Now let's assume you are driving and
0:03
suddenly you notice a police siren
0:05
chasing you. You stop by
0:09
and now you are all pumped in. Now
0:11
before you say something that turns a
0:13
simple stop into an entire crime scene,
0:16
here are things that you should never
0:18
never never never ever say that might
0:22
get you into a serious serious trouble
0:25
instantaneously. So hey guys, welcome to
0:27
another episode of Just Be Logical. Stay
0:30
tuned with us for this one. Let's get
0:32
started.
0:38
So now you have been stopped by the
0:40
police and before you say something,
0:43
please remember mouth shuts, peace
0:46
stays.
0:48
And now you understand why you are
0:50
single. But anyway, never give
0:52
statements like, and this one's quite
0:54
classic enough. Never give statements
0:55
like, "Hey, what's your problem, dude?
0:57
Please do not don't be rude and arrogant
1:00
to someone in a uniform because that's
1:02
going to invite an instantaneous trouble
1:05
upon yourself and happy birthday. Voila,
1:07
you are now breaking breads in the
1:09
prison."
1:10
Number two, please do not give
1:12
statements like, "Well, I know my
1:14
rights."
1:16
Certainly, you would know your rights.
1:17
No one's contesting that, but there's a
1:19
way of saying it. Please don't just
1:20
start screaming as if you're applying
1:22
for the position of a roadside lawyer.
1:25
Please assert these things in the most
1:27
respectful manner. Don't be a Tik Tok
1:30
philosophical per se. The correct
1:32
version would be officer, can you please
1:35
tell me the reason for stopping me.
1:38
Learn to be polite. Please learn to be
1:40
polite,
1:43
please. Number three, never say
1:46
something like, "Oh yes, please search
1:49
if you want. I've got nothing to hire
1:51
officer." Well, trust me, that's the
1:55
greatest self-destruction button in
1:58
history. Because please understand, you
2:00
have directly given your consent for
2:03
your car to be checked, for your bags to
2:05
be scanned, for and even your mobile
2:07
phone to be unlocked depending on the
2:10
law or the jurisdiction the respective
2:12
geography has. But you have given your
2:14
direct consent. What you could rather do
2:18
you can is you can say very very
2:19
politely I do not consent for any
2:23
search. Please don't go bombastic and do
2:26
not start yelling as if you're
2:28
auditioning for Narcos. Again please be
2:31
polite, respectful and say I do not give
2:33
any consent for search officer.
2:36
Number four. Now let's say you have been
2:37
asked something and you say oh but I
2:40
just drank a little. Well
2:41
congratulations. Now you have confessed
2:43
that you were drunk or even do not give
2:46
statements like you know I'm suffering
2:49
from anxiety or I'm tired or I'm
2:51
stressed because let me be very very
2:53
dead honest here that these can also be
2:56
used as evidences against your good
2:58
self. So the correct response in such a
3:00
scenario would be I prefer not to answer
3:04
any of the questions being put across by
3:06
you. That's the correct way of dealing
3:08
with the situation here. Now if
3:10
situations become too frustrating never
3:13
give statements like all right arrest me
3:15
then grab me by the collar arrest me
3:18
please you see that's not a Bollywood
3:20
climax and these people would be the
3:22
happiest humans on earth who would turn
3:25
that or convert it into a real life
3:27
situation a real life drama with
3:29
handcuffs. So please please do not give
3:32
any such statements even if you are at
3:34
the threshold of your frustration
3:36
because you should never challenge
3:38
authorities as if you are starring in
3:40
prison break season 6 my friends never
3:43
never never do that never don't you suck
3:48
at it don't so well please please never
3:51
forget that number one patience is a
3:53
virtue and as I said mouth shuts peace
3:57
stays all right please please get the
4:00
hang of this in any such scenarios. Now,
4:03
what are some things that you can do?
4:04
Number one, remain silent as I said.
4:07
Number two, and for most important, ask
4:09
politely why you are being stopped and
4:11
ask if you are being detained. Uh do not
4:15
consent to any searches and request a
4:18
lawyer immediately. All right, these are
4:20
some safeguards or some measures that
4:22
you could apply in such scenarios and
4:24
you must please without any reluctance
4:29
please provide with your ID if required
4:31
by the law and stay calm stay respectful
4:34
the most important and be as cooperative
4:38
as possible. Many of these people you
4:40
know they they are too reluctant to
4:42
cooperate and that's where you actually
4:44
have to be detained so that uh you know
4:46
the further protocols and the further
4:48
procedures could be you know seamlessly
4:50
performed and done. So see attitude is
4:53
platinum but only in clubs and never
4:56
with the police. Uh do share it with
4:59
someone who has been or you think can be
5:03
in such a scenario anytime any day.
5:05
Well, not for me to mention though. Drop
5:08
