It’s #STFUfriday!
When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:
- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.
- Am I free to leave?
- I am not answering any questions.
- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."
- I want to speak to a lawyer.
Invoking Miranda can't be used to prove guilt.
But some truly despicable DAs once thought this shouldn't apply to mentally ill people. "Invoking Miranda shows you're sane!"
I'm not making this up. /1
