1000% agree. I was out having fun one night with some friends in my younger years. We left a bar together and split up. As I and one of the guys I was with entered a parking structured, my other friends drove up to us in a convertible car. They were laughing at me because my fly was down so I pulled it up in a funny gesture as I approached them.
At that point, two cops pulled in behind me and thought I was passing drugs. They looked around on the ground and patted me down and when they found nothing, they trump up some charges and said I indecently exposed myself. When the case went to court, the cops were caught lying. They tried to tell the judge I flashed some girls in a convertible but video showed they lied through their teeth.
So I have my own personal story but don't listen to me, hear what this professor and an ex-cop have to say about talking to the police.
