When Pulled Over in FL Provide Driver License, Proof of Insurance and Vehicle Registration, and NOTHING ELSE! / AVVO / Michael A. Haber, Esq. **ARRESTED / **305DUI

In non-driving contexts, absent law enforcement’s resaonable (and articulable) suspicion – or probable cause – that you have committed, are about to commit or are in fact committing a violation of law, you are free to reject law enforcement’s requests to either speak with you or to present proof of identification.

You should be aware that what happens on the street and what happens in court often prove to be mutually exclusive…. That is to say that many a police officer resign themselves to the adage that “you can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride”. Accordingly, you are almost always best advised to be polite and cooperative, but not to incriminate yourself in the process.
