Obligatory: You have to explicitly invoke your 5th amendment rights, because the fucking supreme court made a dumass decision that says silence doesn’t not imply you’ve invoked your right to silence. (What a stupid rule 🤦♂️)
Comment on Is cops being evil/lazy/incompetent a USA specific thing, or is it the same everywhere in the world?

it’s everywhere, but in the usa it’s exacerbated by the fact that most people have guns
while watching bodycam footage I often find myself thinking “just open the car door and cuff him, why hesitate and risk starting a car chase”
followed by the realization “oh, he has a gun”
obligatory Don’t talk to the police
