The right to silence began in England and it's only because of the endless undercutting of rights going on there and the lack of backbone for standing up to this (liberalism is now seemingly a historical footnote for the UK) that it has caveats, the right to silence has still not disappeared entirely. As even the Wikipedia article on it[1] notes: > If this failure occurs at an authorised place of detention (e.g. a police station), no inferences can be drawn from any failure occurring before the accused is allowed an opportunity to consult a legal advisor. The "Don't talk to the police" is not the full point made in that video, it's "Don't talk to the police… until you've spoken to your legal advisor and not without a legal advisor present". So, *don't talk to the police*, they're not your friends and they don't have your best interests at heart and it's their job to get evidence against you, not yours.
