    Never talk to cops, refuse to be helpful to them, don’t take water or any drink they offer you if they arrest you.

      It’s also worth noting that you have to explicitly and firmly invoke your right to an attorney, or they’ll just ignore it

      Edit: in the US

        No, they take your bio information (fingerprints, saliva etc) off of the liquid containing object and possibly the liquid itself. All cops can and will do this no matter what country they operate in.

      As someone who has been arrested in Germany, no, you really shouldn’t. They are less likely to shoot you on a whim, but they’ll still fuck you over. When a cop talks to you, it’s Shut the Fuck Up Friday

      Cops, no matter where they are are not your friends in our opinion. They exist only to enforce the law, they aren’t there to be helpful or kind, if they were they wouldn’t be cops. They really only exist to catch people out and to lock people away as they are tools of the state no matter where they are.

      The only forms of justice which actually help people improve and not do unethical things any more are restorative and transformative justice. Punitive forms of justice and the people that enforce them do not work and are not there to actually improve things.

      The first A in ACAB stands for “all,” not “American.”
