Don't Talk to the Police (2012)
For most of the population this is very bad advice.<p>It’s important to remember he’s assuming you have or can afford legal counsel. If you’re like most people and you can’t, ignoring or refusing to answer the questions of a police officer can seem rude, can make you appear guilty, and can get you singled out for charges, that later you won’t be able to afford to defend yourself against.<p>I knew someone who took the advice of this video. He was driving in a car with multiple people, there were drugs in the car, cops pulled them over. “Whose drugs are these?” Everyone says “not mine officer.” This guy remained silent. “Are these yours?” Silence.<p>All of the possession charges were put on him, and everyone else was free to go. The drugs weren’t his.<p>I never followed up to see what happened to him, but he was completely broke, so I can’t imagine it was good.
