This is a classic great listen with an interesting perspective. Having had listened multiple times to fill an otherwise silent void, his arguments feel geared towards those who have 100% without a doubt committed a crime, which is fine, but such advice during a routine pull over may be counterproductive.<p>Of course, using his example of not admitting you were going 'x' over the speed limit is obvious (not to most, though), it may be beneficial to have -some- transparency and personable traits that most often eases the situation.<p>At this point, you may be asking yourself how this could possibly ease a scenario as such... Well, here's the thing - if someone were pulled over (no matter what cause)and acted as many 'Sovereign Citizens' do, it can be expected without a doubt that escalation will occur due to insubordination. It's a very fine line, and honestly may be a gamble depending on the encounter premise, who the official is, and where you are located.<p>In short: Think before you speak :)
Keep in mind there are exceptions to this rule like:<p>* If you kill someone in self defense. (You need an affirmative defense. Hence why training like Massad Ayoob is important)<p>* Giving your license when asked.<p>* Implied consent for DUI tests (If you are sober it's best to submit to these otherwise you lose your license)
