One of the most important things I learned in my Language and the Law class is that law enforcement will intentionally misinterpret every type of statement asking for a lawyer as not asking for a lawyer. Even directly saying it like this “I will not speak to you without a lawyer” can be taken as a simple statement of fact rather than a request for a lawyer. You literally have to state “I am now invoking my right to a lawyer” and every time they try to proceed with an interrogation you have to answer every question with “I am invoking my right to have a lawyer present”. You can’t just tell them you won’t talk without a lawyer or that you want a lawyer. You have to state that you are invoking your rights. Otherwise they could just say “well they just said they wouldn’t speak without a lawyer present. That’s not invoking their rights to a lawyer. It’s just stating a fact.” even just stating your right to a lawyer doesn’t count!
PLEASE share this addition. I am a lawyer who works in criminal defense, and this is one of the most avoidable things that people consistently get wrong about the Miranda rights.
Here are some more “ambiguous” phrases which courts have found DO NOT invoke your right to a lawyer:
“Maybe I should speak to my lawyer first.”
“I might like a lawyer.”
“I think I should have a lawyer present for this.”
“Could I speak to my lawyer first?”
“How long until my lawyer gets here?”
And perhaps most egregiously – “Get me a lawyer, dawg – ‘cause this is not what’s up.”
Here are the magic phrases which you need to know if you want to invoke your Miranda rights:
1) “Am I free to leave?”
It’s worth asking this even if the answer is obvious. Even if the officer does not let you leave, by forcing them to admit that you are not free to leave, you are creating a record which your attorney can use to prove that you were in custody. Miranda rights only apply if the interrogation is custodial, meaning that police officers will frequently claim that their suspects were “not in custody” to get around their Miranda rights.
2) “I am invoking my right to remain silent.”
Simply staying silent will not invoke your right to remain silent. As absurd as this is, you must explicitly say that you are invoking your right to remain silent in order to invoke that right.
3) “I am invoking my right to an attorney.”
As stated above, you must be not only clear and unambiguous, but clear and legally unambiguous. Don’t get cute. Don’t get sassy. And on the flip side, don’t get intimidated and use verbal ticks to minimize your request. Say the line with those words exactly – say it clearly, and say it once, and then say nothing else.
Because even after you’ve done all this, the police can still try to get you to talk. They’re not supposed to interrogate you, but they’re allowed to make casual conversation, and if that conversation just happens to circle back around to the thing they wanted to question you about, well, that’s really your fault for talking after you said you wouldn’t, isn’t it? Can’t possibly fault the poor officers when you initiated – if you really wanted to have your rights respected, you wouldn’t have talked to them in the first place.
The police know this, and they will mercilessly exploit this loophole. So, once you’ve successfully invoked your Miranda rights, any and all conversation you have with police officers will put those rights back into jeopardy. 
Putting it all together:
Ask: “Am I free to leave?”
If they say no, say: “I am invoking my right to remain silent and I am invoking my right to an attorney.”
And then shut up and do not say a single thing to them for any reason whatsoever until you have actually spoken to an attorney. Yes, even if it takes hours. Yes, even if they start talking to you about something else.
Finally, a very important disclaimer:
I may be a lawyer, but I’m not your lawyer, and I cannot guarantee that what I’ve just laid out here will always work for every situation. We didn’t get to this bizarre and absurd place overnight – we built this ridiculous system piecemeal, by deciding on a case-by-case basis that certain phrases were “too ambiguous” or certain types of questioning weren’t actually questioning at all. The law is still in flux, and is still fundamentally out to get you, and willing to bend plain meaning beyond all recognition to do it. Even if you invoke your rights perfectly, exactly as I have specified above, there’s a chance that your invocation of rights will be disqualified on some new technicality that no one’s even thought of yet – and that’s precisely the problem.


Watch this video: “Don’t Talk To The Police”


And do this even if you have actually done something wrong and want to take responsibility for it.  Rights aren’t just for wrongly accused people and you cannot count on the police to do the right thing because you’re trying to do the right thing.  You may end up charged with far more or worse than what you actually did.  Even if, in the best possible scenario, you deal only with honest officers who bear you no malice, they could make honest mistakes that put you in a worse position, and you may not notice because you’re not familiar with all the rules they’re supposed to follow.  Your lawyer should know all about that and can speak up for you if procedures are not followed properly.  Good luck!

    bubblegum-pwussay:

    Its dehumanizing and meant to keep us silent on our issues and I will not have it. I always tell them I am not a strong black woman Im human I hurt just like everyone else. This is one of the main reasons our pain is ignored in the medical community because they truly believe we can take anything

    afronerdism:

    There’s nothing worse than trying to talk to people about your problems only to be told “well you are a strong black woman you got this” and I’ve been told that so many times by different people in my life.

    bubblegum-pwussay:

    I really hate the strong black woman stereotype because it allows people to abuse black woman and never gives us time off when we have health issues or mental health problems

    butchniqabi:

    i would like to emphasize this is a real interaction that went down while i was talking with a group of lesbians i know. other woc before me said similar things about not being ashamed of body hair or body shape or their skin. like white women, even the gay white women who can parrot feminist theory and frequently post “support poc!” on social media, really just view themselves as being the Default Woman and everyone is like…Slightly Edited Woman. like woc saying that they want to embrace their natural features and not conform to a eurocentric beauty standard should Not be met with the belief we are embracing ugliness. YOU decided we were ugly, we didnt decide that shit and we dont claim that!

    butchniqabi:

    me: i am embracing my natural, makeup-less face and unaltered features

    some white girl i definitely havent spoken to in literally 3 years: yaaaas i love that embrace ugliness baby!

    fandomshatepeopleofcolor :

    Its that time of year again we’re looking for mods! This time its a little different so please pay close attention. First, a little history lesson. I, mod mal (mod m) created @fandomshatewomen back in September 2013 and @fandomshatepeopleofcolor (back then known as fandomshatepoc) on May 31st, 2014. The rest of the other blogs @mcufandomhatespeopleofcolor , @starwarsfandomh8speopleofcolor, @dceufandomhatespeopleofcolor and @startrekfandomh8speopleofcolor came later. Now, why do I explain this? Simple, this is an all call for all these blogs. But why do an all call? We’ve noticed that people are getting tired of just talking about fandom racism and would like to do more positivity events. Getting more mods would hopefully lead to more events at the smaller blogs :D The only requirements are: Must be over 18 Can’t be white if applying to one of ‘-peopleofcolor’ blogs Must have a working knowledge of intersectional feminism for any of the blogs. The application procedure outlined below will apply to all the blogs listed. Apps will be taken in for around a month. We’ll take another month to review all of them and reach a decision. 

    • Pick the blog you want to apply to and open a submission (can’t be anonymous!) or fanmail if you want to be part of multiple blogs just include that after your name. However, only send your application to one (1) blog! 
    • Name and pronouns, age (must be over 18) 
    • Race and ethnicity (Please be aware you still need to provide this if you’re applying to fandomshatewomen, and if you’re white you will be expected to queue posts about racialized misogyny/misogynoir and understand and be comfortable with the concept of womanism.)      
    • Religion, if you’re comfortable sharing (relevant to future questions sent to the blogs related to Islamophobia, antisemitism, sikhism, or for questions about Jewish or Muslim actors or characters) 
    • A  paragraph written by you about fandom racism (for FHW, feminism as it pertains to fandom) OR a tag on your blog with your writing on fandom racism (for FHW a tag of your posts pertaining to feminism). It can be about how white fans treat a character of color, an actor of color, fans of color, or anything that you deem relevant! The format should be yourblog.tumblr.com/tagged/yourtaghere (If you’re applying to fhw I’m expecting the same from you, if that’s not possible then try queerphobia, ableism, whorephobia, transphobia, and/or transmisogyny in fandom). Special interests that you’d like to focus on (examples are musicals, gaming, YA novels, anime, kpop, etc) 
    • Last step, VERY IMPORTANT! Send a separate ask also off anon so that we can ask you questions about your application or to invite you to the blog. 
    • Thank you for reading! Please consider applying and signal boosting!

    Nicole Fay Davis: Set up by a woman who pretended to be apart of a women’s religious group who invited her to Bible Study, almost kidnapped & sex trafficked in Chicago 

    Me and my friend had a similar experience, we were in target shopping when we were approached by these nice 2 black women asking if we wanted to come to their bible study. I declined, but my they took my friends number down. I told my friend she better not go to there bible study, just because I’m so paranoid about everything. So about 2 days go by, and they actively start to text my friend. When she didn’t reply, the texts got more aggressive. Like why would someone who you just met, wanna try so hard to get you to go somewhere? This was in Florida btw, so ladies just always be cautious.

    This Muslim Author Tackles Sexual Abuse Through Education

    rapeculturerealities :

    Shariea Shoatz is a survivor of child sexual abuse and has dedicated her life to advocating and educating the masses on child abuse. Travelling around the States, she presents workshops to parents and caregivers on pinpointing the signs of abuse and supporting and protecting children. Shariea Shoatz is the author of a book titled “My Voice Is My Super Power”; a book that teaches children to recognize and use the autonomy they have over their bodies and encourages them to use their voices if they find themselves in situations in which they feel uncomfortable or threatened.

    The book discusses the “Body Safety Rules,” a method that fosters the encouragement of body awareness in children. Shoatz felt that in order to prevent child sexual assault, adults needed to understand the importance of protecting children. When discussing what prompted her to write her book, Shoatz said, “Parents and caregivers have a responsibility to keep children safe from being sexually abused. Many want to but are uncertain how. Teaching body safety through a book is one tool used to help educate, empower, and reduce children’s vulnerability to sexual abuse predators.”

    Shariea Shoatz is no stranger to the self-blame that often torments victims of sexual abuse when their experiences are not believed. “My Voice Is My Super Power” is a way of ensuring that adults support children when they voice any abuse they may have been subjected to. The book is written in a way that is child-friendly, making it one that can be integrated within a number of educational settings, including Islamic schools.

    We should start posting more banned history about the US. I know most people are unaware of the facts that aren’t taught and banned from the education system. All minority groups have had their fair share of oppression by the US and everyone should know.

    Could someone please provide captions

    I did my best! Corrections are appreciated if I made any errors.

    -Caption start-

    (The main speaker starts to speak):

    Alo!* My name is Tiare Kolo.

    I’m back in 1893. The Hawaiian monarchy was illegally overthrown by the United States of America.

    Oh! But wait, they did not come empty handed.

    (Second person shows up in the background to say) :

    Wait what?

    (Main speaker resumes speaking after second speaker leaves):

    With them they brought STI’s, multiple diseases, foreign plants and animals, locked our queen up in her own room, forced her to sign a treaty, and stole all of our land.

    A hundred and twenty years later, the leases have expired to those land claims. Whose to say the native Hawaiian people aren’t finally going to get their land back? Whose to say the foreigners are going to keep it for themselves? And whose to say that Governor Ige isn’t money laundering five million dollars to help build the thirty meter telescope on Mauna Kea, which is a sacred mountain to the Hawaiian people, and the purest water source on the big island. But that’s a secret he’ll never tell.

    Stayed tuned on episode two of Hawaiian Desecration.

    -caption end-

    *It sounds like “allo” to me. I originally put hello because some accents say hello like that (I had a disclaimer here because I wasn’t sure). I was confused if it was hello or aloha because I didn’t know some people abbreviated aloha, but I knew some accents say “allo” instead of hello. Someone from Hawaii DM’d me and said that “Alo” is a cute abbreviated way to say Aloha! Thanks so much to the kind person who DM’d me!

    I also want to note that the full name of the Governor of Hawaii is David Yukata Ige.

    Question: Hey, quick question: lately I’ve been getting A LOT of requests to signal boost posts where someone is asking for financial help. Ordinarily I would do it without thinking about it, but once I got scammed by someone, and now that I kinda sorta have lots of followers, I feel a responsibility to them to not signal boost a scam? I feel bad for even thinking that someone is “scamming” but I don’t wanna unknowingly help set anyone up. How do YOU decide when to signal boost such requests? (1/2)
    Answer:

    Am I overthinking this? I apologize for bugging you with MY problems, but I respect both of your blogs and I would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice you have. (2/2)

    Nah you’re not overthinking it. It’s very easy to send out something that shouldnt be sent out. We’ve reblogged a couple of suspicious campaigns and outright scams before. I try to verify before reblogging or posting usually by going to the link and reading about it. If there’s no go fund me link, I don’t really have anything to go by other than hope.

    If anyone has a better system of making sure you’re not sending out a questionable ask for donations to people feel free to discuss.
