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.

Willis knows what happens when you talk to the cops. Listen to Willis.

As with every #STFUfriday post, I'm a lawyer in the USA. These comments are based on law in the USA. (And they apply to all people in the USA, whether or not they are citizens.) Some US states provide more protections than this. /end

@D_J_Nathanson worth mentioning that one must clearly and unequivocally invoke the right to remain silent? i'm thinking salinas v texas -- simply stfu is insufficient, and the cops can continue to question you unless you are explicit about invoking your miranda rights. at least, that's my understanding (not a lawyer).
