A criminal lawyer from Canada has shared five questions on TikTok that drivers should never answer when police pull them over. Kyla Lee, who works in Vancouver and specializes in DUI and traffic cases, says these questions are designed to make people accidentally admit guilt.
According to LAD Bible, Lee posted her warning on TikTok after seeing too many clients get trapped by these questions. She explains that even innocent drivers can hurt their case by answering what seems like simple questions. The problem is that anything you say can be used against you in court later.
Police use these questions as part of their strategy during traffic stops. Lee says they’re carefully designed to get statements that can help build a case against you. Here are the five questions she warns everyone to avoid. You might have encountered some of these yourself.
These questions are designed to make you confess
The first trap is when officers ask, “Do you know why I pulled you over?” Lee says this is a trick because police are supposed to tell you why they stopped you, not ask you to guess. If you answer, you’re basically trying to figure out what you did wrong. That response can be used later as proof that you knew you were breaking the law.
The second question is similar: “How fast do you think you were going?” Lee says this is another obvious attempt to get you to admit you were speeding. Don’t give them evidence about any offense. She also notes that if police know where you’re headed, they might assume you were rushing to get there, which makes their speeding case stronger.
