I am in the great state of Maryland. I have never been in trouble for anything but I am curious about various aspects of routine traffic stops. If the police ask to search your car, should you ever allow them? Is it lawful to lie to the police? If you have had a drink and the officer asks if you have been drinking, what if anything, should you say? In what circumstances may an officer require you to get out of the vehicle? To you have to roll your window down any further than that required to pass documents back a forth? I hope these don’t sound like stupid questions. It just seems like, unless you just remain silent, you may be giving up some of your rights. True or not?
