Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

So we are in dagerous times now especially for leftists, and i wanted to make a post with some informaton for everyone. This will include a few videos to watch where a lawyer explains some stuff about how to interact with police safely. What some of the tactics they use are, and how to counter them.

The lies they'll tell you and what to say back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoKsuZGI9G4

Loophole in the right to remain silent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaRnsgFfZUI

What to do when cops knock on the door: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKycv8txbuA

Watching these could end up saving you from going to prison on some bullshit charge they made up so I think it's important everyone watches them. Especially considering how the US government is cracking down on dissent in general lately. This stuff may not stop them from arresting you on some bullshit, but doing it all should make it much easier for a lawyer to get you out afterwards.

Not sure exactly which video your talking about. To be clear on the right to a lawyer tho. There is a difference between having a right to a lawyer at trial and having a right to not answer questions without an attorney present. If you cannot get an attorney while being questioned you still stop them from questioning you further by saying you wont answer any questions without one. At which point you say you'll use your right to remain silent and nothing else.

Also this wasnt some sort of like oh the US legal system is so fair and you have rights so use them post. It was more like a educate yourself on how to make it as hard as possible to for the cops to fuck you over post.
