“I don’t answer questions. Am I being detained?”
You must log in or register to comment.
Law & Order as the number one authoritative source for interactions.
When the SVU makes arrests, during interrogations: “You have to talk to us, cooperate and we can put up a good word with the district attorney. Confess now and we can work on a deal later. If you don’t cooperate with us we can’t help you.”
The exact same cops the very second one of their victims is arrested by another department for an unrelated crime: “DON’T TALK TO THEM, DON’T ANSWER ANY QUESTION, ASK FOR A LAWYER, REJECT ANY OF THEIR DEALS!”
Dude, do not get me started on bullshit copaganda shows. I have rants.
“You’re lucky the victim isn’t pressing charges”
Yeah it’s not up to them
Aw jeez, how many DA’s does one city need??
And don’t forget this quality piece of advice. https://youtu.be/RkN4duV4ia0?si=OR7WLUns071RYpk4
Every day is Shut the Fuck Up Friday
The 25 word script:
- Why did you pull me over?
- I’m not discussing my day
- Am I being detained or am I free to go?
Don’t forget:
- I invoke the 5th.
(You only had 21 of the 25 words.)
I knew what it was without even clicking on it.
Shut the fuck up.
Truly words to live by. :)
I choose to invoke my right to remain silent.
You need to look up the exact verbiage for your state, because with some you have to say it correctly or they can use it against you in court.
The best thing to say is, “I will not be answering any questions without an attorney present.” This should shut down any questioning immediately.

They will often keep trying. “OK, so you’ve requested a lawyer and we won’t be able to talk to you after this, we can’t help you at all. Are you sure you want to go to jail for life instead of just explaining what happened?” and then it becomes “subject changed his mind.” It’s harder than it sound sometimes, but you have to stick to it and not say a damn word.
I was just wondering about this presentation, specifically what he thinks about being able to record your interaction with a phone now (no he said she said). Still better to not say anything that can be used against you. Will watch again!
I’m not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but I am 100% for recording ALL of your interactions with the police. Up until recently (2020) in my state the police were abusing an anti-wiretapping law to prevent citizens from recording them, but since then:
This right was established in a case brought by ACLUM, Martin v. Rollins, 982 F.3d 813, 827 (1st Cir. 2020), which was consolidated with another case, Project Veritas Action Fund v. Rollins. There, the First Circuit said the Massachusetts Wiretap Statute’s criminalization of the secret recording of police officers in public spaces violated the First Amendment.
You’re within your First Amendment rights to record police and your interactions, surreptitiously or not, at any time. State law cannot supersede the Constitution. You benefit because the police are often intentionally slow (see any number of articles posted here in this community) to release their own bodycam footage, and often go weeks if not months or years providing a false narrative to the public. Record it yourself.
I would add, STFU Friday:
