For anyone dealing with law enforcement of any kind:
Am I being detained? If not, bye.
If I am, I have no right to speak to you without counsel. Even with counsel, I still ain't speaking.
Most people "convicted" of anything are put behind bars because of shit they said, so let me give you a tip: SHUT THE FUCK UP.
If they had reason to put you behind bars without you speaking, it would be done already. Why do you think they want to ask you questions? If they ask you, "Are you so and so?" The answer is simple: "I don't answer questions". Or just respond with another question that doesn't give anything away, such as: "Why are you on my property?"
