Hey, Dr. Judge here. Are you smart enough to be a judge yourself? Let's see if you can answer this bar question. During a Tennessee traffic stop, an officer asks the driver to pop the trunk just to take a quick look. The driver says, "Yeah, I guess so." In a hesitant voice because he doesn't follow this channel. The drugs are found and the defense argues that the consent was not freely given. What's the most likely outcome? This is a tricky question. We're going to talk about it a little bit. I'm going to give you time to answer the question and then I'm going to tell you the answer and then we're going to teach about what the theories of law are in the question itself. So don't go away. You're going to learn something in this question that's going to help you be smart as a judge. A the consent was invalid because of the driver's hesitation. B. The consent was valid because the driver ultimately agreed. C. the consent was invalid because the officer didn't explain the right to refuse. Or D, the consent was valid only if the officer had reasonable suspicion. So, I'm going to give you some time to answer, but don't take long because we got to teach on this one, too. The answer is obviously B. Courts generally find that a hesitant consent is still valid unless there's evidence of coercion or the person clearly refused. Here's why I teach people. The only thing you should ever say to a police officer is seven words. And you know them. I can hear them. Hear. Let me hear them. I don't answer questions without a lawyer. That's right. I heard you out there. Memorize those words because when a police officer asks you to pop the trunk to take a quick look, you should say, "I'm sorry, officer. I don't consent to searches without a lawyer. It operates the same whether it's questions or searches. I don't answer questions without a lawyer or I don't consent to searches without a lawyer because I'm a Dr. Judge follower and I would never do that. Let me know if you got it right. Comment below. I'm smart enough to be a judge. I want your job.
