How many times have you *seen* that happen?

Out of the number of people who get pulled over everyday, the relative chances of getting out of a ticket by talking to the cop (unless you really haven't broken the law, and it was the cop's mistake), are probably equal to the chances of you being struck twice in 10 seconds by lighting, then having a coroner mis-pronounce you as dead.

If it was the cop's mistake, you still needn't speak to him/her, as the matter will resolve itself. Speaking to a cop, under any circumstances, cannot help your case.

From the video above - consider your Miranda rights - "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law."

That says it all right there. That Cop is not going to help your case at all. In fact, he's legally bound not to.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
