They decided to run his plates and pull him over expecting an easy stop, but it immediately went the opposite direction. Instead of answering their questions, he forced them to explain themselves while only displaying his documents and refusing to hand anything over. As they shifted from the tint to fishing for speed and following distance, he kept shutting every question down and pointing to his dash cam or his right to remain silent turning what they thought would be simple into a stop where they couldn't get anything out of him. Watch how quickly they lost control of the situation. Hey, how are you? Can you roll your window down a little bit more for me so we know I can hear you? Uh that should be good enough.

What did I tell you why you got originally got pulled over? For following too closely? I'm not sure. You're asking me questions so I'm not sure if that was the reason why you pulled me over. So you're asking me if I was following too close. You asked me how fast I was going. Yeah. But I still don't know why you pulled me over. Because you were following the vehicle in front of you too close. So okay. Okay. That's why you got pulled over. If you have all that stuff on your dash cam, you'll you'll know it. Okay? Sure. So you know when you go back and look at it, you'll probably see my car parked on the side of the road. So So you living up in this area now? I'm not going to answer any questions. >> All right.

And that's how you handle being pulled over by the police. You don't answer questions. Because you answer questions, that's only for them to build evidence that they don't have against you. They think you're speeding, so they're going to ask you if you were speeding. If you say you were speeding then you just admitted to speeding and you're guilty. So best thing to do is don't answer questions, remain silent, and let them do all the work. >> They kept pushing for answers the entire time hoping he would slip up and give them something they could use, but it never happened. Every question got shut down, every angle failed, and in the end they had no choice but to back off with a warning. Nothing gained, no control established, just a stop that completely fell apart on them.
