And you WAIVE it every time you open it
Not if you open your mouth to ask the cop a legal question. The only time you waive your right to refuse to answer the cops' questions is when you're answering the cops' questions. You waive nothing by putting the cop on record concerning the nature of the interaction. Nothing at all from a legal perspective. One could counter that it does no good to put them on the record, but it is not accurate to assert that one's rights are voluntarily waived when they do so.

Again, in the video you posted Dr. Duane asserts without qualification that you WAIVE your right to remain silent as soon as you open your mouth.
Can we agree the stupid beotch is an idiot and cops screw shyt up all the time?
Can we agree
Nope.

I don't answer trick questions, nor do I answer questioners who I already know ask trick questions.
Had homegirls done that odds are she would have been cited and released
And there was absolutely no reason why she could not have been cited and released anyway. If we admit the subject stopped was wrong in the way she acted, that does not excuse the cops from not just doing their job, writing a ticket and being done with it.
Yeah, how did that work out for her?
You don't have to answer the question just keep your head out of the orifice she put her's in.
"Do you know why I stopped you tonight?"
"I'd rather not answer any questions officer."
Then don't say another word except (if necessary) to explicitly state "I wish to exercise my right to remain silent"
If you have to say that Do. Not. Say. Another. Word.
Had homegirls done that odds are she would have been cited and released
But wait..... You've argued in several posts now that opening her mouth at all put her the legal status of having WAIVED her rights. Now your only bone of contention is whether to inform verbally or silently that you don't want to answer questions.
All you're doing is moving the goal posts all around the field. What you suggest above is a perfectly good option under a couple or three schools of thought on how best to protect your rights during interactions with cops. I am not arguing against the prudence of that advice anymore than I was about the prudence of never saying anything to cops.
Do you ever just kick back, relax, and have a non-confrontational conversation? If you say "Yes," it would be difficult to prove by just reviewing your posting history here.

Yep, no Pullitzer prizes in the offing for bootboy, that's for sure.Personally I don't think you could pull it off you'd be too interested in showing the cops that you were the smartest guy in the room
