I'm not a huge fan of infographics, but this one has some good info for everyday drivers. It contains some tricks that police use that they know the general public is ignorant about. Don't be afraid to stand up for your rights when questioned by the police. Above all, be respectful.

Police Decals? You mean donations to law enforcement support rackets are actually counterproductive?

This infographic probably does have good info.

I just can't find any of it among the 4 colors it uses and the poorly laid out way of presenting the information.

Agreed. That's generally why I don't like infographics, but if you can wade through the layout there are some good tips for drivers.

Especially if you're too dark, too young, driving too nice of a car, or driving too ratty of a car. If you know any police personally they'll be happy to tell you what they think of them.

I feel like some of the responses could really aggravate a cop. I feel sometimes honesty will get you much more goodwill from a cop instead of being a smart-ass that "knows" the law.

Only opening your window a crack? Really? There's the first indication for a cop to be suspicious of you.

Have you been drinking? "I don't have to answer that", oh that's fine, we'll just breathalyze you then. Because if you can't say "no", that means you have.

I use to agree with you, but I've become paranoid that the police will use honestly to issue a violation, or find something unlawful. Like that recent case of a driver arrested for having an illegal secret compartment under his spare tire. You can refuse to answer and they have no right to issue a breathalyzer even if you raise suspicion be denying their request. They will most certainly ask you to step out of the car in hopes that you will comply and they witness you staggering.

Don't confuse my opinion with dishonestly. Always cooperate and never lie, just don't say anything that you are not required to.

What if you can't say "no", does that mean your drinking and driving? What if I had a glass of wine with diner? Is that any business of the police? Is that why he pulled me over? What did I do wrong? I would never admit that you have been drinking. Deny Deny Deny.

Here is a good (long, 48 minutes) video regarding the 4th Amendment and what you should do when talking to the police. Short answer is don't talk to the police.
