… they are always trying to figure out a way to throw you in jail. They lie. They are lazy. They want to close cases without trying. If they can construe something you told them as a lie, that is a crime they can throw you in jail for. Which they like to do.
Basically, volunteering information to cops without a lawyer advising you is a recipe for fucking up your life, which cops love to do.
So shut the fuck up, and explicitly ask for a lawyer if a cop want to talk to you. It is your right (in the US) to have a lawyer. Take advantage of that. And don’t talk.
I guess I've only ever had decent experiences with them, then. Sorry to hear you haven't.
I’m lucky enough not to be in a targeted group, so I don’t interact with them, except once for a traffic ticket. But I still wouldn’t ever talk to them because you are risking your life and liberty when you do.
I've talked to cops a couple times, and they've been extremely helpful for what I needed.
Your privilege is showing.
Lol ok, chief
