What's my mantra to be when PC plod asks me things?

To be honest, if you start being a cunt to Plod they're more likely to be a cunt right back. Be polite and co-operative without volunteering that you've got a baggie of heroin stuffed up your crack would be my advice.

48 minutes?

Anyway... Why would you now want to talk to police people? If you've got nothing to hide, you'll be alright.

Unless you're, say, a black guy, and the rozzer in question is, say, a racist cunt.

Do a search for "uk bustcard" - there are a bunch of them about and they all seem to say roughly the same stuff.

I might THINK I've got nothing to hide, but who knows? Besides, the wikileak guy has nothing to hide and he's about to be hung drawn and cut into thirds.



Ta.

Assuming the copper is white, are we? Racist.

Could be Asian. Racist.

How dare you. Some of my best friends are wealthy white people.

Yeah, and some of my best friends know some Asian people, so I'm not racist either.

Also, you know, my mum.

& I'm a Paki & my friends are White, Purple, Black & Orange

Back to topic

A few years ago when out in London with some mixed colours friend (white, black & asian) I was stopped & asked questions on why I was taking photos of buildings. A few of my friends were annoyed by this & wanted to confront the officers. But I just told them that we are a bunch of friends from Oxford having a day/evening out in London. Showed him the photos I had taken on my camera. He apologised & we moved on laughing & joking.

Your mum knows your mum.

That's not really what they're on about in the video. In that situation, the copper has seen some possibly suspicious behaviour, and is asking you why you're doing this activity. He has absolutely nothing on you at all.

What the video is saying, is that if you're arrested or pulled over, shut the hell up, because you do not know what they have on you, all you know is what crime you're suspected of doing. By denying you've done it, you may confirm some other piece of evidence they have on you, or they may catch you in a lie which you don't even know you've told.

Imagine some cops came round your house and arrested you for beating James McDoughnut to death, but you're completely innocent,and you say 'I didn't do it, never hurt anyone, never met the bloke, never heard of him before you said' But a witness puts you in the same pub as him the night he died, and noted that you didn't really like him. Pretty damning evidence. Of course, if you'd waited for a lwayer, you might have found out that James McDoughnut is generally known as 'Ronnie' and you'd known him for years under that name, never finding out his real name.

It's pretty sensible advice to be honest, if you are read your rights (I know its slightly different here, but it has the same general gist) shut your big gob. If it goes to court, then you can tell your side of the story.
