This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

FYI, you need to say "I'm invoking my right to remain silent" or similar before going quiet. Just shutting your mouth and refusing to say absolutely anything will make it worse.

This is not entirely accurate.

If you clam up pre-Miranda warning, it can be used against you (if you didn’t specifically exercise your rights).

Case law about this: https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/570/178/

Post-Miranda warning, there’s no issue. The warning literally advises you of your right to be silent.

It seems that you can't invoke your rights pre-Miranda and before arrest, as seen in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salinas_v._Texas

I don't know how that works specifically, but I expect nobody will allow you ~~more~~ your rights whenever they can
