Yes. It’s exactly as described. Simply not answering, without explicitly claiming that right, is considered confrontational, and not an exercise of that right. You must explicitly exercise the right to remain silent.
In the briefest way, or for someone with limited English language skills, “Lawyer” should be enough, when accompanied by refusal to answer questions.
Absolutely. Your local laws and conditions may vary. I left US as the assumed context since I was also talking about Miranda, which is a US thing. (Other countries may have a similar process, but Miranda is specific to the US.)
They only have to read it if they’re going to question you as part of an investigation, and then only if they consider you a suspect or person of interest.
They don’t have to read Miranda to witnesses, and any “spontaneous utterances” you make are evidence.
It’s shut the fuck up Friday. There are five things you should ever say to police:
Is that a request or an order? I don’t answer questions. I don’t consent to any search. Am I free to go? I am exercising my right to remain silent.
If the officer gives you an order to do something, do it. Even if you don’t feel it’s a lawful order. The time for you to fight back is in court, not by yourself against someone with authority, a fragile ego, and a gun.

What they have is organization. What we have is numbers.
Seriously, I did not come here to read about avocados.

You know what they call alternative medicine that actually works? Medicine.

Two things:
The US isn’t the only place in the world - even the western world - that’s dealing with the rise of fascism (even if the US is presently leading that race).
The US is eager to export it’s current brand of fascism.
If you think this is a US-only problem, you’re gonna have a bad time.
If you are reading this, start carrying.
No need to waste a better boat.
Strike that. Reverse it.
Oh yeah that would work. Sail out, set him in a dinghy, sail away while ICC picks him up.
Yes, I’m pretty sure that the deal with the Un being in NYC means exactly that.
I can see where this might not be a legal possibility. While it may be legal for NYPD to arrest a foreign national based on an ICC warrant, it would arguably be the United States - not New York City - that is authorized to hand such a prisoner over to ICC, because that is an international matter.
Or, since the warrant is from outside the US, the feds might even need to be involved in the arrest.
And Musk has done such wonderful things with that, right?
The world has a propaganda problem. Fediverse is in the world.
I know I always have my kerosene lantern lit in the middle of the day.
