Several years ago I developed some ESL materials called "Talking with the Police" which includes a chapter on traffic stops.  The materials can be downloaded from OTAN at:

I'd love to have it too!  I work with refugees from several countries.  Many learn to drive for the first time shortly after they arrive in the US and know very little about safe police interaction!

Every semester I give my students a handout that explains what to do if they are stopped by the police.  Be unfailingly polite!!! Do not complain on site.  Get the officer's badge number or license plate number and you can complain later to the police station.

 

Do NOT answer any questions on site except your name and address.

We read (together) the rights that all officers must read to those they are arresting.  We discuss what they mean. We talk about public defenders whihc most of them do not know about.

 

I present this in the context of a teenager who may possibly do something illegal in the name of "fun".
