Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Jason Flam and I'm the host of Wrongful
Speaker 1: Conviction with Jason Flam. And I'm Robbiah Audrey, attorney and
Speaker 1: co host of Undisclosed. So we want to talk to
Speaker 1: you today about your rights and how they relate to
Speaker 1: interactions with the police. So, Robbia, let's say you're driving
Speaker 1: along and you see flashing lights in your rear view mirror. Now,
Speaker 1: no matter who you are, what's the first thought that
Speaker 1: comes to mind? Oh? Fuck, yeah, that's right. Fuck. No
Speaker 1: one likes getting pulled over. At the very best, you're
Speaker 1: getting off of the warning. And we've all seen video
Speaker 1: evidence of everyone's worst fears becoming real. Now, what are
Speaker 1: some tips to keep this situation from escalating. Yeah, we've
Speaker 1: all seen those videos. So here's a few ways to
Speaker 1: make sure that doesn't happen. Now, if you're pulled over
Speaker 1: in your car, if possible, try to stop in a
Speaker 1: well at area, but certainly do not lead any police
Speaker 1: officers on the chase. Then roll down your window halfway,
Speaker 1: turn off the car, put your hands on the steering wheel,
Speaker 1: and make no sudden movements. We know how that could
Speaker 1: turn out. If you're asked provide your license registration insurance.
Speaker 1: It's always a good idea to how those documents just
Speaker 1: organized and ready to go anytime you need them, instead
Speaker 1: of having to search around in the moment. I remember,
Speaker 1: you have the right to remain silent. You don't have
Speaker 1: to answer any questions at all. You can stay loudly.
Speaker 1: I have the right to remain silent, and I am
Speaker 1: exercising my right. I will not answer any questions. You
Speaker 1: also don't have to consent to a search of your
Speaker 1: person or your belongings. And if you don't consent, make
Speaker 1: sure they know it. Say I do not consent to
Speaker 1: a search of my person or my belongings. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying this will stop the search, but it might help
Speaker 1: you legally down the road. Now, the police don't need
Speaker 1: search warrants for items that are in plain view, so
Speaker 1: make sure to keep private items out of sight. Now,
Speaker 1: if you're a passenger in a car that's been pulled over,
Speaker 1: then you can ask if you're free to leave. And finally,
Speaker 1: just remember this look. If you're being arrested, do not
Speaker 1: resist arrest. It does not end well. Our goal is
Speaker 1: to help you stay safe during these interactions and keep
Speaker 1: yourself out of jail. And out of harm's way, So
Speaker 1: listen up. There's even an app called pulled Over by
Speaker 1: the Police. It's on the iPhone. It automatically records your interactions.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is say a two Siri,
Speaker 1: Hey Siri, I'm being pulled over by police. But you
Speaker 1: have to download the app first, so to learn more
Speaker 1: and get involved, listen to Undisclosed and listen to Wrongful
Speaker 1: Conviction podcasts. These are your legal rights. You know them,
Speaker 1: understand them, and exercise them.
