Why would I try to be helpful to a T.B.G.(Thug with Badge and Gun)?I was never advised of my right to be silent, I have a right (and an obligation in this instance) to NOT be silent, I wasn't under arrest, I never "Threaterned "him in the 1st place, if you think that telling him I would "embarass him in court" is a threat you really are uneducated in what constitutes a "threat" and shouldn't engage in conversations asserting your rights with law enforcement types as you will wind up with your silly ass in jail.Oh, and by the way, I've never been in an altercation with law enforcement that has resulted in me being arrested as a result of that talk. You talk to someone like that respectfully? That's your right, don't infringe mine by suggesting it is an illegal activity (you know, like actually threatening cops?) Bob R
