Plead the Fifth
A
reminder
that the odds are so stacked against you, you probably should just plead the
fifth (i.e. stay silent) every time you have to talk to the cops. It’s a
combination of more crimes than the (US) Federal government can count (and thus
the very real possibility you’re committed a crime unknowingly), plus the
ability of cops to take your statements out of context and spin them against
you. Plus, you avoid the possibility of a providing a false confession —
confessing to a crime you didn’t commit, sometimes just to get the cops to
leave you alone.
