The only thing I know to tell them is fuck off, lawer.

He argues that because of Salinas v. Texas, the fact that someone has asserted the Fifth Amendment can be used as evidence against them in court, so he suggests criminal defendants and interrogatees instead invoke the Sixth Amendment, the right to legal counsel.[3]



In essence the Supreme Court ruled the Fifth Amendment's Self-Incrimination Clause does not protect a defendant's refusal to answer questions asked by law enforcement before he has been arrested or read his Miranda rights.[41] In the concrete case the court issued the following holding: When petitioner had not yet been placed in custody or received Miranda warnings, and voluntarily responded to some questions by police about a murder, the prosecution's use of his silence in response to another question as evidence of his guilt at trial did not violate the Fifth Amendment because petitioner failed to expressly invoke his privilege not to incriminate himself in response to the officer's question.[42] Long-standing judicial precedent has held that any witness who desires protection against self-incrimination must explicitly claim that protection.[43] This requirement ensures that the government is put on notice when a defendant intends to claim this privilege and allows the government to either argue that the testimony is not self-incriminating or offer immunity. The plurality opinion of Justices Alito, Roberts and Kennedy reiterated two exceptions to this principle: 1) that a criminal defendant does not need to take the stand at trial in order to explicitly claim this privilege; and 2) that failure to claim this privilege must be excused when that failure was due to government coercion. The plurality opinion declined to extend these exceptions to the situation in Salinas v. Texas. Notwithstanding popular misconceptions, the Court held that the Fifth Amendment does not establish a complete right to remain silent but only guarantees that a criminal defendant may not be forced to testify against himself or herself. Therefore, as long as police do not deprive defendants of the opportunity to claim a Fifth Amendment privilege, there is no Constitutional violation.[41] The Court stated that there was no "ritualistic formula" necessary to assert the privilege against self-incrimination, but that a person could not do so "by simply standing mute." If an individual fails to invoke his right, and is later charged with a crime, at trial the prosecution may use his silence as evidence of his guilt.[44]

Case studies are hard to define but do help. ofcourse any silence or unwillingness to cooperate will make you look awfully guilty to a juror enless they hate cops.
 
Ur right their just doing they're job, but i can get turned off real quick an be in a f off kinda mood especially If someones getting pushy and they do. How about respectfully buz off?
I grew up a rough kid in a rough area. I've had my run ins an have had my ass kicked multiple times, even tryed beating me Into a confession. I probably deserved 50% of it.
However overall I'm not a fan of the tactics.
only reason things are changing is everyone has camera phones now days police are being held more accountable.
Now days I have no time or money for them I havent had so much as a ticket In 10 years full coverage is like $60 month for me lol.

Prosecutors and experts also give bits of information to jurors that a judge tells them not to use it in their decision making, which is bull because it's already in their heads. I guess it could possibly get mis trialed or appealed but still.
 
Two excellent resources for those that haven't seen them (US based).

Follow up book with more details. Short and quick read. But read it multiple times. Lots of nuance, 5th amendment vs 6th amendment, etc.

I remember this video!!! I saw it awhile back, it was extremely eye opening.

I support the police. But you can still respect them while protecting your innocence and exercising your right to remain silent
