The change could lead to fewer stops, purportedly for minor traffic violations, with the actual intent of searching the driver’s car for contraband such as drugs or guns.
The article I linked brings up the Salinas v. Texas case. My “For some reason” was more of a sarcastic nod to me thinking that ruling is wrong, that most rights don’t need to be invoked, the main reason counsel needs to be invoked is because you usually need someone else to do something (e.g. give you a phone to call your lawyer), but that doesn’t apply to being silent.
“I’m exercising my rights” is clearly stating a boundary, one which has basis in both state, federal, and repeated case law. You’re not a sov-cit inventing personhood or contract from whole cloth, it’s a very normal right that’s baked into our government
Accountability and boundaries are often perceived as hostile by narcissists and those who don’t respect other people’s agency. Interesting how you read that as hostile and doubled down.
Exercising your rights is perhaps not hostile and confrontational.
Stating “I’m exercising my rights” is.
For some reason, your right to silence doesn’t count unless you say you’re invoking your right to silence.
This is why.

One, it’s not. Two, where did anyone say to state that?

You have to be extremely explicit with what you are saying or the system will misconstrued it. it is in your best interest to be clear with what you do and do not concent to. If the office has the right to do it, they will do it regardless of your concent.
