LAWYER: When Cops Say 'Where Are You Going?'—Say THIS

You get pulled over. The officer asks for your license… then hits you with the “harmless” question: “Where are you headed tonight?” Most drivers answer out of habit. It feels like small talk. But it’s not small talk — it’s an investigation tool. That one question is designed to do three things: Lock you into a timeline Test your story for inconsistencies Create “reasonable suspicion” to extend the stop past the traffic violation And once the stop is extended, everything changes: more questions, possible K-9 wait, “officer safety” escalation, and search requests disguised as favors. In this video, I break down: Why officers ask travel questions (and what they’re actually listening for) How “normal” answers become suspicious on body cam The Supreme Court rule that says you must speak to stay silent The 3-step script that shuts this down without being rude The four phrases that protect you in every traffic stop ✅ The Script That Protects You When asked travel questions, use this progression (calm, polite, firm): “I prefer not to answer questions, officer.” “I’m invoking my right to remain silent.” “Am I free to leave, or am I being detained?” If the stop is over, leave. If you’re detained, stop talking and don’t volunteer anything. 🔒 Quick Safety Protocol (First 30 Seconds) Pull over safely, engine off Dome light on if dark Hands on wheel, movements narrated Window cracked enough for documents Stay respectful, stay brief, stay consistent ⚠️ DISCLAIMER This video is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
