Oh thats probably just because they could frame you as a criminal anytime they want. Its a normal reaction. Like, Id also be afraid next to a bomb even if the timer isnt ticking.

Drugs. Me and friends have accidentally smuggled drugs. I’m always scared I hid a baggie in some secret pocket of my backpack five years ago

I kept getting explosives tested every single time I flew one year. We went on like 6 flights that year and every single time I got pulled aside and they did the little check for explosive traces.

Some jurisdictions demand that the officer tells you the supposed infraction rather than playing the old game of “Do you know why I stopped you?”

If you ever get asked “Do you know why I stopped you” ALWAYS tell no. Under no circumstance tell them something that might be interpreted as a confession. Because if you did in fact got pulled over for something valid, you are being fucked twice. Once for breaking the law itself and twice for even knowing about it and still doing it.

The Fifth Amendment provides that you may not be forced to incriminate yourself under any circumstances, so you can always just ask them to tell you what they stopped you for.

Can those of you who are paranoid about the police please stop dropping your speed 5 MPH below the limit when a cop car is behind you?
Thanks.

You’ve seen impressive 0-60 starts, but you’ve not seen my 140-55 coming!

Yeah, what about having one in the front and one in the back? I was in this situation the other day and even my honest law-abiding ass got nervous.

Your innocence is no protection! They can murder you on live tv and not onoy suffer no negative consequences, but be rewarded!

Or when you’re going through TSA and suddenly panic about whether or not you hid a bomb up your butt.

If you’re in the USA, the system of laws is so convoluted and complex that you literally cannot know if you aren’t breaking any laws at any given time and simultaneously, pretty much every functional adult has broken some law at some point in their life.
But, all that aside, it doesn’t matter, because in practice the police can pull you over and detain you for almost any reason or no reason at all. Even if that’s not legal, there’s pretty much nothing stopping them in the heat of the moment.
I know this might sound overly pessimistic, but it’s actually largely true. For example, I was driving home from the bar just a couple hours ago, and there were hundreds of people driving the wrong way down the freeway. Nearly spilled my drink a couple of times trying to avoid them all.
