When stopped by the police, it’s essential to remain calm and cooperative while also protecting your rights. Whether you’re pulled over for a traffic violation or approached by law enforcement in another context, knowing how to respond can make a significant difference in the outcome of the encounter. Here are some steps to take when stopped by the police:

• Stay calm and respectful: Keep your hands visible, avoid making sudden movements, and comply with the officer’s instructions.
• Exercise your rights: You have the right to remain silent and the right to legal representation. If asked any questions, you can politely decline to answer without your attorney present.
