A boylover may have occasion to come into contact with the police, or other law enforcement officer.


  • Police lie and they do so routinely. They are taught to. A policeman does not have to answer your questions truthfully.
  • The police will not tell you your rights. The are required to tell you your "Miranda rights" in the U.S., but only after you've been arrested.
  • The police do not necessarily know the law very well. What you're doing may be legal, but you can get arrested anyway. Then you've got a legal bill to get it straightened out.
  • Ask if you are free to leave. If so, leave immediately. Ask repeatedly.
  • If the policeman can't see you, he can't arrest you. The safest place to be is in your home with the door closed and the shades drawn.
  • Never let a policeman into your house without a warrant.
  • Do not stand in your doorway and converse with the police. If you want to talk, go outside and close the door behind you.
  • Above all, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. You have the right to remain silent. Use that right. Don't even tell the policeman why you're not guilty. If needed, do it later with a lawyer present.
  • Not talking cannot be used against you, although the policeman may try to make you think that it will.
  • Know the name of a lawyer. You can't research lawyers while you're in a jail cell. A good way to find a lawyer is to ask a lawyer in another specialty for a recommendation. Ask a matrimonial lawyer to recommend a criminal lawyer.
  • Immediately afterwards, write down everything you can remember about the incident.

Trivia

During the 19th into the early 20th century in large cities such as Paris, London, New York, and Chicago, it was not uncommon for the police to pick up homeless or drunken boys off the street. Having no place to put them except for jail, the police would often drop the boys off at the home of a local boylover, where they would be fed and taken care of for at least the night. And reportedly, it saved on much paperwork. This practice may continue in some countries even today.
