First of all, my husband is a sheriff's deputy and he is wondering what the whole 'black wallet' thing is about... also, he says that you are an idiot. Do you deal drugs? Do you steal and rob banks? Do you try to murder people? Do you shoot at cops? Then why are you so paranoid? Whatever you are doing.... let me know and he can find a way to get some police officers over to your place to show you that you won't get gunned down by police officers unless you are shooting first!

Don't break the law!! But if you get stopped on a traffic stop there are several precautions you can take..for example, do not reach for something in your vehicle unless the officer tells you to reach for something, comply with what the officer asks you to do, and pull over as soon as he/she hits the lights on the police car. Officers only pull their guns when they feel they are in a threatening position, so unless you give them a reason to get "spooked" you shouldn't have anything to worry about. With no criminal record when they run your name they will see you have no criminal "numbers" so they will know you havent been in trouble before. And if for some reason you have a weapon in your vehicle inform the officer immediately...that can include a gun or knife.

Don't break the law! I have been a police officer for 11 years. I haven't gunned down anyone... even some people who I certainly would have been justified in doing so! None of my friends have been gunned down. My family either. I guess as long as you don't break the law you don't have to worry about it!

If you are white you don't have much to worry about. But if the computer says you have a criminal record (even if you don't) your life expectancy may go down a bit.

Just live your life and stop being paranoid. You can wear a shirt and tie, You could be the Wal Mart Greeter, Do community service, you could not carry a gun, you could not do dumb ****.. Look man, use your brain.. If you think that something your doing or going to do is gonna draw attention in a negative way, don't do it.

Don't hang with the wrong crowd.Stay out of bad areas. If you see something going on that you know is wrong, turn around and go the other direction. And yeah, don't carry any weapons.

First of all there are two sides to every story...The guy in NYC did not intend on hitting the officer. People accidently hit people all the time. The officers never stated to these people that they were undercover. Secondly, the cops who took out the old lady, should have been more prepared and took more cautious about who was in the house for others people sake and safety. Secondly people in their late 70's,80's and 90's tend to be in lala land. You have to understand that some old people are not stable enough to be on their own. Like my granny is 85 and owns a gun. When she burned her leg she refused to let the paramedics and police in to her house. She is old and is stuck in her own ways. She felt like she could treat herself like most old people do. Her daughter is a cop, and trust me it took alot of convincing for my granny to go to the hospital. So dont be judgemental, and dont always believe what you read.

Dont ram into a police car, drive away and hit a swat team van a few seconds after. they usually dont like that very much.
