A lot of great info, but "If you choose to answer questions, be sure to tell the truth” is a mistake. Remember, anything you say “can and will be used against you.” Key word, against. Nothing you tell them will be used to help you. Remain silent.
Make sure you speak clearly with minimal slang, or they might willfully misinterpret what you’re saying to deny your rights. Like to think you want a lawyer dog.
It’s correct. If you choose to answer questions, you should tell the truth. That should be preceded, in bold, “don’t fucking answer questions! If the police talk to you, shut the fuck up.”

Nailed it. Am I being detained? Name and badge number? Am I free to go? This are the only questions to ask.
The only statement you give is one word after they say you’re not free to go: lawyer.
Call for a lawyer and don’t say another word.
Here’s a reminder of how to interact with police.
