I can speak from direct experience here.
You do not argue law with police in the United States. Period. Any example of it working out is overshadowed by hundreds of deaths. Even giving off the impression you’re some kind of sovereign citizen is a good way to get killed.
You quite literally — and this is triple true if you’re a POC — must submit to them and pay a lawyer to interact with the Corrections Department and the courts. Doing anything other than this, e.g., resisting arrest, arguing law, is a surefire way to get hurt or killed.
The police in the United States are not there to help, you should never talk to them. This includes arguing law.
One time while streaming I had someone convince me to install zsh. Almost bricked the thing live. No clue what I was doing that day.
