This approach only works when the police agency that you are dealing with respects your right to remain silent and to have an attorney present. Or even understands what those things mean. Out here in ruby red Trump country where I live many local "police" departments are nothing more than rural gangs. People that don't have the education or skills to find any other job.

Many of the people drawn to policing out here would LOVE the opportunity to rough up or even disappear one of the "pinko Liberal scumbags" that they have been taught to hate and fear. These people are ready, willing and able to do Trump's bidding should he decide to move to the next level of repression. Which of course is determining that those who dare to oppose him are "enemies of the people".

It is coming my friends.
