| Mar 28, 2023 at 8:30 | comment | added | KFK | If the police officer saw a broken light in your first/second example, they can fine you regardless of what you say. That’s an entirely different thing from, say, "did you know how fast you were going" (where the police officer saw you were going kinda fast, but had no radar gun or other device, and are therefore fishing for an admission of guilt). | |
