I would be honest, if asked. I know I appreciate and trust those that are honest with me. I've never had a police officer ask me if there were weapons in the car when pulled over for a traffic stop. I imagine this does happen, though, but can't for the life of me figure out why one would ask if there was nothing to indicate that there might be weapons.

I'd rather get a lawyer and fight the issue knowing I was honest from the beginning than get a lawyer after getting caught in a lie. Once your credibility is gone, what do you have left to defend yourself? After all, such a scenario would be the officer's word against yours.

I don't see any harm in answering the question honestly.
