Just a quick word about police officers. If you're ever pulled over, or arrested, or stopped for questioning: KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. By all means, be cooperative, but only to the extent required of you by the law. When you are read the "Miranda Rights" the right to remain silent has nothing to do with the 1966 Supreme Court case nor does it have anything to do with the police. Your right to not incriminate yourself is a GUARANTEED Constitutional right under the 5th Amendment.
You will never improve your position by speaking to the police. They are there to write that ticket or put the bad guy in jail by any means necessary. THEY ARE EVEN ALLOWED TO LIE TO YOU!! NO...SERIOUSLY!! Exercise your right to remain silent.
Again, be cooperative with police, but only to the extent required by law. Know your rights.
Good call, I tried explaining to someone a few days ago that the police can and will lie to you if it helps them.
