Can You Answer a Simple Question?
Last Friday, I had one of the most adrenaline provoking experiences I ve had in over a decade. I had the opportunity to ride with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, doing drug interdiction along Interstate 35 (I-35), in Northwest Missouri. Starting the shift at 3:00 am, the Patrolman I was riding with was accompanied on the road by another Patrolman, driving the K-9 Unit car, with a German Shepard that had a look in his eyes that said, Go ahead, and make my day!
Let me tell you, when you make a traffic stop after having jumped across the median, and then barreling at nearly 130 mph to catch up with the targeted vehicle, your

Mike , the patrolman I was riding with (Mike is not his real name) had developed a very successful strategy of questioning over the years, that allows him to intuitively know whether or not he should move forward, asking for permission to search their vehicle. F.Y.I., you do not have to give them permission, but they do reserve the right to have the K-9 officer walk the dog around your vehicle nonetheless, and he hits while sniffing, that s probable cause, and the search is on.

A typical conversation went something like this:
Patrolman: Where you going today?
Driver of stopped vehicle: To visit a friend.
Patrolman: Where does your friend live?
Driver of stopped vehicle: In Lansing, Michigan.
Patrolman: Really, I m somewhat familiar with that area, what street does he live on?
Driver of stopped vehicle: ( there is a noticeable delay in answering) On the south side, I can t really remember the exact street address, I just kind of know the landmarks.

Patrolman: So what are you guys gonna do?
Driver of stopped vehicle: I think were gonna go camping.
Patrolman: When was the last time you were up there?
Driver of stopped vehicle: It was a couple of years ago.
Patrolman: Oh, so you have been there before then? I mean that s how you know how to get there, with the landmarks and all?
Driver of stopped vehicle: That s right.
Patrolman: Question; you said he s

Patrolman: Would it be okay with you if we search your vehicle?
Driver of stopped vehicle: I d rather you not, I d prefer you just give me my ticket so I can get on my way?
It was at this point that the K-9 officer arrived, and the show began.

The wonderful part about this is that you can use it without seeming like you are an interrogator. Used with the right voice tone and body language, you can even come across as someone who is genuinely interested and curious. So few people are ever truly listened to, that when they finally sense that someone is in fact interested in what they have to say, they ll open up and chatter like a chipmonk. In fact, I fully advocate first accessing a state of genuine curiosity; it will facilitate you sending the needed non-verbal signals.
As with everything else I write about, I trust that you ll use this
