Good evening!
I am an American, due to travel to Spain sometime next month. This will be my first trip to the country, and I will be travelling with passengers. I'm curious to know, what the expectations are when dealing with local and national police in Spain.
Specifically, things like:
If detained by authorities and asked for identification, do I need to provide it? Will I need to use a passport, or will another form of ID (such as my Colorado driver's license) suffice? Will they even ask, or just expect ID to be provided?
If a police officer initiates a traffic stop on me/my vehicle, should I remain in my vehicle or should I exit the vehicle and walk to the police officer?
If I am asked a question by an officer, should I answer it or remain silent?
