When dealing with law enforcement confrontations know the three basic categories of confrontation to avoid ending up in third and last category - Arrest.

I read a lot of case law on this subject but I found these Youtube Videos to be the most understandable and informative to explain and diagram the three categories of police confrontations. These categories apply to street encounters as well as vehicle stops.
