[Crispus Attucks Patriot]

Never EVER cooperate with police if you're even THOUGHT to be suspected of anything by them.

Even if you're 1000% innocent of any remotely perceived offense.

See, their job isn't to help YOU or to get you out of any possible jam. Some will even make things up or use deceit to get you to admit to some "violation"...all of which is perfectly legal according to the SCOTUS. Their job is to build whatever case they can against you and turn it over to the prosecutor

He'll decide if whatever they say you did or didn't do warrants further action. He's at least been taught about trhe constitution. Most cops, who ironically are sworn to uphold said document, I have trouble believing can even READ it.

So ALWAYS avail yourself of your constitutional protectrions and rights. never sign any waivers to your Miranda warnings, and always, ALWAYS demand to see a lawyer before you say a single word.

I worked my way through college working for the police. They are decent people with some bad apples as in any profession.

Civil conversation and a positive attitude goes a long way with cops just like with other people.

But, again you should politely say you'd like to check with a lawyer before your person, car or home is searched, in spite of your desire to cooperate with the police.

ALWAYS demand to see a lawyer before you say a single word.

That's probably not good advice. While you can do that, it is going to raise the suspicion level of the cops to unholy levels. Expect to be detained while they call out a canine drug-sniffer unit.

You can talk yourself out of most situations if you're polite and cooperative up to the point where they're asking you to voluntarily waive your constitutional rights. At that point you tell them that your lawyer brother told you never to do that no matter how innocent you are.
