Rookie mistake.

Three rules to live by:

1) Always pay your taxes

2) Don’t talk to the police

3) Don’t take photographs with your clothes off

I might amend #2 a bit to read "Be friends with the police" as that has historically been more beneficial to those who are.

Lots of people have believed that they were friends with the police and were actually being manipulated into metaphorically hanging themselves- some of them innocent.

Counterargument, why you should not talk to the police (In the US): https://youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE

The point that being friends with police will be beneficial to you - Means there's a scenario where the inverse is also true. Not being friends with police is used to your detriment.

Police Officers exist in a career field that is riddled with incidents of Tunnel Vision. The sibling comment posts a video about not talking to police from a law professor. I'd heed that advice.

That law professor clearly never talked his way out of a speeding ticket.

> 2) Don’t talk to the police

2b) Don't buy phones that talk to the police.
