NEVER engage law enforcement in conversation, no matter what. Just STFU!
Correct. It should have gone down like this:
Officers : "Can we speak with you about your visit to the capitol? We have received a tip".
Citizens: "Do you have a warrant for my arrest?"
Officers: "No, we just want to talk and clear some things up"
Citizen: "Do you have a search warrant describing the person or items to be seized"?
Officers: "Like I said, we just want to talk about last year".
Citizen: "I'll be more than happy to help you with your inquiry, officers, but you'll need to set an appointment with my attorney. (hands over his attorney's card). Just tell him to call me when you are sitting in his office and I'll come right over. Now, if you please, enjoy your ride back to Coonface Building".
Yes! Hand them your lawyer’s business card! Have a nice day. Adios.
