@housepanther@goblackcat.social 100%. I've been advising not talking to cops for decades. Most folks will incriminate themselves by accident. Unless you have a ton of lived experiences dealing with cops - it's best to shut up & not talk to any of them. I was targeted, along with a few other very vocal & visible activists. RCMP CIRG were hunting for me for months. They were aiming at taking out people like me, with longtime experiences & able to keep the people inspired to fight against colonial capitalist armed peons. They see people like me, as a threat to their paycheques. Fucking greedy fucks.

@PhoenixSerenity@beige.party Yes, police are looking to brand protestors and activists as domestic terrorists or agitators. This is why one exercises their right to remain silent. I am assuming, like the United States, that silence does not imply guilt under the law. Silence, according to both the constitution and case law precedent, does not imply guilt. One is (or should be) presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
