Remember, the police are allowed to lie (ponder the concept of a "sting operation" for a moment) and they have no constitutional obligation to protect you. "To protect and serve" bullshit notwithstanding, every citizen should regard the police as hostile and inimical to their interests at all times. The job of law enforcement is to get convictions, not to ensure the right thing is done. If you open your mouth to talk to the police, even in an attempt to defend yourself, you have fucked yourself and are owed no one's pity. The Fifth Amendment was implemented for a reason and every citizen should exercise it instinctively, no matter what the situation.
One of my best friends is serving hard time in the federal penitentiary because he opened his mouth with the best of intentions to explain that in fact he hadn't done what he was accused of. If he had just kept his mouth shut and not panicked under police pressure, he would have walked because there was no physical evidence against him whatsoever. But he lost his head, started stuttering and stammering, and signed his own death warrant. His life is completely over, even though he'll be getting out in the next few months.

I'm with NSD in this argument. If your teen isn't responsible about sex, you failed as a parent. They are biologically ready. It's YOUR responsibility to make them mentally and emotionally ready. I know my son has already done it but for some odd reason prefers videogames (a WTF moment from me).
The other thing, I hate cops. Most racist a-holes you'll ever encounter. Plus, they think everyone's a bad guy, especially if you got some melanin in you.
Don't talk to them. If you see them, avoid them if you can. If they stop you, talk as little as possible. Do NOT under any circumstance say anything that can incriminate you. Have a lawyer present. It's better to be broke than in jail.
What really scares me is today's average American would make a good slave. "Well, if you got nothing to hide." Look, if you got nothing to hide, you're a boring ass person and I'd rather not waste my precious (and very limited) time talking to your boring ass.
I got plenty to hide, baby. Plenty. And the last person I want to find out is a cop. I trust criminals more than cops, and I'm a good guy.
