    That you can leave the interrogation room any time you want if you’re being questioned for a crime.

      What is the best script to deal with this?

      1. Am I being detained?
      • yes: (I want to Speak to lawyer) --> 1
      • no:
      1. Am I free to go?
      • yes: Go
      • no: --> repeat 1

      ♾️

      No need to go outside this script?

        speak very basic and plain. don’t use coloqualisms, don’t use slang, etc.

        One guy told a cop “I want my lawyer, dog”, and and they never got him one saying there were no dog lawyers, and the courts…of course, backed up the police, in clear violation of common sense and decency.

          Just pretend they’re a computer, same thing with laws. There’s a reason it usually called the Tax Code or Criminal Code

          Make 'em divide by zero by recursively using that script or the endless WHY loop

          But you can choose to do that confidently with something like this is mind

          You just refuse to accept non yes/no answers. Play dumb. So…yesno…i dont understand

          Edit: or just do that kid thing where they ask “Why?” -> Why? -> Why?..

      Ehh…this isn’t always the case. But you definitely never have to say anything to the police. You just ask for a lawyer and say nothing else. The lawyer will know whether or not they can hold you.
