Of course without committing a crime before and without saying anything else.

    In America, it would totally depend on your skin color.

    Without any crime to suspect you of, they might detain you and question you. It’s not uncommon for people to turn themselves in for crimes, and there are legitimate reasons to do so especially with a lawyer, namely to get out on bail easier, avoid having the police raid your home or place of work, and perhaps used to sway the prosecution for a more favorable sentencing, but if the police have no clue what to even charge you for and they can’t figure one out, they’ll just be confused and frustrated, which is a dangerous combination for police

    If you turn yourself in you forfiet your personal belongings. They’d check your ID and see that you have no warrants and tell you to fuck off

    the fifth ? are you sure ? it’s a little old-school, evokes holy music… I would go for the third and the seventh instead, just to shake things up. Cops aren’t used to daring chords like these, you’d totally destabilize them and they wouldn’t be able to jail you

      On one hand, you’re right. On the other hand, I’ve never heard of someone entering a police station and being shot

        Step 1: Be black.

        Step 2: Walk into the police station and say you’re there to turn yourself in. Say you have something you need to show them.

        Step 3: Reach into your jacket.

    Most likely, in my opinion:

    Hold you for 24 hours to see if anyone reports a crime and describes you as the perpetrator.

    When no one does, find a crime which seems plausible for you, and where they’ve gotten a description that could possibly fit you.

    Interrogate you about it, giving you your lawyer of course. Assuming you do not have a solid alibi for that particular crime, there’s a real chance you’ll be charged and eventually convicted.

    If you do have a solid alibi, they might keep looking for other crimes to charge you with, or they might give up.

    If they give up, they’re likely to charge you with something related to wasting their time, for which you will at minimum have to pay a fine.

    In my state a police sergeant can have you held for a psychiatric examination if they determine that you are a possible threat to yourself or others. You’d be transported under guard to the nearest locked ER and be examined. If you kept playing games you could spend 30 days in a locked ward and be liable for the bill.

    If the cops decide to be extra nice to you, they could get you a public defender. They’d be overworked and advise you to stop playing games.

    They would send you on your way. There’s a show - I think on Apple - called Black Bird about a real life serial killer with a history of false confessions. It’s kind of a significant plot point. Good show.
