Remaining silent and deceiving law enforcement officers are very different things.

I have two kitchens in my house. If a police officer asks me to take them to the kitchen, and I take them to the annex kitchen the am I a liar?

You unlock a phone or a computer and sign into one profile and not another. Are you lying?

That's an act of commission. You should simply do nothing, unlock nothing, and say nothing. Wait for an attorney.

It may not be difficult for the prosecutor to point out that you "unlocked" your phone into a mode you never use and in fact specifically use to deceive law enforcement.

Much simpler and safer to do absolutely nothing. Plus, you don't know for sure if that secondary mode being unlocked can enable third-party tools to break into the primary profile.

What if Kitchen 1 has a PIR sensor that when tripped flushes all the coke down the toilet?

I think you're right, but generally speaking the 5th amendment gives wide rights, so in any interaction with the police in America one should always keep their mouth shut, and if pressed say that you won't speak without a lawyer. They literally say: "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." That is not an exaggeration.

It is very difficult to prosecute someone for a crime if they stay silent during the legal process, it's why the police are hyper-aggressive, they are trying to catch any idiot who will say anything that will get them arrested and charged, so they can report to the municipality, county (or state or whatever) that they have achieved x, y, z rates of charges, solved crimes etc., in order to secure better funding (meaning better salaries, benefits, pensions, and toys to terrorize you with).

Here's a recording of a law school lecture - a compelling argument for why you should never talk to the police https://youtu.be/d-7o9xYp7eE

For sure, I agree with everything you're saying, but the parent commenter was saying all non-cooperation is allowed which isn't true. I don't think they considered the case of resisting arrest or other similar cases.

you can be non-cooperative without meeting the bar for resisting arrest though, for instance if you refuse to incriminate yourself

People are consistently arrested and/or charged for resisting arrest for not identifying themselves in states that do not have “stop and ID” laws.

Even if you know to the letter what your state law requires, the police often don’t. If you take the arrest and sit in jail for 2-12 hours, you can fight it later in court. Somehow, this is a luxury for most people in the US.

"You were rude to me earlier, so I don't want to talk to you" may get you beaten up but won't get you in further legal trouble.

If it comes up at trial, you simply explain that the officer was rude to you, so you didn't want to talk to them, which caused them to be even more rude to you, which confirmed your decision to not talk to them.

For sure. I thought the parent commenter wasn't considering cases like resisting arrest in their statement though
