Indeed, I’m reminded of the Attorney who runs “Flex Your Rights” who once saw officers write someone a ticket and waited until after the police were done so he could talk to the person about their rights.

His encounter with those same officers a few minutes later was caught on body cam: https://youtu.be/28w6xvRj9EM

This is a guy who is arguably as “privileged” as it gets for someone pulled over by the police: highly educated white guy attorney who hadn’t done anything wrong. And he was charged with two (very minor) crimes.

It’s easy to give the advice to exercise your rights but it’s difficult in practice when the retaliation by those in authority is so clear.
