minus-squareCosmicTurtle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up68·11 months agoDon’t talk to police officers. Memorize this script: “Why did you pull me over?” (When they ask questions like where are you going? Where are you coming from? What is that smell?) “I’m not discussing my day. “Am I being detained or am I free to go?” (If you are being detained, invoke the 5th amendment.)

minus-squarebe_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.socialOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down2·11 months agoI was trying to accomplish that if they delete their account or comment there is still context for the comic I posted. I’m genuinely curious why that would be bothersome in any case.
minus-squareDecoy321@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·11 months agoAh, I understand. I was just curious. I personally didn’t find it bothersome, but I don’t speak for anyone but me.
minus-squarebe_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.socialOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 months agoAll good, and I apologize for assuming your tone. (Strangely I thought I’d already replied but Kbin seems to have eaten it.)
