Are you with them? I don't answer questions. Okay, you don't answer questions or leave the scene before you become part of the traffic stop. This is Paris, a driver pulled over for a window tint violation. However, instead of cooperating with a routine traffic stop, Paris chose to escalate the situation by refusing to provide ID and repeatedly challenging the officers. Do you think you have an absolute right to remain silent during a traffic stop? Look at this driver's mistake. Police have the authority to stop you for a tint violation and in many jurisdictions, you are legally required to identify yourself during a traffic stop. Paris's repeated shouting of I don't answer questions and refusing to hand over his ID didn't protect his rights. It gave the officers a lawful reason to arrest him for obstruction.
