- Use the most official title: 'Yes Trooper', 'Thank you sheriff', etc.
- Be honest, authentic and remorseful, but not apologetic. (I don't agree with #1)
- Be well groomed. After I got my beard and hair cut, I stopped getting tickets. I've gotten 8 consecutive warnings, most verbal. Before getting 'cleaned up', I got 9 tickets and 1 warning.
- Have a woman in the car. Doesn't have to say anything, just smile and reply to questions.
- Pull over, turn on the dome light and leave your hands on the steering wheel. I lower my window when a flashlight hits me, and only get paper work in response to a command.
My streak of warnings still dumbfounds me. I even got pulled over twice after a superbowl for a tail light and got a verbal warning twice.
Yeah I didn't mean to be dishonest there. Honesty does help. But it also makes it an auto admission of guilt. Use discretion playing either card really in your situation.
