re; ignoring jury summons; sometimes they do send a cop around to question you about your summons. people admit receiving it to the cop.
i dont know if cops routinely mirandize people before questioning. i doubt it. people confess.
you dont have to talk to the police. indeed, you almost never should. and one of the most important lessons to teach your children is to never ever ever ever ever EVER assume a policeman is your friend or trying to help you. if there is remotely any chance the target of investigation might be you…SHUT UP. i think it’s most important to tell children this, much more improtant for life and liberty than telling them that pot will ruin their life.
