Two FBI agents just showed up at my door asking about my 17-year old son being at the Capitol. My wife and I gave them an earful. An “anonymous” tip (probably from some lefty friend of his) said he was inside the building. He wasn’t. I told them he was with me and my wife and that we were abiding by our civil rights to peacefully assemble outside of the Capitol. I said I could give them other witnesses (they refused, just said they were following up on the tip).
I then lectured them about how dangerous this situation is, that they are federal police showing up at the door of an American because of their political beliefs. I told them that trust has completed eroded in the FBI. I asked them, “Do you have kids?” One agent said, “I have five.” Then I said, “As a father, do you understand how dangerous this situation is? Someone who doesn’t like your son or daughter could ‘rat’ on them and have the police knock on their door for thought crimes.”
Eventually the two agents admitted they thought this was BS and they didn’t even want to waste their time and effort on this. Entire conversation took about 20 minutes, but I gave them a piece of my mind. My wife was very upset and they could tell and they kept apologizing.
That works for now. But in a world where our civil liberties have been wiped out they will just start arresting people anyways. No rights means no rights. You will comply or your world will be destroyed. You simply don't refuse in a Communist nation.

Welcome to USA 2021.
The other replies are correct. In addition:
The only thing you say to law enforcement questioning you is "I have nothing to say".
If arrested you say "I'm invoking my right to remain silent"
Also "I want to speak to my lawyer"
That works for now. But in a world where our civil liberties have been wiped out they will just start arresting people anyways. No rights means no rights. You will comply or your world will be destroyed. You simply don't refuse in a Communist nation.
Truth!
