I am just waitng for a time when I get pulled over by a cop, and he asks me the question- “where am I going?”
From what I can tell, it is none of their business. I will tell the cop that is a personal question, which does not pertain to this stop. With my i phone video on.
You can be respectful, but cops are not the Gestapo.
Try doing that in TX and you’ll be sitting there for a while because normal people will answer that question unless they have attitudes or are trying to hide something. That is standard question to determine if you could possibly be a drug trafficker. If refuse to answer then you will continue being detained until the cop can complete a full history/background check on you. He will also probably order you to step out of the car.
Remember, respect is earned and respect begets respect. If you have attitude then don’t be surprised if the cop returns the favor. You’re not required to be respectful, but neither is the cop according to the law.
Seriously if you get pulled over and the cop starts out with an unnecessary question the best thing is just don’t answer. You are not required to answer. Just answer with another question such as why did you pull me over officer?
Or if they say do you know why I pulled you over. You say I think I’ll have to let you tell me.
