<br />
== Drivers and passengers are different ==<br />
* '''The driver''' must show a license, registration and proof of insurance when police ask. Pass them through a partially opened window. You do not have to answer questions about where you are going, where you were born, or your status.<br />
* '''Passengers''' can stay silent, and in most states do not have to identify themselves. A passenger can ask ''"Am I free to leave?"'' and, if yes, calmly leave.<br />
<br />
== Searches ==<br />
Say: ''"I do not consent to a search of my car."'' Say it even if they search anyway (with claimed probable cause they might). Never physically resist. Your stated non-consent matters later in court.<br />
<br />
== If you are ordered out ==<br />
Comply physically. Exiting the car when ordered is not consent to anything else. Keep exercising your right to silence.<br />
<br />
== Border Patrol checkpoints ==<br />
CBP runs immigration checkpoints, mostly within 100 miles of a border or coast. At a checkpoint:<br />
* They may ask brief immigration questions and can send you to "secondary" inspection.<br />
* You may remain silent, but never lie and never show false papers.<br />
* You do not have to consent to a search of your vehicle.<br />
<br />
== Everyone in the car ==<br />
* Do not sign anything on the roadside. See [[If You Are Detained]] if it goes further.<br />
* You have the right to record your own stop. Announce it calmly, and keep your hands visible while doing it.<br />
* Keep a [[Red Cards and Rights Cards|red card]] in the glovebox with your documents.<br />
