13 Tips – Glove Box Guide for Arizona Traffic Stops

 

IF YOU ARE STOPPED BY THE POLICE

 

  • Remain calm.
  • Be respectful, not confrontational.
  • Stay in the car. Pull to a safe location out of traffic flow. Sit patiently, and wait for the officer to approach your vehicle. If it is dark outside, turn on the interior light.
  • Produce your driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance when the officer asks you to do so. Don’t start rummaging around for these items until the officer asks for them. The officer will be watching you and may wonder whether you are, in fact, searching for weapon. Caution: If you have a gun (or other weapon) in the glove compartment, do not open the glove compartment for any reason, even if you are licensed to carry the weapon. Keep your hands on the steering wheel and tell the officer about the gun. Ask the officer if he would like to retrieve it.
  • Answer “identification” questions. Otherwise, try to say as little as possible. If the officer asks, “Do you know why I stopped you?” A simple “No,” is all you need to say.
  • If you are asked to get out the car, do so. Close the door behind you. Keep your hands in plain sight. Once you are outside the vehicle, the officer may pat you down for weapons if the officer has a reasonable suspicion you might be armed or pose a danger to him.
  • Do not consent to a search. If you are asked to consent to a search of – your purse/backpack, your pockets, the interior of the car, the trunk – say NO. If the officer is asking for permission to search, that means he has no other legal justification to search you. You have a 4th Amendment right to refuse his request. Exercise your right. Say, “No. I do not consent to a search.” Any passengers in the car should do the same.
  • If the officer writes you a ticket (traffic citation), sign it. Don’t try to fight the citation with the officer.

Dean

GoogleReview “Future First Criminal Law exceeded my expectations, on my first court appearance an old charge came up out of no where and the judge wasn’t going to let me leave. Ed got right on his phone and got it all cleared up! It is always best to have a private lawyer especially with criminal charges, the outcome will always be better and I highly recommend future first. Ed made a personal video breaking down my charges, the discovery, and my plea offer step by step. If you are questioning whether or not to get a lawyer, future first is the way to go 100%. You can’t put a price on freedom!! Thanks Ed!!!!

GoogleReview “If I could rate Future First Crimal Law higher I would. After making the dumb mistake of getting a DUI they have been there for me every step of the way. There is nothing worse than going at this alone. You want someone in your corner during this stressful time and no one is better than Zach and his team there. They walk you through everything, keeps records of a what you need to do for the courts and sends it to them, and gets you the best case scenario sentence. Without them the consequences would’ve been much worse so very thankful to the team.”

Arnie

GoogleReview “More than a year ago, I found myself in some serious legal trouble facing the possibility of a lengthy prison sentence. My fiancé, Jackie and I decided we needed a good attorney to help us maneuver through this difficult situation. We are not rich people and we were afraid that we would not be able to find a reliable and reputable firm at a price we could afford. We searched the internet and came across Future First Law Firm. When Jackie saw the high rating and many five star reviews she convinced me to give them a call. After a short conversation with Zach, we were both convinced we had found the right firm. It took over a year and several court appearances but Zach and his team stood by my side through it all and helped me get a great plea. It was a nerve-racking process, but Zach was always patient and ready to address any concerns we had. Thanks to Future First, we are excited about our plans for the future. If you find yourself in a legal mess, I highly recommend hiring Zach and his team.

GoogleReview “I can’t say enough good things about Zachary. I have had the privileged to meet him through professional channels and he has helped me out a ton with the knowledge he possesses, his experience, and his kind heart and willingness to go the extra mile to help.

 

IF THE TRAFFIC STOP LEADS TO AN ARREST

  • Know your rights. When you are taken into custody, you have certain constitutional rights: the right to remain silent; the right to consult with a lawyer; and the right to have a lawyer present during questioning by the police.
  • Immediately assert your rights. You can lose these rights if you don’t speak up and assert them. Say, for example:
    • “I respectfully refuse to answer based on my Fifth Amendment privilege. Please direct any further questions to my lawyer.” or
    • “I do not want to talk or answer questions. I want a lawyer.” or
    • “I wish to remain silent. I will not talk or answer questions until I have consulted with a lawyer.”
  • Remain silent. Once you have asserted your rights, be quiet. Do not say anything else until you have consulted with a lawyer. If you cannot afford a lawyer, the court will appoint a lawyer to represent you, at no cost to you.
  • Do not consent to a search. The officer will search you “incident to the arrest.” Your car may be searched if the officer reasonably believes that evidence of the crime for which you are being arrested might be found in the car. The officer does not need your permission to conduct these searches. If, however, the officer asks for permission to conduct any other type of search, this means he has no other grounds to justify the search. Say, “No.”
  • Call your lawyer. At your first opportunity, call an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Your lawyer can work to get you released on bail; counsel you if the prosecutor offers a plea; and take steps to ensure that your rights are respected from the outset of your case.
