciate that it is not within my self-interest to admit to anything. So... why don't you just show me the evidence you have, first... and we'll proceed from there". And then... STOP TALKING!!!


Remain Calm. Always be... cooperative: polite: and respectful


Ok so always be cooperative polite and respectful but then come out with some smart ar$e comment like "I'm sure... as a serving Police Officer... you appreciate that it is not within my self-interest to admit to anything. So... why don't you just show me the evidence you have, first... and we'll proceed from there". Im sure that would go down a treat.....

Apart from the be polite bit the rest is utter rubbish. It reads like it has been compiled by someone who did a law GCSE (grade c at best)

Its crap like this thats ruining the law and justice system. If you have broken the law thats that in my eyes easyest way of not being done by police is by not braking the law in the first place imo

if you they havent seen your license, then they have identified who you are, i.e you could be someone else who knows the real drivers details and pass them off as your own.

Generally,the feds only stop you because you were driving like a tit or something isnt legal on your car
Basically,if your fully legal and not a tit,once they have PNC'd your car and its legal thats it.
Be nice,they have heard every excuse under the sun.... unless your a Jedi
