Only say “no comment” until you have a solicitor.
For folks with time on their hands, here’s a classic law school talk explaining in more detail why you should shut the fuck up:
Care to summarize for the video-impaired?
Don’t talk to the police. Ever. There is literally no benefit to you, even if you’re completely innocent, only tell the truth without having a single slip up due to nerves, the policemen do not mix anything up about the questions and you can present an alibi for proving your innocence. There are no circumstances under which talking to the police can help you in any meaningful way. There are however multiple ways in which a completely innocent person can maneouver themselves into deep shit by talking to the police. So, as the video puts it, shut the fuck up!
TLDW: lawyers from the NLG advising everyone to “Shut the Fuck Up”
Give me a few minutes and I’ll edit this with a transcription.
Oh Hello. We were just talking about you kids.
I’m Denise Heberle. And I’m Bill Goodman. Together we’ve been fighting fascism for over 50 years.
And so much has changed over those 50 years, such as the ingredients to a successful fire b*mb. And the glass that bank windows are made of.
But there’s one thing that hasn’t changed over 50 years, something that is so important to tell you kids who are new to this movement…
SHUT THE FUCK UP
You’re sitting in the police transport van after a protest?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
In a holding cell with your comrades?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Cop knocks on your door?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Texting on an unsecured device?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Pulled over by the cops after a protest?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Cop just asking about your day?
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Feds call your mom?
Tell your mother to…
SHUT THE FUCK UP
Now, repeat after me…
When the cops come calling, what do you do?
SHUT THE FUCK UP!I would add “communicating on social media without a VPN outside of your country’s allied reach” as well. But proper social media hygiene is too big of a concept to fit in a nice snappy clip or quick statement like this.
Anyway, the shit some of y’all (social media users across all platforms) are posting in the wake of Charlie Kirk losing the gun control debate is screaming “add me to another watchlist and correlate to my real identity please!”
