It’s #STFUfriday!

When cops ask you questions, ask for a lawyer and then STFU:

- I am not discussing how I’m doing or where I’m going.

- Am I free to leave?

- I am not answering any questions.

- If they ask to search anything: "I do not consent to a search."

- I want to talk to a lawyer.

MA legislative briefing May 6 on joint venture, the idea that you're guilty of murder if you're present when someone else pulls the trigger. See link.

Good question from @alienghic in response to my #STFUfriday thread.

A prior thread is linked in the reply but seems cut off.

Q: What type of lawyer?
You want a criminal defense lawyer.

Q: How do you get a lawyer if you're actually arrested?
1. Best to have a name in mind, even if you've never spoken to the person (although that's better).

When looking, avoid billboard lawyers. Good lawyers are busy enough that they generally don't need to advertise.

What if the cops don't arrest you but they keep coming back? 🧵

Let's say you start talking to the cops. You realize that was a bad decision (you will). You have the right to change your mind and stop talking at any time. Don't compound your mistake. STFU. Lawyer. /1
