Good time to reiterate - Never talk to the police. They are not your friend. Anything you say will be used against you. They will do anything they can get away with to get an admission, or just steal your property because they can.

Don't Talk to The Police (lecture featuring a lawyer and a retired cop detailing why it will never help to talk).

That's outdated advice.

It doesn't matter if you don't talk, because the police will join your social media and chat groups and keep asking their questions for years until they get the answers they like.

The difference is that we are living in an extremely invasive surveillance state.

Do you have an article about that?

Unless they get access to your unlocked phone (in which case you already fucked up the "don't talk to the police" part) how would they get invites or know who to talk to?

Real police work isn't like the movies.

Unless you've murdered the Governor's daughter, police will not follow you around on social media for years trying to catch you slip.
