My stepdad's a very high ranking la sherriff and you wouldn't believe the stories I've heard of what other leo's are capable of, after the years and adding up information I would say over 80% of people who have power abuse it.
I've had cops try to make me confess to false statements with stupid trick questions, just a heads up to anyone answer either YES / NO or not answer it at all.
(story below was from the past-different mindset and all that good stuff, keep it off the streets)
I was pulled over for exhibition of speed/reckless driving when my girlfriend and I were doing some tandem figure 8s near my buddys old shop. To cut the story short, the officer kept trying to trick my girlfriend into answering questions to help his case if he were ever against me in court.
He would ask Does your boyfriend always drive like that? What kind of speeds were you going while you guys were racing? = Questions that bait you into saying something.
I yelled at her to keep her mouth shut and she did. I won my case - private property FTW.
Police play that I'm your friend game, no officer is your friend while you are being pulled over or investigated.
I have a lot of respect for my family members and their close friends who serve law enforcement so don't get it mixed up.
If there's any advice I can offer car enthusiasts, its to research your rights and always remember the police do have a quota for tickets.
