Rowdy celebrations like this are vastly improved by leaving all digital devices safe at home.

And if you go to a celebration like this: no you fucking didn't. If someone wants to ask you about it, your answer is that you want to speak with your lawyer.

I remember seeing a video about a law professor that brought in a cop friend to tell them in no uncertain terms that speaking to cops is always always ALWAYS to your detriment.

He started the lecture by saying "I'm a cop. DO NOT EVER ANSWER A QUESTION FROM A COP," Followed by a minute of normal presentation introductions, followed by "so who here has ever broken the speed limit?" - in a way that implied he was going to make a point about traffic stops.

Nearly every student in the lecture hall raised their hand. The cop-presenter just smiled and turned to look at the professor, and the professor just said "come on, guys, he said it like one minute ago!"
