What to say if police ask how fast you were going?
The officer might ask “Do you know why I stopped you?” If you answer at all, your answer should always be “No.” Similarly, if the officer asks “Do you know how fast you were going?,” the best answer is “Yes.” The officer may then tell you how fast you were going but do not argue.
What is fail to stop?
Failure To Stop – If you are involved in an accident and fail to stop and give your name and address to any person who is injured or whose property is damaged, even if the accident is no fault of your own, you will be guilty of an offence under the Road Traffic Act 1988.
Can a police officer beat you up instead of stealing your wallet?
Now take the case of a police officer who beats-you-up just like the mugger, but instead of stealing your wallet, the officer who beat-you-up arrests you, takes you to jail, makes a false allegation that you attacked or delayed or somehow obstructed him that results in you having to post bail to get out of jail.
Is it your fault if the police use force on You?
THE BLAME GAME; IT IS YOUR FAULT THAT THE POLICE HAD TO USE FORCE ON YOU. When the police abuse you, they almost always at least attempt to procure your malicious criminal prosecution; to make whatever happened, “your fault”.
Can a police officer lie about having evidence against you?
But police officers can lie to civilians and do so routinely. For example, undercover police officers don’t have to admit they’re police officers even if you ask. Police officers can lie to you about having evidence against you. They can even lie to you about why they’re questioning you.
Do cops have to tell you what they suspect you of?
Nor do they have an obligation to tell you they suspect you of something. Sure, you can ask, “what’s this all about, officer,” but they don’t have to tell you unless and until you’re actually being arrested. And not telling you is a procedural tactic designed to elicit more information than you’d offer if you knew “what this is all about.”
