"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken

So now it'll be " Lisence, registration, and look this way please." If you resemble a wanted felon you're sure to be taken to the station while things are sorted out. Have your attorney on speed dial.

Forget speed dial; memorize your attorney's phone number, because if there's one thing the cops fear more than people with guns, it's people with cell phones.
"...memorize your attorney's phone number..." ~ rita
Memorize this, rita, "your attorney", whether (s)he is appointed by the court or paid for by you, is, first and foremost, an officer of the court.

Very good, Sam. Did you hear that agent, "...we are allowed to lie in interviews"? The rule is, if their lips are moving they are lying.
So, other than identifying who you are, keep your mouth shut...unless of course you are like the Articulant Motorist.
Of course at the end it sounded as if he got to enjoy a ride in one of those police elevators I became very familiar with before I quit drinking 30+ years ago. Sam
Yup, the ones with no video or audio equipment on board.
Actually, the first person I always called was my dad -- where I was they don't even let you look at a phone book. My point was that speed dial doesn't do you any good in jail; the longer they can hold you without anyone knowing where you are, the more damage they can do. And doing damage is what they do best.
