The moment your window comes down, a trained, rehearsed script begins — and most drivers never realize they're being tested until it's too late. In this video, Walter breaks down the seven tricks an officer is trained to use in the first ninety seconds of a stop, in the exact order he'll use them, and gives you the calm, polite, legally-grounded words that shut each one down. Trick number four is the one that ruins the lives of honest people — learn how to keep the one key the Constitution says they can never take by force.
