Why do police always touch the back of your car when they pull you over why should you always say
no if a cop offers you a drink of water and what does it mean if you find one of these on your car
after talking with a cop welcome back Charlie here today we're going to find out all the secrets that
police don't want you to know by the end of this video you will know all of their tricks and how
to avoid being arrested or pulled over ever again first off why the police always touch your trunk
or tail light when they pull you over there are actually two very good reasons why they do this
the first and main reason is it leaves their fingerprints and dna on your car
that way if anything bad happens to the cop during the stop their dna is on the car a few years ago
a cop pulled over a mexican cartel member the cartel member then kidnapped the cop the cartel
member then drove off but thankfully the cop's dna was found on the car this was then used to free
the cop and arrest the cartel member the second reason they tap the car is to startle the driver
if the driver who's pulled over is trying to hide something then the tap will scare them this
will give the police some more time to approach the car and see if the driver is nervous or not
normally cops can tell if you're trying to hide something because you'll be acting nervous
and a cop tapping on the back of your car will make you feel even more nervous
so really it's a psychological trick police use on you now let's say for some reason you get arrested
one thing that is bound to happen in the police station is cops will offer you a glass of water
you may be tempted to accept this drink but you should always say no that's because they just
want to get to your fingerprints and dna unless they have evidence dna tests are optional and you
can say no but if you agree to taking a drink of water then they have your dna and fingerprints too
the glass of water is police property and that's why they're allowed to take your dna from it
so be careful what you touch on a police station even if you're innocent the dna lab can be used
against you now let's look at a police gadget they don't want you to know exists if you find one of
these on your car then you're in big trouble this is known as a starchase a starchase is a
new type of vehicle tacking system it's basically a tracking system that police plant on your car
but they don't even have to do it themselves a starchase is actually shot at another car while
you're driving modern police cars have launchers built in and these can shoot star chases onto
your car the front of a star chase has a very sticky adhesive on it and the backside has a
gps transmitter once it's attached police can monitor your vehicle and see anywhere it goes
they can do this in real time using a gps map some criminals have found star chases on their cars and
not known what they were but by that time it was already too late and police had began swarming in
these star chases may look noticeable but many people don't even realize when their car's been
stuck with a star chase and it's said that police are working on smaller versions of these which
are much harder to see a few years back someone on reddit asked what it was when they found one on
their car only to find out that they'd been tagged by their local cops even if you're innocent you'd
better check your car for one of these you never know you might be being tracked and surveilled
everywhere you go the next trick cops use on you is lying it may sound super simple but many people
don't realize police do this there's a common misconception that it's illegal for police to lie
it's been popularized by films and movies but it's totally untrue police can and will lie to
you if you lie to police then you may go to prison you may be found guilty of obstruction of justice
that is a felony which can land you in prison for many years but police are totally allowed
to lie to civilians undercover police don't even have to admit their police police can even lie
and say they have evidence against you they can even lie to you about why they're questioning you
in fact many police say that lying is a key part of the job and lying is also a
big part of police training that's right they're literally taught how to lie in a convincing way
many criminal lawyers say that you should never say anything which is not necessary to a cop
you should simply answer their questions with yes or no answers but there are some things which
cops are not allowed to lie about they're not allowed to lie about how the legal system works
and it's also not okay for them to say they have a search warrant when they don't it's good for you
to know these things in case you ever run into a corrupt car another thing police don't want you
to know is that your garbage isn't really yours it may sound strange but one of the best ways for
police to get your dna is using your garbage you may think that police taking your garbage would
be illegal after all it is your property right well that's not true legally if your garbage is
on your curb then it's no longer yours and it can become evidence against you police don't even need
a warrant to look through or take your garbage if you leave your trash anywhere outside your own
home then it's seen as you dumping it it's now government property which means the police can
take it so if you're throwing away something you don't want police to see then don't leave it on
the curb so we know that police can lie to you but did you know they can also use fake tests to
try and trick you in the case of police versus maze in 2009 police hooked up their suspect to
a fake lie detector they asked their questions and afterwards showed the suspect a fake graph
even though the suspect passed the lie detector test the cop said he did not the suspect then
admitted to being at the scene of the crime thinking that he'd already been found out
but really the police had no idea before the suspect told them now let's look at a video
clip that i'm sure police don't want you to see a youtuber named arcticfox95 found out the best
way to hide from police or anyone for that matter as you can see the man uses a piece of ductwork
to quickly disguise himself as piping i'm pretty sure no cop would spot you if you hid like this
this is a pretty genius tactic for hiding but it means you'd have to carry around a piece of duct
work with you everywhere you went then again if you are up to no good maybe it's worth it
now let's go to another thing that i'm sure police do not want you to know that is that you do not
have to stand on one leg if you're pulled over many think that if they get pulled over they
have to do a sobriety test that is true in some ways but you don't have to do what's known as a
field sobriety test that is where you stand on one leg close your eyes and touch your nose or even
take a breathalyzer test if you're pulled over for suspicion of driving under the influence you
don't have to do any of these things in fact many lawyers would advise that you don't if you refuse
to do these things you'll have to do a blood test but blood tests are often more accurate so if you
really haven't been drinking or doing drugs then you have nothing to worry about you should refuse
to do a field sobriety test and instead request a blood test after all sometimes people with
bad balance fail the field sobriety tests they're then taken to a police station where a blood test
proves their innocence so it may be easier to simply get it out of the way right then and there
that way you don't have to spend a night in a police station now let's look at one more final
trick police don't want you to know they have at their disposal this is a new surveillance gadget
named the nano hummingbird we all know that police now use drones to track criminals drones are easy
to see but the nano hummingbird is so small it's nearly invisible this tiny device was
made by darpa and the us military it is used by police to track and surveil criminals if you saw
it you may assume it's simply a bird but really it's a police robot it sounds like something from
a creepy dystopian movie but this tech really exists right now but now it's time for you to
make your voice heard comment below which was the most sneaky trick in this video if you want to see
