"
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.

I know there's good ones and bad ones. Unfortunately, I grew up in what is commonly known as "the hood".

Most cops there treated everyone the same, disrespectfully. And no, I'm not against the cops, nor do I think the TRUE criminals from the inner city get a bad deal. I mean those gangstaz and hoodlums live close to US, what makes you think we want 'em there. But a lot of the cops I've seen in action just saw another Black face, not a person. (the Black cops, too.)

I mean, I'd like to work in federal law enforcement or prosecution some day, so I ain't anti-cop. I just know how the system operates. Their main job is to arrest violators, and if you're caught up in any adverse situation with them , you don't say ANYTHING until you lawyer up.
