Re: “Couldn’t we bring the whole system to a halt?”

There's actually a faster and lower risk way than demanding a jury trial.....

Keep your mouth shut.

Most of the people in jail either confessed to the police, or told easily checked lies to the police, or bragged to other criminals who testified against them, or talked to “trusted” friends or family who testified against them.

If a criminal has the self-discipline to continuously say, “I have no statement to make at this time,” his chance of staying out of jail instantly goes up to about 90%.

Good Point. Like I always tell my wife and kids: Don't talk to the police, they are NOT your friends.

If a policeman comes to the door and asks if he can ask some questions, say “NO, I do not talk to the police!”

If the police stop or detain you, ask ‘Am I under Arrest?” if they say ‘NO’; say ‘than I assume that I am free to go” If they say “NO’ Tell them ‘Arrest me, or let me go”
if arrested SAYNOTHING AND ASK FOR AN ATTORNEY!

If you DO commit a crime: Do it yourself, don't tell anybody, EVER! and always Deny, deny, deny,

No get me a lawyer.
