Do you really mean never?
I've run into a lot of people who have heard that advice and take it very literally, to the point that when I've asked them what they would do if an officer responding to an explosion and fire at their workplace asked the people who got out if they knew of anyone still in the building said that they would not answer without getting a lawyer first.
- basilgohar 2y agoIt sounds absurd, but people have been arrested or even killed for less cooperation than this. Blame the system, not the people who are trying to avoid being destroyed by the system. Law enforcement has become more and more hostile towards citizens with time, not less. Wariness is the only way to navigate it, unfortunately.

- henryfjordan 2y agoEmergency situations where you are trying to coordinate is maybe the only time I would talk to a cop, and if you can talk to a fire fighter or EMT instead I would do that. In the case of the fire I wouldn't say anything except "Little Timmy is still inside, on the second floor". Do not discuss how the fire started or anything like that.
