This video saved me from serious charges with mandatory minimums. 7 months later, cops call me demanding a statement. Its very hard to stick to "i have nothing to state" when they are aggressive, threating to charge you. and they did just that- Charged and fingerprinted. hauled to court about 8 times. they dropped charges before we could plead because they never gave us full disclosure of their evidence against us.
and the shit they said to us as they tried to get us to talk - what the actual fuck. whatever they were trying to pin on us had 0 to do with us. they obviously wanted all of us to turn on one guy who did NOTHING wrong. it was very disgusting. You cant help but see police in a different light after.
No matter how hard it is in the moment, dont talk. if they have enough to arrest you, theyre going to do it. If it goes to court, your lawyer can make a statement on your behalf laying out all the facts. Making a statement to cops opens the door for them to take advantage of you, confuse you, and get you to incriminate yourself or others without you even realizing it.
