Here's a crazy idea: Never do anything that will draw a cop's attention. Never hang out with people who draw cops' attention. Never go to places that require a cop's attention.
Seriously, my interaction with the police took a serious decrease in frequency when I stopped hanging out with stupid *****ebags who had to act ****ed up every 10 seconds they were in public.

try pleading the fifth to a new orleans police officer... after a few sprays of mace, a couple of whacks with a billy club and a german shepherd gnawing on ur arm and a cop that's probably more ghetto than most of the thugs in the city is constantly screeming in ur ear "OH YOU A SMART MUTHA F'ER HUH, U A LAWYER OR SOMTHIN HUH" you'll wish u would've said something... now you're renderd with a jaw wired shut and a swollen rectum. round here N.O.P.D. stands for "not our problem dood"

i'm 29... and u could probably find plenty of records of cases against the nopd that were thrown out because of "lack of evidence" i think we're still known as having the most corrupt city officials in the nation (probably just beating NY along with our potholes)
i have a friend that's an NOLA officer and he's not quite what you would call an upstanding citizen... they really will just hire anybody off the street. just about a month ago i witnessed a guy getting tazzed and the dogs were sickd on him and i don't thing they were even gonna let him talk. sometimes ur guilty until proven innocent. there are a few good cops here, but i promise, the majority are very crooked people. and extremely racist. i' have some family from around south dakota and minnessota that wouldn't really believe it to be true either. but the dirty south is a FAR cry from beautifull countryside of south dakota.

Yeah. I just spent about 45 minutes watching these. Pretty much just reiterated what I already knew. Never, ever, ever, ever talk to the police. You are legally required to provide identification, and nothing else.
I watch a lot of "The First 48" on A&E, where they track homicide detectives trying to solve murder cases. I'm constantly amazed at how they are able to get people to talk, to confess to crimes. I mean, whether or not you did it, how hard is it really to say "I want my lawyer here" when they're asking you about someone getting shot?
You are not legally required to have identification, let alone carry it with you. The Supreme Court has uniformly struck down laws (usually called "anti-vagrancy laws" or similar) attempting to require that.
You do, of course, have to have and carry identification to operate a motor vehicle and in other limited situations.
The police do have a right to detain you "long enough to determine whether enough evidence exists to charge you". In practical terms, that might even be up to 24 hours. So, good luck with that whole not-having-to-carry-ID thing.

I find that if you are polite, don't do anything wrong, and generally try to help the police do their job they are very nice people on the whole - not too say there isn't the random *****enozzle mixed in, but don't assume they all are.

Man, you just blew your cover! Now we're gonna have to get you a new name and move you again!!!Hey man, I grew up in NYC. Amadou Diallo, Sean Bell, Abner Louima... trust me, I know that come cities have ****ty cops that do horrible things. But you can't give in because of that.
Got pulled over for speeding on I-10 in Baton Rouge. 70 in a 60. Guilty and with 3 guns in the car. Cop didn't even ask to see them when I told him I had them after he asked, "Any guns, knives, bombs, kidnap victims or drugs in the car?" After a chat about hunting and a run of my license, he let us go.
I would have made it a private mission to get her badge...i've called the cops once in nola cuz i had bout 2000 bux worth of tools stolen and they left a magnetic tool tray behind... they' wou'dve had to pry the tray off of the tool box and i'm sure they didn't have gloves on... i asked the lady cop (who made me go across the street to her car because she didn't want to get out of the air conditiond vehicle) to fingerprint it... she said
"what u think this is... csi or somtin?.. well lemme call crime lab cuz some white boy lost his tools"... then she just drove off
i was in awe
I don't agree with not talking to a cop at all. I think you need to know when to shut up and when to talk. Talking can get you out of tickets and not talking is a fast way to get the dogs called out to sniff your car which producing a false positive gives them reason to search.
that reminds me of that cheech and chong movie... i think it was "nice dreams" and chong kept tellin the cop "naw naw man... u can't search us man cus that's like illegal search and seizure man..""No sir you do not have my permission to search my vehicle and I'm aware that you do not need it to call the dogs in. On the other hand since I'm hiding nothing, I have all night to waste your time in a fruitless attempt to make yourself seem important and powerful. Please call for the canine unit."
that's kinda hard to do if she's laid back in her car... i didn't wanna ask her.. excuse me ma'am cud u lean the other way so i can have ur name and badge numberI would have made it a private mission to get her badge...
i got pulled over on i-10 going 112 in a 60 and told the cop i was late for work and he dropped it to a 89 in a 60... 30 mph over is jail time so i think i got off pretty easy thereGot pulled over for speeding on I-10 in Baton Rouge. 70 in a 60.
