A reminder on how to properly invoke the 5th Amendment’s protections on remaining silent.

Seems like a no brainer, but a little review never hurts.

The thing that drives me nuts about these people on YouTube who invoke their Fifth Amendment rights is they invoke them and then immediately start talking to the cops again.

I am a firm believer that the longer you talk to the police the more likely you are to say something they can use against you. When you do, they will. If you invoke your right to remain silent remain silent

If a person invokes his or her Fifth Amendment rights and then decide to engage in a conversation about the surface of the moon he or she might be digging a hole that may end up even deeper.

I remember watching a video of a traffic stop where the driver just asked the officer the same question the officer asked him.
The driver remained calm during the whole exchange and eventually the officer got so frustrated he let him go on his way.
