Imagine you're visiting a dystopian police state with ubiquitous surveillance and a non-zero chance to be thrown in jail without due process, because you are.
When dealing with the police, be very, very careful what you say to them directly. Be polite, be patient, but be pithy.
And don't be black, make sure to generously apply white face
Doesn't the US have the right to remain silent? Serious question—I thought it did. The advice here is to always stfu when cops try to speak to you, until you either get advice from a lawyer or very specific questions you can answer to expedite your release. If you have the right to remain silent I'd always suggest you exercise that right, and not even make "polite" small talk, just say nothing or "no comment".
