> "No sir."
> They opened up two doors and found my roommates sleeping. "Who is this?"
> "Oh, those are my roommates." I didn't realize it was 8 am. I was up late the night before, and I figured it was ten or eleven already, and that they had left for work.
That's making false statements, a felony punishable by up to five years in federal prison.

..and that's why you never, ever, speak to a police officer. If a police officer wants to talk to you, they are probably conducting a criminal investigation. Do yourself a favor and exercise your right to remain silent.

It is a felony to knowingly give false statements, meaning to lie.

#6I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. The artist seems pretentious, but self-aware. Annoying, but a great storyteller. The art and philosophical conclusions involved are dated and cliché but thought provoking at the same time. It's irritating, exciting, and comforting all at once. I don't know what to make of it but I'm glad that people like the author exist.

But then you have a case where the officer will try and use what you said against you. So, even if it wasn’t knowingly in truth, in practice it will be up to you to defend that truth. Whereas silence saves you the hassle.

It's worth highlighting that it doesn't seem as though this caused any issue whatsoever for the author.
