I'm not a lawyer so don't trust my take on what's safe to say to the cops. I feel like I saw a recent exception to this, but even if I didn't: 1998 is pre-9/1

I'm not a lawyer so don't trust my take on what's safe to say to the cops. I feel like I saw a recent exception to this, but even if I didn't: 1998 is pre-9/11, pre-TSA, pre- the large riots of the 2000s and 2010s like ferguson and occupy. It's pre-snowden, pre-aaron swartz. It's pre-iphone which means its pre every case about recording cops in public. It's pre stop and frisk. Criminal justice has changed a lot since 1998.
