LAWS vary from state to state.... as well as Case law. Unlike the general public.... Officers stay current on Case Law and Legal precedent
The problem with a video like this in an information age like we live in.... this will give people just enough information to shot themselves in the foot.
Don't use this video as the sole source of your knowledge of your constitutional rights.... study them yourselves and have an actual working knowledge of them before you attempt some of the things portrayed in this video.
Learn what the following terms are:
REASONABLE SUSPICION
PROBABLE CAUSE
TERRY STOP
STOP AND FRISK
OFFICER SAFETY PAT DOWN
INVESTIGATIVE DETENTION
FURTIVE MOVEMENT
EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCE
IMPOUND INVENTORY
The makers of that video will not be with you on the side of the road when you try to exercise the "rights" you "Know you have" and they won't be the ones getting the ticket.... or getting locked up.
Realize also that any break an officer was going to cut you goes out the window the second you start being a "Junkyard Lawyer".... expect to get the speeding ticket for full value.... not a reduced speed.

All very true, and I agree. The hints I find most helpful are the simple ones such as not fully rolling down your window, and stepping out the door of your house then closing it. This video should be taken as the starting point for your education, not the source of all knowledge. I think the narrator does a good job of getting that point across.
I like how they basically showed scenarios of 3 guilty people, but showed how to get out of getting caught. That's the ACLU for you, a bunch of liberal pukes.

While those two may be considered "good", if you do that, all you're doing is piquing the officers curiosity and they are going to start digging..
Interesting information, but I also disliked the fact that the situations presented were of guilty parties (1 and 3) who used their rights to escape punishment.

As long as they "dig" within their constitutional rights they will have no problem.

Keep in mind that no matter how guilty a party may be, and that guilt is to be determined by a court of law, it is not their responsibility to aid the police in an investigation which may lead to their prosecution any more so than the law requires.
Further, Consider the lessons to be learned in the video beyond the context in which they are shown in the video. I can think of many instances where a law abiding party would not want an officer intruding into their private life. The lessons in the video would be applicable in preventing such an intrusion.
