Oh good to know the above advice doesn't apply to traffic stops. But how would you go about calling a lawyer if a cop knocks on your door? Will they consult quickly? I doubt the cops will wait very long.

This is why people have lawyers on retainer, or have a lawyer friend that they can call at the drop of a hat/ know on the door. If you don't know any lawyers personally, I'm not sure what to tell you, I met all of my lawyer friends while I was studying for my degree, and they were in law school.

The nice part is that they just have to be a lawyer most of the time. The cops in the US don't know the law, aren't trained in the law, and treat lawyers like the kryptonite that they are to cops.

Yeah I don't know any personally. I wouldn't think many people could just phone a law friend.
