Re: Fishing Expeditions & Dreams of FOSS Alternatives to Privacy-Violator Waze
"I've never really understood people who take the "I know my rights so won't answer any questions that a police officer asks me" attitude...sometimes just being polite and civilised can be very helpful."
The thing is, if they decide you're guilty, that won't help. It'll just give them ammunition.
Never, ever talk to the police. Ever. It's just that simple. You were lucky, but they could just as well have insisted on taking your phone and searching it. Would you have complied with that? How about a quick trip to the station and a voluntary stay in the cells?
