You may have seen this video (NSFW, language) on Youtube or other places and their advice is simple: STFU. Sadly to say, many people don’t use this very effective advice when speaking with law enforcement. To be clear, this doesn’t mean not to answer all questions. If they ask who you are, answer. If they ask to see your driver’s license, answer. If it goes beyond that, STFU. Your answers will not help your situation and many times will make it worse. For example, the majority of our game and fish violation cases result from a hunter/guide/outfitter answering all of the conservation officer’s questions. The conservation officer then takes your answers and issues you a citation , sometimes months later, much to your surprise. So take the advice, STFU and if LEO was to question you in depth ask for a lawyer and call us for a free consultation at 505-247-9500.
