A gif of Keanu Reeves as Neo in The Matrix saying "you can't scare me with this gestapo crap. I know my rights. I want my phone call." He's a thin white man looking tired in a rumpled shirt and tie. He appears to be in a pale green interrogation room.

   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 talk to a lawyer.

   Also saying "I know my rights" sounds badass but it's probably a bad idea.

   It gives the cops a hook to say that, if they get you to talk later on, you did so freely and that they didn't coerce you. /1
