A lawyer recently posted a TikTok that reveals four "trick questions" that police officers will regularly use when they pull you over to get you on record for breaking the law. He also shared the best way to answer them to keep you out of trouble.

You might be surprised to learn that all four questions seem pretty standard. If your kids were playing pretend police officers, they'd probably use them. Here they are:

1. Do you know how fast you were going?
2. Can we search your car?
3. Where are you coming from?
4. Do you know why I pulled you over?

The video explains how the way that you answer these questions can change how the interaction will go and could affect whether or not you get into trouble.

1. Do you know how fast you were going? "I was going the speed limit."
2. Can we search your car? "No."
3. Where are you coming from? "Officer, I'm just trying to get home."
4. Do you know why I pulled you over? "I do not."
