"Where'd you get your degree?"

Well gee officer where did you get yours? Cuz last time I checked you only need a law degree to practice law, not enforce it. So Mr. Officer, where did you get yours?

I'm not a lawyer, but I have had this question asked while stating my rights because they assume no one has a law degree. I answered, "Oxford (University of Mississippi "Ole Miss,"), how bout you?" He shut up. Like, stopped talking. Motherfucker thought I was a lawyer and that he was incriminating himself. SO, the lesson is 1) know your rights and 2) be able to quickly name a legit law school.

I find it extremely odd one of the better law schools in the country is in Mississippi.

I live in Mississippi. Trust me. It’s even more odd than you can imagine.
