LAWYER: Say THESE WORDS When Cops Demand Your ID
from Know Your Rights with Jeff Hampton · host Jeff3t
Imagine you’re sitting in your car during a break – engine running, air conditioner on, not breaking any laws – when an officer approaches because a passerby reported you as “suspicious.” The officer asks for your ID or driver’s license even though you haven’t committed any traffic violation or crime. Do you have to hand over your ID just because you “look suspicious”? In this episode I’m breaking down: 1. Whether cops can demand your ID and force you out of the car purely because you look suspicious, 2. The legal standards cops must follow AND 3. The exact words you can use to stop cops when they profile you and violate your rights when they claim you “look suspicious” ❗️DISCLAIMER❗️ This is not legal advice. I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER. Sorry!
