Unfortunately, you have to lie to the police in order to go on with your life.

The system is structured in a way that it is impossible to have clear communication, open and honest communication, with a law enforcement officer without completely fucking yourself. This strikes me very badly. I always want to be honest and open and tell the truth. But unfortunately life has taught me that I have to lie to law enforcement in order to protect myself from their whimsical, torturous systems.
