          Kinder eggs are super illegal in the US. People actually get in trouble sometimes instead of just having it confiscated.

          It is an extreme application of a rule saying that you can’t have non food items in food.

      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?

          Ya but they use the human fear of silence/not responding as a lever to get people talking. I feel like you’d be more successfull just sticking to a safe script like this

            Cops will find any excuse they want to be assholes. By shutting the fuck up you make your lawyer’s job a lot easier.

            Though it’s probably best to say “I an invoking my fifth amendment right to silence” so they know what you’re doing before they beat you and shoot your dog.

              Im referring more to places where you don’t technically have the right to have the lawyer sit in the interview nor is there a hard and fast 5th amendment. Like you don’t have to talk but they’re basically allowed to verbally pull teeth once a phone call with a lawyer is completed (where they just read “don’t say anything” remotely and hang up on you)

                I’m not the person you replied to, but I am confused as to what you mean. You don’t have to invoke the fifth amendment in order to not speak with police (the fifth amendment is more used in court), but you always have the right to have an attorney present when speaking with police in the US.

                  You have to actively and affirmatively express you want a lawyer and to remain silent for it to count.

                  Just being quiet or saying something like “I “think” I need a lawyer has been ruled not to count.”
