1. Keep a very clean interior of your car. Store un-needed mess in the trunk. Why? it just looks better.
2. Stop giving so many specifics if your pulled over. Just answer casually like you would to a neighbor. "What are you doing?".. "Observing West Texas at Night". "Looking for anything in particular?" "no".
3. Be courteous and hand over any requested documentation without a fight. Arguments will always be lost on the side of the road. And you will be the loser. They have the badge, you do not. So don't forget it.
4. Keep a video cam with you to record stops at all times. They have them on so you might as well have one on too.
5. Don't go out West with a "confrontational attitude". People normally get what they ask for. Want confrontation, you will most likely get it. Go out and enjoy the beautiful scenery and have fun. Every hobby has rules. Our rules are not the best we could hope for but if we abide by them then maybe we can get some more options to open up for us.

Good Luck!
