But I'd have to say, better start meditating if you want to be prepared to be able to keep silent.
This principle, that people can't stand to be silent, make it particularly tragic that so many people jump to agree with allowing interrogators to torture.
@givebirthathome - You don't actually have to be silent (at least I don't). The general rule is: Anything you say can and will be used against you... unless you're asking questions.
@givebirthathome - For example, in a traffic stop one of the things I'm often asked is, "Where are you headed?" to which I'll politely respond, "Officer, do you have reasonable, articulable suspicion that I'm headed somewhere to commit a crime or somewhere that I'm expressly forbidden by law to be? Why are you asking me that and how is it relevant to this detention?"
@givebirthathome - That will usually bring something along the lines of, "I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!" to which I might respond, "Officer, taking into consideration that the high courts have ruled and do repeatedly uphold that there is a difference between law and statute and that anyone failing to differentiate between the two commits and act of negligence equal to fraud, am I lawfully obliged to answer your questions?"
@givebirthathome - You also have to be prepared to endure their intimidation, which is minimized when they realize that you know full well how to place them under commercial lien for the rest of their lives for any violation of your rights. If you cannot be silent, it's no problem; be as vocal as you need to be, so long as you're asking questions and not making statements. He who questions well learns well (maxim in law).
@givebirthathome - "...people jump to AGREE with allowing interrogators to torture."
That's key. Everything they do is by consent (where consent is often unconscionable contract). Too many people don't realize that just about everything police/courts do is an offer to contract. Even giving them your name is entrance to a contract. Police/courts are providing you a service, even when they're threatening you and even when they are hauling you off to jail. That service can be lawfully waived.
This is the funniest video ever.
