CNN webpage with a photo and text saying “We have a photo showing the suspect’s unmasked face. How has no one recognized him and come forward to police?”

    Sure, but that’s why my first call is a lawyer. Establish an iron-clad alibi, and point out that I don’t have United Health Insurance or any medical debt, bring in my doctor who says my arthritis would prevent me from riding a bike that far, package all that up into a single irrefutable tweet and then go have a primetime interview with a cable news reporter. You can’t trust the cops, but if you make it known that you are in the photo and you didn’t do it, they will hopefully leave you alone.

      Never talk to the police even to give evidence that proves your innocence, never ever ever talk to them get a lawyer the justice system is slow and on your side the police can NEVER HELP YOU

      Edit: the police are part of executive branch they enforce the law, there’s a difference between all the branches. Police have to prove their case to the judicial, but as they clarified in our basic Miranda rights from that cops tv show back in the day ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU

      Don’t say anything lol why would you?

      To be clear this is more difficult to realize in the moment you are being questioned. Just sing an old Martin Luther king song to yourself if you know you are innocent.
