UThe point is to make them aware of the fact that they aren’t dealing with an uninformed individual who might succumb to their fear tactics. If the lawyer is not available then at least you can continue to call him to stall the cops while asking what sections have you violated from the legal perspective and how does it stand when compared to your fundamental right of freedom of movement in this country as a citizen provided you have also not parked the car in a no parking zone or do not possess anything illegal in your car like dope or drinks.
As long as you have a clean slate and you parking the car is not obstructing the traffic or causing any inconvenience the cops at most can only slap few of the acts under the motor vehicle act and nothing more than that which also can be challenged.
Cops often will try to incite you when they realize you are a tough cookie to slam the misbehaving charges and causing law and order situation which is why it is important to not get carried away by their misdemeanor but to handle the situation tactfully by talking legal.
Only an officer can give you a case.
I had one incident where I was out with my girlfriend walking on the pavement and two plain cloth police officer tried to threaten me into paying bribe because they had a concealed gun and I had a bottle of soft drink mixed with alcohol. Although they were able to get 200 bucks from me and I paid them to get off the situation but I also immediately called the local police after they were gone and complained about them on taking the bribe.
Luckily the officer in charge was on a beat nearby so I was able to meet him and drive sense to him that consumption of alcohol is illegal in public place but the possession of it after buying it legally is not illegal.
The two cops were called to the place and I got my money back along with an apology.
Fear begets fear. The cops also have fear and that’s why you won’t ever see them messing with lawyers, politicians or wealthy people because they know they can be fucked badly if they mess with the wrong people.
For a common man the only defense is to know your rights and your laws. Most of the cops don’t even know the sections under which a certain crime needs to be charged especially the ones you see on the road.
Know your rights, know your law. always keep a lawyer handy and be an upright citizen and as long as you have not done anything wrong, stand your ground and challenge their misdemeanor. The cops don’t generally risk it with the ones who they find to be educated and with good sources!
Hope that helps!
UAlways have a lawyer at your disposal and whenever these type of Cops harass you just tell them you are calling your lawyer and he will deal with them and simply call the lawyer and ask them to talk to him.Most of the time these kind of Cops look for easy prey who can pay up when threatened but the moment you involve a lawyer they will know that they cannot say or do anything against the law since it can be challenged in the court and if a case is filed in court whether under civil lawsuit or human rights , the promotion and increment of these type of Cops will be postponed until the case is disposed in the court so they will not take that risk.
Never talk to these kind of Cops when questioned. Say you have the right to seek legal counsel and hence you will call your lawyer since you prefer an expert dealing on your behalf to make sure your fundamental and constitutional rights are not violated just like the cops are dealing on law’s behalf.
But don’t threaten them or make a false phone call. Have a genuine lawyer at your disposal and make him talk to the cops instead of you responding to their questions.
