guess the thread didn't die, but I think it's got some useful information. the guys who posted above about not saying zilch are 120% correct. le doesn't care what you have to say, and what plausible explanations you have. they have a mindset; a perception and an assumtion.
what you say and how you behave, no matter how non-chalant you act with reasonable explanations and all, will have no bearing on the le's perception of what is going on. in fact, each action, each anwser and each reaction is twisted inside their thought process and reasoning, and they twist it to mean what THEY want it to mean...as in, whatever benefits and furthers their personal beliefs and assumptions about you/your situation. ego is a big part of this as well, don't forget. tell a member of law enforcement he's wrong? try to outsmart or outwit a member of law enforcement? wheter you succeed or not, he'll still twist the facts inside his mind to meet his needs.
shiot, you'd have a better chance of beating Forest Gump in ping pong.
sorry, not ranting, just thrown down some psychology on da fuzz...goes both ways if you play ball
