Excellent video on the 5th amendment, and how easy it is to get yourself in
trouble. I'd like to try this next time I get pulled over for some nebulous
traffic offense. Sit there in total silence. Or maybe tell the cop "I'm
bored with dinner ideas. What are you having tonight?"

Good video. One thing not mentioned was "Res gestae", something spoken
/ blurted out before the officer even asked the first question.

"I didn't mean to shoot him!" "Officer I didn't see the kid, I feel
so bad."

All spoken before Miranda warnings.

"Res gestae (Latin "things done") is a term found in substantive and
procedural American jurisprudence and English law."

Me, I STFU.
