Most people talk themselves into getting arrested. In this episode of the Legal Vixen Podcast, we sit down with criminal defense attorney Marc Wasserman of the Pot Brothers to break down exactly what your rights are when police pull you over, and why staying silent can protect you. We cover the 5th Amendment right to remain silent, when Miranda rights actually apply, and the common mistakes people make during traffic stops that can lead to charges. If you’ve ever wondered: Do you have to answer police questions during a traffic stop? When do Miranda rights kick in? Can you refuse a search of your car? What should you actually say to invoke your rights? This episode explains the constitutional rules behind police encounters and gives you a simple script you should remember if you’re ever pulled over. The script to remember: "Officer, I am invoking my right to remain silent. I want a lawyer. I do not consent to any searches." Knowing your rights could be the difference between walking away or facing charges.
