Can the police take you home?
A: Law enforcement officers can search your home only if they have a warrant or your consent. In your absence, the police can search your home based on the consent of your roommate or a guest if the police reasonably believe that person has the authority to consent.
Can the police leave you stranded?
Sadly, yes. Every department is different. They all SHOULD have a policy manual that dictates what they do in certain circumstances. If they want to leave you stranded, they can.
Do you have to answer the door if the police knock?
No, you do not have to answer the door. In fact, unless the officer has a warrant, or a very good reason to suspect there is a crime taking place. There is no reason for police officers to enter your home either. You are certainly allowed to ignore a police officer’s presence at your door.
What should I wear for a ride along?
Wear appropriate clothing to your ride-along appointment. Men should wear dress slacks and a shirt with a collar. Women should wear dress slacks or a skirt, and a blouse or sweater. Jeans, shorts, sweatshirts, and t-shirts are not allowed.

What do you do during a traffic stop?
Stop the car in a safe place as quickly as possible. Turn off the car, turn on the internal light, open the window part way, and place your hands on the wheel. If you’re in the passenger seat, put your hands on the dashboard. Upon request, show police your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance.
When you get pulled over what do they ask for?
If you are pulled over by a police officer, the best rule of thumb is to provide the documents that they request. Three things you should always have handy when you are driving are your vehicle registration, your proof of insurance, and your driver’s license.
