On a traffic stop state law requires you to show them license, registration, insurance, but I suppose you could do this without speaking.

And if they're investigating a crime that you have knowledge of, I assume they could hit you with obstruction if you didn't tell them what you know. I guess you could write it down.

Not really but in practice there are limited things you might should say depending on the situation

You only have to provide them with proper identification.

Beyond that, you have the right to SHUT THE FUCK UP.

9 times outta 10, you'll just end up talking yourself into trouble.

I believe the rule is if you have been drinking and driving, then don't engage. But otherwise I find being chill and white + having FOP decal by license plate gets me out of occasional speeding tickets. Not sure why a cop would ever approach me on the street other than to high 5
