When a police officer says, "Where are you coming from tonight?" Here's what he's fishing for. When a police officer comes up to your door and asks you where you've been, or tell me about your evening, just realize he's fishing. He doesn't really care about your evening or what you've been doing. He just wants you to admit that you've been somewhere drinking. In most cases, he's fishing for evidence of what we call a DUI or a driving under the influence. If you're being investigated for that, just realize everything that he says and does is an attempt to gather evidence against you. And remember, the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution gives you the right to refuse to give evidence against yourself in all cases. Simply remember, if you're pulled over and a police officer starts asking you about your night, just say, "I'm sorry, officer. I don't answer questions without a lawyer.
