Paul Karl Lukacs arrived at immigration while returning to the U.S. and refused to answer the question “Why were you in China?” (in addition to others). It’s a simple reminder that law-abiding citizens shouldn’t have to be afraid when talking to law enforcement. This line resonated a lot
This Is About Power, Not Security. The [Customs and Border Protection] goons want U.S. citizens to answer their questions as a ritualistic bow to their power. Well, CBP has no power over me. I am a law-abiding citizen, and, as such, I am the master, and the federal cops are my servants. They would do well to remember that.
Now I’m reminded about a video I saw that instructed you to never volunteer information to a police officer in an effort to avoid prosecution (wrongful or otherwise). I found something similar, but it’s not what I remember (and it’s really long and boring).

Pretty sure this is the "don't talk to police" video you're thinking of.
