Is
that against the law, in Florida?? I dunno.
That is
HORRIBLE legislation, wherever it does exist (e.g., qua federal officers).
It means that the citizens cannot safely speak to their police.
When people converse, no matter
WHO thay r,
inevitably, things that fall from their mouths will be, in some degree,
inconsistent with the actual facts. 'Twas ever thus
; it cannot change.
I remember a big, clumsy stupid one that came from obama,
fully in front of the news cameras, when he said (
referring to obamacare)
that the USSC had
never voided a Congressional statute
that had been passed by a wide majority of Congress
and that the USSC woud not do so now, to his baby: obamacare.
Obviously, the USSC has done that many times, contrary to what he said,
but in reference to the statute that he was discussing (obamacare),
he falsely implied that his law was passed
by wide majorities,
when in fact it almost was defeated. (Did it pass by
1 vote?? very little, anyway.)
My point is that lying is spontaneous; this guy allegedly taught at Harvard Law School,
but yet he came out with that
nonsense.
People who speak to police
INEVITABLY will say things that r not true,
unless
maybe the conversation is very, very, very
short.
If it is against the law to lie to the police,
then the only safe way to avoid criminal liability is to shun the police.
In these comments set forth hereinabove,
I do
not address statements to police in regard to
your own involvement
in any illegal activity, which shud always be reflexively avoided,
and your lawyer summoned, if police seek to question u.
