That's about all he can ask unless someone specifically said they thought they saw weapons in your car.
he can make that up himself... i had cops looking thru my car in parking lots, i just open the doors, turn on the interior lights and let them get over with it... plus i don't mind my car's always clean and smelling nice ![Cheesy :D](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/cheesy.gif)
it's an age thing... they won't do that to a 30+ yr old guy...
Yea? They do it to me in the Supra. I only know all of these rules because I've sought legal advice on it (after having had ridiculous interactions with police pulling me over again, and again) and filed 2 complaints (received apologies from both) with 2 local police stations. What struck me the most (or shocked me?) was that the police themselves didn't know that they were not allowed to ask certain questions when pulling you over for a random stop or during a RIDE program.
but they don't do it when you're driving the Echo do they... Supras = heat ! ![Smiley :)](https://www.autos.ca/forum/Smileys/CarTalk/smiley.gif)
Actually they do......Just last week as a matter of fact. And the cop recognized me and said "Are you the guy with the black sports car?" I said "Ya". He says..."Have a nice night". My co-worker also gets pulled over (we both work the night shift, so we are on our way home at 2-3 am).
Doesn't seem to matter what I'm driving....Honestly...I think most of the time they do it just to break up the monotony of their night. I don't care if I get stopped...just as long as they don't ask the invasive questions. Some of the questions I've been asked:
Where do you work?
Where do you live? (he has my license/ownership/insurance in hand with my address on it)
Where are you coming from?
Where are you going?
What were you doing tonite?
Who's car is this?
What do you do for a living?
How could you afford such an expensive car?
We stopped you because this looks like a "drug dealer's car" (in my Lexus).
Have you ever been arrested?
And the list goes on, and on. Finally I got tired of the cowboys around here and sought legal help. Learned my Charter of Rights. Filed a couple of complaints. I gave them a chance to apologize before making these "official" Charter of Rights complaints.
