It’s #STFUfriday!
When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:
- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.
- Am I free to leave?
- I am not answering any questions.
- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."
- I want to talk to a lawyer.
Also saying "I know my rights" sounds badass but it's probably a bad idea.
It gives the cops a hook to say that, if they get you to talk later on, you did so freely and that they didn't coerce you. /1
