Read the words: "nearly half a dozen". That's five people, at best. For the entire state of Iowa who are so concerned about vaccinations.
"Packed into": You pack five people into a compact car. You don't pack five people into a room that could likely seat hundreds of people.

The American legal system and police are ultimately designed to arrest people. They will maliciously and intentionally misinterpret and misconstrue anything you say to achieve their ends. Leave no ambiguity for them to work with. Know your rights, and exercise them at all times.

Putting it Together
Ask: "Am I free to leave?
If not, say: "I am invoking my right to remain silent and I am invoking my right to an attorney."
Then shut the hell up and say nothing to them for any reason whatsoever until you have an attorney. Even if it takes hours, even if they chat you up.

After the Invocation
The cops are no longer allowed to interrogate you, but they can make casual conversation. And if that conversation HAPPENS to circle back to their original questions, it becomes your fault for continuing to talk to them.
Say NOTHING until you have a lawyer present.

Invoking Your Rights
You must explicitly say you are invoking your rights.
"I am invoking my right to remain silent."
"I am invoking my right to an attorney."
Say these words exactly, say it clearly, say it once, and then say nothing else.

Why Custody Is Important
By asking if you are free to leave, you are forcing the cops to admit you are in custody, meaning all further interrogation is custodial, and your Miranda Rights apply. Cops will otherwise claim you were "not in custody" to get around these rights.

The Stop
When a police officer stops you, they will ask questions. The only correct response is: "I don't speak to police," followed by "Am I free to go?" or "Am I being detained?" This is important to establish that they have taken custody of you, which is required to invoke Miranda Rights.

Myth 3: I Don't Need to Talk at All
The right to remain silent means you don't have to give any information to an officer who is detaining you, aside from name and identification. However, in an absurd way, you must specifically tell them you will invoke this right.

Myth 2: You can talk your way out of trouble.
You can't. As they say in the Miranda rights, anything you say can and will be used against you. This also means that anything you say can be intentionally misconstrued to be used against you. The safest thing to do is to invoke your right to silence.

The first thing to do is to dispel some common myths about police interactions.
Myth 1: Cops cannot lie.
Cops can lie. They can and will lie to you and everyone else to help do the job. They will tell you they'll let you off easy if you just admit guilt. Do not take what they say at face value.
