As a retired Metro Nashville police officer, here's why I used to ask about your night on a traffic stop. So, when I was a police officer, I was charming. I would be nice. I'd be respectful. I would treat people like I would want to be treated. But I had an ulterior motive. I was trying to get you to talk to me. If I can get you to talk to me, I can get evidence against you that you don't even know you're giving. Nothing good comes from you talking to the police. It's important for you to remember the famous seven words that I always teach. I don't answer questions without a lawyer.
