   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 speak to a lawyer.

   Keep it simple. In the US, asking for a lawyer is the most powerful thing you can say. If you are in custody, the police are obligated to cut off questioning about *any* crime once you say this. /1
