It took the cops about three hours to get just my name once. Then they took me to an interview room and slid a paper across the table at me asking me to sign it so I could make a statement. One of the agents even pointed to what box he wanted me to check so I could waive my right to remain silent. At which time I spoke for only the second time, “Are you out of your ever loving mind? I ain’t signing a damned thing.”
That was it. They turned off the video camera and hauled my ass to county. I was arraigned the next day, posted bail and got released. My lawyer got me off completely and said it was due to having kept my mouth shut.
Supreme Court sets aside strict ruling on Miranda 'right to remain silent'
As for me, I plan to be nice to the cops, apologize, then explain why I intend to remain silent, and then do so. Thats it.
I agree with Scalia. Make it plain.
