Heh. You should grab one and scan it. Talking to the police, as in forming some kind of relationship is a good thing to do. Other times, talking to the police is an ignorant thing to do. If the police are asking about witness type stuff, it is probably OK and a public service to tel what you know. If police are questioning you, individually, you keep your mouth shut.
I guess whether the advice on the signs is really harmful or helpful depends on the reasons listed for not talking.
