Remaining Silent

I hereby publically assert my right to remain silent based on the Fifth Amendment regardless of any interpretation to the contrary. I have been advised to never speak to law enforcement without talking to an attorney first. I reserve the right to say certain things to law enforcement such as but not limited to “I choose to remain silent” or "can I go now" without abrogating the assertion of any rights made herein. Why do I make this public assertion of rights, and why should everyone do so? Here is a typical Miranda warning: “You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you?” Notice that this version of the warning says anything you say “will” be used against you. In our police state, it is clear that anything any person says to law enforcement (including a denial, or in light of the recent court decision, remaining silent) will be twisted and/or taken out of context in order to convict an innocent person of some crime or another of which he or she is innocent. In classic form, law enforcement will try to smear you in the news by saying that you are non-cooperative. When you hear in the news that the police said someone is non-cooperative, you should think to yourselves how wise that person is. Let us applaud such wise people.
