I Am Detained By The Feds For Not Answering Questions

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.
