Still bullshit you have to probably pay court and lawyer fees and waste however much time it takes to be detained and in and out of court.

If you’re poor you’re fucked either way. “oh after many stressful months they said I am innocent! As a prize, I owe anywhere from several hundred to several thousands of dollars to the state and/or my lawyer, just because this one jacakss cop was in a bad mood one day and didn’t like my face, or the car I drove, or the way I wore my clothes, etc.”

Miranda rights only apply if the police are asking you incriminating questions

I argue that all questions asked by police are potentially incriminating.

They can ask you where you’re going and some general questions about what’s in your possession currently.

They can ask but I’m not answering. “I don’t answer questions. Am I free to go?”

Even before I learned not to talk to them, I’d answer them with non answers.

Cop: “where are you going?” 17 year old me: pointing forward “that way.” Cop: “OK… where are you coming from?” Me: pointing behind myself “That way.”

yeah I got pulled like this too. midnight, empty stretch of 2 lane country road, and some jackass cop tailgating me with his brights on for several miles while I made attempts to let him pass (didn’t know he was a cop yet). He pulled me and claimed I was driving erratically.

lmao first time meeting a cop?

sorry that happened to you and good luck. hire a lawyer and do not talk to the police. not one word, unless your lawyer tells you to say it.
