I don't understand why people think if you have this card, they won't search your car or hassle you. This card would be basically a confession to having illegal paraphernelia or marijuana in the car with you, Why else would you go silent and just hand them this ? This seems to me to be a dead on give away.
Like others have said the best thing to do is stay calm and be polite. Don't have a chip on your shoulder when you talk to him and also take simple precautions, I mean how hard is it to have an extra bottle of cologne in the car and a bottle of eyedrops. Put in eyedrops and spray a little cologne on you and there is no reason to want to search your car. But when it comes down to it, a policeman will do exactely what he wants and you won't say shit about it. If you do, you'll get beaten with a nightstick or tazed. |
It is true that it might make them a little suspicious, but the way the law works if they are just basing it off the assumption of being handed that card that you have illegal substance/paraphernalia in the car and in turn proceed to search your car that is a huge standard for throwing out your case. (Which in that case the card really did it's trick) Basically the card is being used so you don't self-incriminate yourself and gives your lawyer more grounds to get your case thrown out if you happen to get caught and have to go to court. It's not an admission of guilt or anything by any means. It's just a card stating your constitutional rights.
