Great post! Six months ago or so I briefly worked with a guy that was a Former New Orleans Cop. He was an extremely nice guy, big, muscular,african american,and boy did he have some stories.
One thing he told me that stuck with me is how 95% of people have no idea how many rights they have.
He said that if you are ever pulled over you don't have to talk to the cop at all if you don't want to. And that for the most part it was easy to get people to grant permission to search even when they had illegal stuff they were hiding under the seat.
I know when you watch Cops it seems that very few exercise their right to remain silent and get quite chatty and make things worse for themselves.
