Yes, I would be one of them. However that still doesn't mean what I've said isn't generally best practice, even in areas where it's not fully required per case law. At the initial interaction with police, you should identify yourself, then clearly say you cannot answer questions without first getting legal advice. Then shut up and don't answer questions.

Although, if you really want to get into the nitty gritty, other jurisdictions may have more extensive requirements for what you must say, so shutting up isn't necessarily the best advice everywhere, all the time. There's also subtle differences between the right to silence and rights against self-incrimination.

In the UK, which first started using right to silence in the 17th century (and then spread its law over much of the rest of the world), inferences can be made from silence. No conviction can be wholly based on silence, but it can be the wrong move. In some situations, eg fraud and terrorism, the right to silence is reduced and you may be obligated to answer. In these circumstances you cannot legally remain silent, but you are still protected against self-incrimination.

You can’t not link the National Lawyer's Guild version! It’s like the best one, and they’re mentioned by name in the picture haha

That’s absolutely right. My interest in mushrooms led me to read a book about shiitakes(the mushroom at the end of the world). In my excitement I ordered some to make with my ramen at lunch(in a carpenter I have a medical card for weed. How the fuck does that make me a criminal? Wanna talk about mushrooms, man? Because I have a hell of a lot more to say than “they get you high”. Me and all my grand kids hunt for them all year long as they are learning what they are called, which ones are useful, and which aren’t. Your just as wrong and arrogant as you could possibly be. Edit: do I look like a drug user? You know exactly what I look like probably. Picture that but keep me kind of handsome. Is that different than a pig fucking with a black dude because he’s black? I’d bet you would hate that.

I agree handing over your ID is probably good, even in a state where it isn't required. That is unless you're doing something obviously illegal and they don't know yet and you think you can hide your identity somehow, but I doubt it.

However, the right to remain silent and to an attorney are important. The location you're coming from or going to can be used as bullshit reasons to arrest you even if it's not bad. The way you speak can be used to arrest you. The smell of your breath can be used to arrest you.

Basically, hand over your I'd through a crack in the window. Keep your hands on the steering wheel in plain sight. If they ask questions, tell them you won't be answering questions and invoke your right to remain silent, then STFU. You won't win their game. Cooperate with the basic requirements, but don't give them more than the basic information. It's their job to figure out what you were doing and if it was illegal. Don't help them do their job.

I feel like this needs tobe said: Cops in the UK are still bastards.
