First of all, what you say to a police officer can NOT be used against you unless the officer has read you your rights. Once he reads you your rights then anything you say can and will be used against you. Second, a police officer is a police officer 24/7. If he sees anything out of the ordanary his oblegated to check it out. Taking something from somebodies yard is probable cuase for pulling you over and checking you out. None of us like it when we get bad mouth for doing what we do(scrappig) but you all are first to bad mouth a police officer for doing his job. If your not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to worrry about. End of rant.

I think you may be mistaken: "Please be advised that if you do answer questions before being arrested, your statements may be used as evidence during trial."

Except when hes out of his jurisdiction. He has no right to stop anybody. All he can do in that situation is call the cops who actually have jurisdiction in that area. This is coming from someone whos wife is a cop.
