“I learned that I must exercise my rights myself from the outset of any encounter, because the police surely are not concerned with my rights. Without this critical information, I would not have known what to say and what to expect in response from the authorities (the ‘armchair lawyer’ response seemed to be ripped straight from the BUSTED video), and likely would have gotten myself into a great load of trouble for a non-crime. Earlier in my life, I would have ‘cooperated’ with the police in answering their questions, confident that they would see my side of the story and know the conductor was full of it.”
