Here's a cop telling you why you should never talk to a cop.

They know a million tricks.

Great video and I learned a lot. If you do by mistake talk to the cops remember you can always stop. For my FBI interview my draft counselor told me I could identify myself, but that was all. Don't sign anything and don't answer questions.
And another thing. It isn't over if you plead the fifth. They will keep at it and at it. Once they assault you, its over. It means they have given up being legal. They will have to keep on committing crimes to protect themselves.
I made mistakes anyway. I couldn't stop myself. They were very very good at getting me to talk. No arm twisting involved. The whole war on terror is completely stupid. Ordinary cops and the FBI have a million ways to get anybody to blab themselves into jail.
As I later learned, even if you are a victim, don't assume the cops are on your side. They have too many other agendas. They live in another world where rules and ethics don't apply.
