On August 19, 2023, attorney Charles “Chuck” Fuller appeared once again on “Law Talk with Ethel Mitchell” to share the legal guidance he gives in his publication The Black Man’s Guide to Surviving a Routine Traffic Stop.
An experienced civil and criminal defense lawyer, attorney Fuller knows constitutional rights. As a Black man, he also knows the perils Black and brown men face daily. His publication tells you specifically what you should and should not do from the time you see a police car’s lights behind you to when you are hopefully allowed to leave.
Attorney Fuller told attorney Ethel Mitchell’s radio audience exactly what you should do and why. According to attorney Fuller, the police have a job to do. They are trained to be suspicious and alert to any movement or action one might take that could harm them. In his important publication, attorney Fuller explains what you should do when you are pulled over, from putting on your signal lights to show you are pulling over, to stopping your car and keeping your hands in sight on the steering wheel. Turn the lights on inside the car if it is dark. Wait for the officer to come to the car. Don’t guess why he pulled you over if he asks. Don’t get tricked into admitting that you had been drinking. You have a right not to incriminate yourself. Sign the traffic citation if given one. It does not mean you can’t fight it in court later. If you get out of the car, put the windows up and lock the car. Don’t argue with the police.
