How to be a better criminal, well at least better than the people in my crim pro book

Funny comments - and no real legal advice on criminal cases from my Criminal Procedure Casebook:

On a Friday in New York you can get away with a lot of stuff.

The dummie should have stayed in NJ, the police told him to call to find out what they decided to do with his bag, which he knew was full of dope.  Even Stevie Wonder can see that it is not wise to do that.

FYI -
every person is presumed to know their rights, and know how to exercise their rights.  Now, in  reality that is not the case.  So if you think you have to respond the officer then that is on you - and it is voluntary unless there is coercion physical or psychological in nature.

if you steal from the drug dealer you want to give it to the police, because if no the drug dealer will find you and you wont steal anymore.

you just use a credit card or a screwdriver to pop the lock.

when you leave your roommate will go through your stuff.  Get rid of your roommate or lock you door.

Your baby-sitter needs to say I am just the baby-sitter I don't live here I cannot give consent for you to search the house.

even though they are checking to make sure the roads are safe by only having drivers with a license drive.  In the real world we know that some of the worst drivers have their license

you can do that in Vegas but not in this state
