You should probably watch more shut the fuck up videos, until itβs sufficiently beaten into your head. Unless you have years of relevant law schooling under your belt, just shut the fuck up.
Pot Brothers! That's the video I was thinking of.
Stfu is widely best (better to do nothing than go negative), but there's the caveats of self-identification being necessary in some places, and drawing police hostility, isn't there? (e.g. oh, we're all nice and joyful? oh... no? nvm... hmm, I sense a traffic violation)
I'm primarily concerned about that part. What if stfu lets me get framed or get a short end of a stick? How do I prepare? Is stfu the be all end all?
Haven't seen the Regent one, I'll give that a watch.
There is no situation outside of basic ID verification where any statement you make will benefit you in any way. If a cop has decided he's going to arrest you then you're getting arrested. The proper time to fight against that is in court, not at the time of arrest.
that fact that youtube requires you to sign in just to see the videos shows how effective they are. lol
