Don't talk to the police. Ever. Even if you've done absolutely nothing wrong. ESPECIALLY if you've done absolutely nothing wrong.

This 45-minute video of a law school professor teaching law students this concept is must-see, must-know material. He explains why and even has a current police detective explain why he and police will always win any investigation where the suspect/detainee talks to them. Guilty or not. Describes it as an amateur fighter stepping into the ring with Mike Tyson in his prime; you won't win.

The only thing to do when the police decide to question you, make small talk is not to say anything. Don't step into the ring with a prize fighter no matter how innocent you know you are, no matter how eloquent you think you are, no matter how much law you think you know. Watch this video, take it to heart, share it with those you care about. Professor talks fast, gotta keep up. He's entertaining and easy to listen to. A little dated, but this truth is timeless:

You can record transmissions if you use a boom mic on your iPhone and put the boom mic 🎤 to your temple. You can buy the boom mic that connects to the iPhone on Amazon. There are people who can filter out the sound from the static.
