Comment on Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest

the Court held that, unless and until a criminal suspect explicitly states that they are relying on their right to remain silent, their voluntary statements may be used in court and police may continue to question them. The mere act of remaining silent is not sufficient to imply the suspect has invoked their rights even when the suspect actually intended their silence to have that effect.
Something like: “I hereby invoke the 5th amendment right to silence, and I want to talk to a lawyer”
Practice memorizing numbers so your experience goes smoother.

Make sure you speak clearly with minimal slang, or they might willfully misinterpret what you’re saying to deny your rights. Like to think you want a lawyer dog.
