1. As for the " Miranda Rights " I was stopped for suspicion of D.W.I many moons ago. I was read the "Miranda Rights" hand cuffed and taken downtown as they say ! Again at the police dept, i was read the Miranda Rights, and very politely declined to talk about anything ! The officer already had my license, reg, insurance card, etc. I remained silent from that point on. However, this did NOT go over so well ! The Officer then ordered me to perform sobriety tests, i declined and stated my Miranda Rights ! Then he Ordered me to take a Breath Test, I again declined and stated my Miranda Rights ! The Officer told me i can't do that ! If i did not follow his instructions he could force me to give blood at the local hospital ! And further, i would also lose my license for a year automatically for not complying ! So, at what point did my so called " MIRANDA RIGHTS " you know, " You Have The Right To Remain Silent " and all that crap go out the window ? At what point did MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT get waived ? I asked the officer why did he even read the Miranda to me if i could not apply it with out penalties ? (Serious Penalties i might add) He had no answer for me as the person the i referred to as Officer appeared to be just out of high school where he was most likely picked on ! At anyrate, look how easy your Constitutional Rights were Stated to me and in one minute taken away ! I have NO Answers to this, maybe someone else might ? I lost my drivers license for the year, and a $500.00 dollar fine, i will add, i am NOT excusing that i had driven when i was not in a good state to drive, i am asking, How what i said in the above sentences can Your Rights be read to you and then revoked in one minute ? Oh, this took place in N.J. PEACE PEOPLE !

2. I'm all for an individual's rights, but this is more like a tutorial on how to rig the system so you can break the law.

3. This video is very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

4. "Better call David!"

5. They claim probable cause on 'alcohol' but can they test your blood for anything and everything? or just what the probable cause was based upon?

6. The best case a cop has is the one where you answer questions he asks. From the second a cop ask how are you, they are setting you up and interviewing you. They are trained to get you to answer the questions they need.

7. hi SIR David or to anyone who wants to answer me with a fact response, i live on Reynosa Mexico,border with Hidalgo Texas, i have my visa and everything i pass legal, i want to know if i have the same rights or just because i am from Mexico it doesn't matter, my questions are for all types of pull over without a breaking some type o law on the road, just because i have mexican Tags, i never pull over but some polices man are kind of mean, so respectfully i want to know what rights i have,THANKS

8. Thanks for the video. Very informative.

9. BLOOD TEST, OMG!!

10. Plese don't drink and drive.

    Also don't rob banks and don't kill ten or any other number of people.

11. The evasive, but a right we are guaranteed, does not lie to the officer, but allows the person to deliberate with their attorney.

12. Thank you so much for this advice I never knew you could refuse to do the tests. I've been stopped and harassed before for driving oddly or something else and one time I was told when I was 16 years old(22 now) that me and my friend who was also 16 looked like he was on meth and that i was on heroin just because of our eyes.The second time the officer basically ordered me to do a flashlight test. Most cops really don't "ask" they word it in such a way where people don't think they have a choice.

13. Can somebody please advise me or direct me to a source (preferably a free one available on-line) as to the applicability of Mr. Cantor's excellent guidance in the state of Pennsylvania?

14. This is valuable advice, because one doesn't want to incriminate their self so it can be used against them later in court. Yet, one shouldn't lie either. By asking for your attorney, that isn't lying.

15. Make sure to comply if you're given orders.

16. I live in MO, and you can lose your license for a year just for refusing a breathalyzer. Doesn't this violate your 4th and 5th amendment right? Once I was sober but refused the breathalyzer based on principals, but then the officer cuffed me so I changed my mind and decided to blow (I blew a 0). Next time, should I just say I am blowing out of protest and duress?

17. This is valid advice for any and every traffic stop, including routine checkpoints. You do NOT have to provide LE with any information whatsoever.

    Learn the phrase "Am I being detained? Am I free to go?" and let if become your mantra. I'm pro-cop and have a number of extended family in LE, and I hate being perceived as a jerk, impolite, and a trouble-maker, but the trend of the LE community is heading in a harmful direction that values power over the rights of average citizens.

18. Thanks for the info!

19. DUI is a BIGGER crime that should be avoided!!

20. Thanks for your comment. Only ignorant people view these videos as negative. Lawyers like this are informing us of what we should all know. Maybe when some of these prohibitonist nazis get thrown in the slammer for a DUI with a bunch of gang bangers because they had 1 beer at a ball game will they truly realize how horrible, corrupt, and intrusive law enforcement/laws itself have become.

21. So what if you've had only 2 drinks over the course of an evening and you are not impaired? Are you saying I should still refuse to do the tests and ask for my attorney? The lawyers I spoke to said that doing this is a good idea if you are drunk, but it will always end up with you being forced to go to the station to take the required breath test.
    So, if I could ask, Mr Cantor, if I was drinking responsibly and got pulled over and the officer smelled booze on my breath, what should I do?

22. @romanolawpc Hey Thanks for the compliment. I am having fun making these and hope that it helps a few people along the way.
