5 Things the Police Don’t Tell You When They Pull You Over (UK)

Описание: If you’ve ever been pulled over by the police, you know that moment of panic. But most drivers make things worse for themselves simply because they don’t know their rights.

In this video, I break down five things the police are legally allowed to keep quiet about during a traffic stop — and knowing them could completely change how things go.

🚔 THE 5 THINGS COVERED:

1. You don’t have to answer every question
1. Police don’t have to tell you why immediately
1. You have the right to remain silent
1. They can’t search your car without grounds
1. You can challenge the stop

This isn’t about being difficult or uncooperative. It’s about understanding the law so you don’t accidentally make things worse during a stop.

💡 KEY TAKEAWAYS:
✅ Only provide legally required information (name, address, documents)
✅ Don’t volunteer extra information when nervous
✅ Ask “what are your grounds?” before consenting to a search
✅ You’re entitled to free legal advice at the station
✅ Always request a record if you’re searched
✅ Challenge tickets if procedures weren’t followed

Remember: being polite and being informed are not the same as being awkward. Know your rights, stay calm, and don’t accidentally incriminate yourself.
