Don't talk to the police

So following this advice and the knowledge that police can lie to you in interrogation^Winterview (and not only there) I would do this:

1. tell the cop that you will exercise your 5th amendment. 2. tell the cop that you know that the police is allowed to lie to interviewee. 3. tell the cop that you will add the time wasted here to cost that will be billed to him or most likely sued for in counter claims court. 4. tell the cop "that by detaining me here further you agree to accept any and all such costs" 5. tell them it is their move.

do 3. and 4. if you got the guts if not do only the rest.

And to fill the silience whistle. (Preferbly the most annoying and catching tune you know).

If you watch part 2, the (ex?) cop points out that police specifically are allowed to lie during interrogations.

I think the best thing to do would be to just calmly, firmly and repeatedly ask for a lawyer.

I would suggest never being this obnoxious to someone who has power over you.

Just stop being obnoxious altogether over the age of thirteen.

Why? So one would be more 'likeable' and 'popular'? So one can "brown-nose" ones way to success?

No, seriously I am not that obnoxious unless someone pisses me off and believe me after working as an onsite technician for an ISP it is hard to piss me off.

Yes. So when you meet people that are worth knowing, they don't have an aversion to meeting you again.

>So one can "brown-nose" ones way to success?

Unless you are a super-genius, you are apt to more quickly obtain interesting and lucrative work if people enjoy spending time with you than if the opposite is true.

If you are a super-genius, then feel free to be obnoxious (Newton, Einstein, and a host of others come to mind).

I am equaly obnoxious to someone who is obnoxious to me.

I find being detained for an crime one hasnt done very odius.

And that I would shut up would be very objectionable in the police officers opinion.

So should I disregard this good advice that is the main toppic of the linked video just so I dont apear obnoxious in the eyes of the police?
