When pulled over by a police officer, you have the right to remain silent, the right to refuse a search without a warrant, and the right to request an attorney. It is important to stay calm, follow instructions, and avoid any sudden movements. If you believe your rights have been violated, it is best to document the incident and consult with a lawyer.
