6. Just never talk to the police.

It is a bad idea all around, it can not possibly help you.

I always ask the police: "Is this a consensual encounter, or am I being detained?"

If it is consensual, I say "Well then, have a nice day"

If I am being detained, I say "I am reserving ALL of my rights, including my right to be secure in my possessions, and my right to remain silent, I do not consent to any searches, that is all I have to say to you."

It is really that easy.
