  • That’s not entirely the proper response.

    I hate that I’ve already posted the video twice so I’m not going to do it again because I don’t want to get marked for spam lol, but check my comment history if you got a minute to see a few lawyers describe what to do.

    In essence though, if it’s a door knock don’t even answer it. There’s nothing good on the other side of that door, and in that scenario there are only two options for them: either they can get a warrant, in which case they’re coming in anyway with or without your consent so it doesn’t even matter, or if they don’t have one (far more likely) then they can go pound sand for all I care. If I’m not legally obligated to answer that door then I’m not going to.

    If it’s a traffic stop, it’s a simple amount of phrasing but amounts that are very important to say to exercise your rights. If being asked questions unrelated to the quoted traffic violation, a simple “I’m not discussing my day”. If they continue asking questions, ask “Am I being detained or am I free to go”. This forces them to either only engage in the stop as needed or, if they do detain, at this point the mystery is now gone and they have to handle things by the book: meaning you are informed that you are being detained, it is for xyz reason of belief, then at this point you can state that you “invoke the fifth” (must be said, but you have the right to not answer questions and not self-incriminate), and then you STFU. If said detainment was ever escalated from there to the point of being thrown in the back of the squad car, it’s at this point that you could then request an attorney at the station and IIRC they must provide one. It will likely be an overworked public defendant attorney, but to answer the question there you go.

    TLDR Don’t be the soverign citizen immediately starting with “I want a lawyer am I detained am I free to go” as soon as they walk up to the window, but know your rights and when to execute them in order. These rights apply to all people in America by the way, not just citizens, so keep that in mind and don’t let feds try to scare you into thinking you don’t have these kinds of rights. You do.

    (I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice from a lawyer, just a local dumbass on the internet, but this is to my knowledge factual information.)





  • GreenManGaming is a legitimate reseller, in a similar fashion to humble bundle or similar sellers.

    I also do not like them because their keys if you are buying on sale for a new launch, their keys are usually UK based as they are UK based and they will not let you play on sooner launch dates, as I learned with Mirrors Edge Catalyst’s release when I wanted to play on day 1 and should have bought direct through origin, but instead now I had to wait a week, and they did not offer a refund policy.

    So instead I bought the game again on origin and gave away the other key as a free giveaway to spite them 😂






  • We did do that once as bored teenagers on an off day back in maybe 2006. Though the pizza shop let us know it was going to take about two hours, which we were totally cool with, and tipped the driver like 20 bucks (on top of a $15 order) because we knew it was probably hell getting there.

    Sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta do, I get that. But if you’re gonna be doing that, please tip your drivers very generously and give them plenty of time and don’t be an asshole to them :)
