If Cops Say "Empty Your Pockets or Go to Jail" - Say THIS (Simple Phrase)

from Know Your Rights with Jeff Hampton · host Jeff3t

Police pull you over for a routine traffic stop or walk up to you on the street and suddenly grab you and ask, "What's In Your Pockets?" What you say and do in the next few seconds will determine if you end the police encounter immediately or end up detained, patted down and in the middle of an investigation. In this episode, I break down the EXACT WORDS to use when cops ask "What's In Your Pockets?"   ❗️DISCLAIMER❗️ This is not legal advice. I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER. Sorry!
