Screw all of that, anytime a cop wants to pull me over for anything i get my Camera out. No ifs, or buts about it, Record everything. I let them know off hand that they are being recorded, so if any drama goes down, its on tape. PROTECT yourself because today, not all police officers can be trusted. Many of them are nothing more but thugs with a badge. I also recommend getting an on board camera. "Google" BlackVue. It is worth the investment, plus depending on your car insurance, it can help you lower your premiums. I will be getting one installed in my own car with in a week. I am not playing around with these cops, especially here in New York.

Never talk to police. If they ask you a question tell them you will get your lawyer on the phone for them, and dial up your pre-paid legal number right away. (All Blacks should subscribe to pre-paid legal)

This is a tricky issue. As a general principle, citizens who are
minding their own business are not obligated to "show their papers" to
police. In fact, there is no law requiring citizens to carry
identification of any kind.
Nonetheless, carrying an ID is generally required if you’re driving a
vehicle or a passenger on a commercial airline. These requirements have
been upheld on the premise that individuals who prefer not to carry ID
can choose not to drive or fly.
From here, ID laws only get more complicated. In Hiibel v. Sixth Judicial District Court of Nevada,
the Supreme Court upheld state laws requiring citizens to disclose
their identity to police when officers have reasonable suspicion to
believe criminal activity may be taking place. Commonly known as
"stop-and-identify" statutes, these laws permit police to arrest
criminal suspects who refuse to identify themselves.
As of 2008, 24 states had stop-and-identify laws. Regardless of your state's law, keep in mind that police can never compel you to identify yourself without reasonable suspicion to believe you're involved in criminal activity.
But how can you tell if an officer asking you to identify yourself has reasonable suspicion? Remember,
police need reasonable suspicion to detain you. One way to tell if they
have reasonable suspicion is to determine if you're free to go. You
could do this by saying "Excuse me officer. Are you detaining me, or am I free to go?" If the officer says you’re free to go, leave immediately and refrain from answering any additional questions.
If you're detained, you'll have to decide whether withholding your
identity is worth the possibility of arrest or a prolonged detention. In
cases of mistaken identity, revealing who you are might help to resolve
the situation quickly. On the other hand, if you're on parole in
California, for example, revealing your identity could lead to a legal
search. Knowing your state's laws can help you make the best choice.
Keep in mind that the officer's decision to detain you will not always hold up in court. Reasonable suspicion
is a vague evidentiary standard, which lends itself to mistakes on the
officer's part. If you're searched or arrested following an officer's ID
request, always contact an attorney to discuss the incident and explore
your legal options.

It's actually very complex in this active life to listen news on TV, thus I just use web for that purpose, and obtain the latest news.
