  1. Ask him to put it in writing and sign it.


  2. You just do it. I had a officer tell me to make a  u turn where

    your not suppose to but it was the best thing to do. I was in a semi truck at the time and it took all  four lanes for me  to do it.

  3. It depends on what he or she is asking you to do, need more details.........

    One of the main powers that law enforcement officers carry is the power to intimidate citizens into voluntarily giving up their rights.

    Police are trained to believe in their authority and trained to perform their interactions with private citizens with confidence.

    It is their job to deal with problems and they learn to manage uncomfortable situations through strength.

    Most people, when confronted by police get a mild panic reaction, become anxious, and try to do whatever they can to minimize the time spent with the officer.

    Because of the imbalance of power between citizen and officer, when a law enforcement officer makes a strongly worded request, most people consent without realizing that they are giving up constitutional protections against improper meddling by the State in the private affairs of citizens.

  4. like what. it depends on what he wants you to do.

  5. You do what the cop says, whatever a cop tells you trumps the law.

    It's more against the law to NOT do what he says.

    If you have a problem with it (afterwords, of course) call your local PD and ask about it. Be ready to tell them just what happened and just when and where it happened.

  6. do what the cop sez....

  7. You need to listen to him because obviously it's an unusual situation on the road so he'll be directing traffic instead of road signs. You'll see that like if a bunch of people are leaving a place on a big road, a cop might direct traffic by making people only turn right even when they're in the left turn lane. So basicly just do what they tell you to do.
