If you attend a protest, you need to read this and follow it:
Good read!
A lot of great info, but "If you choose to answer questions, be sure to tell the truth” is a mistake. Remember, anything you say "can and will be used against you." Key word, against. Nothing you tell them will be used to help you. Remain silent.
Also don't forget to actually verbally invoke your rights, being silent doesn't invoke it in the US
the Court held that, unless and until a criminal suspect explicitly states that they are relying on their right to remain silent, their voluntary statements may be used in court and police may continue to question them. The mere act of remaining silent is not sufficient to imply the suspect has invoked their rights even when the suspect actually intended their silence to have that effect.
Something like: "I hereby invoke the 5th amendment right to silence, and I want to talk to a lawyer"
Practice memorizing numbers so your experience goes smoother.
Make sure you speak clearly with minimal slang, or they might willfully misinterpret what you're saying to deny your rights. Like to think you want a lawyer dog.
Nailed it. Am I being detained? Name and badge number? Am I free to go? This are the only questions to ask.
The only statement you give is one word after they say you’re not free to go: lawyer.
Call for a lawyer and don’t say another word.
Here’s a reminder of how to interact with police.
It's correct. If you choose to answer questions, you should tell the truth. That should be preceded, in bold, "don't fucking answer questions! If the police talk to you, shut the fuck up."
If you're in Washington as in this article, and need a lawyer after being arrested at a protest, the phone number is 206-OK-TRY-ME
