Basically a law professor expanding on the Miranda Warning and explaining how easy it is to potentially incriminate yourself by ever talking to the police. IIRC he said there are over 10,000 items on the books in federal law which are punishable, and how even making the most simple of statements can be connected to one of those items.
It's a point a lot of people forget when talking to the police. If the police approach you to interview about anything, either zip it or ask for a written contract of immunity. Totally within your rights to do so. The Miranda Warning only has to be issued when you're in police custody.
Well-worth the watch.

I would expect as much from a lawyer. Let's just say that I'm trying to talk to the guy that just saw a guy rape your mother. Hope that works for you.
I'm not trying to speak for Hat on this but I think the vid was more concerned with if you are being questioned about YOU. If I'm privvy to something I think the cops should know I'll seek them out. If I'm being asked anything about me or mine my answer would be about the same as Hat's.
