If stopped by cops, what do I say?

Well don't tell the officer that his mother fell from the ugly tree hitting every branch on the way down...

yeah, I'm sure we all have a long list of what NOT to say, I know I do. I mentioned one of them to peter nap a few days ago and even he said "you can't say that to them". I assured him I've never said it to any of them, I've thought it, but never said it.

Remember, cops ask questions to gain RAS and to investigate you. Why give them more???

can't stress this enough. They are not asking you questions in order to be nice

I heard a cop say once, does anyone know that guy(the one they were looking for) anyone have his phone number? Could someone call him and check and see if he is OK? We just want to know if he is OK. We just want to make sure he isn't in a ditch somewhere. That they were conscerned for his well being. They didn't know that he gave them the slip then joined back with the group and was sitting in front of em. We were all sitting there looking at him smiling as we listened to the cop's lies.

Uh huh sure you care

"Police are looking for bodies", to quote what Boston T. Party has to say about this in "You & The Police". If they have stopped you, they are going to look until they find something or until you give them reason to have RAS or worse, PC. They are on a fishing expedition at our expense.

The role of police in our society is to find something 'you' have done wrong, and arrest or cite you for it. Talking to them only makes that process easier.

'...anything you say, can and WILL be used against you....'
