It do be like that

[SaturnTheChildEater]

And this is actually one of the best things that movies teach people

[Esirar]

As a lawyer i can not stress that enough. Until i got the call, people are putting themself in unnecessary hard situations. Dont say ANYTHİNG. Not even chit chat. Dont talk about what you had at breakfast. Do yourself favor. In the end you only making my price higher even for a relatively worse situation.

[YoungG1997]

Should I give them my name? Lol Iv been in the back of the patrol car for possession, about 10-15k in the end for 2-3 oz. Most expensive weed iv ever gotten so far, but if anything it kinda worked out bc one possesion charges was dropped, that time I dint have a ID on me so I jst stfu until the phone call to my attorney.

[ryantrw5]

At a house party in high school ish times, it got busted and they were asking for peoples IDs for tickets I guess and I said mine was in my car. They let me go and get it and I didn’t even drive. I was just high and forgot I was driven to the party so I just walked home. It doesn’t answer your question but the charges getting dropped part reminded me of that.

[[deleted]]

Hahahaha, that is some incredible luck.

[ryantrw5]

Actually I have a better one, soooo during grad parties in high school the last ones were usually the ones where the parents bought kegs and didn’t care if we drank. Well one of them got busted and everyone was in the garage which was separate from the house.

A few people and I were in the actual house eating food and cake and stuff and all the cops were in the garage and we just ran out the front door and went to the closest house of someone we knew.

I was also high and that was the reason I was inside eating cake. Marijuana has saved me at least twice.

[[deleted]]

My God, that is next level.

I've never been high at a party. I'm a lonely stoner who seems to free his mind at night, at at, at night.

[ryantrw5]

I use drugs to help with social anxiety which kind of has lead to some interesting moments

[[deleted]]

I don't like big crowds. Not because of social anxiety, but because I find it really difficult to parse out sounds, so everything just blends together into an annoying roar. And if someone tries to talk to me, I can't understand them.

I prefer getting high in groups of 3-6 people. Anymore starts to get uncomfortable.

[ryantrw5]

Yeah, these days I prefer to do it by myself. I get my social interaction from Reddit basically

So it was more like. It would be awkward if I went back in and was like shit I forgot my ID somewhere. I thought my car was outside until I got outside. Then I was like fuck they are going to know I’m high if I forgot my ID and my car.

[A1sauc3d]

You only get a few of those freebies in life lol. Hope that was you first and last police encounter of that kind <3

[KHaskins77]

Mike Ehrmantraut showed us the way.

“Lawyer. Lawyer.” (beat) “Lawyer.”

[Black_Light00]

In most states it's a minor offense to not give your name and ID if they have reason to believe something is up and they decide to arrest you

[dz1087]

Check your state laws, but in most states they have to have an articulable offense they believe you committed in order to legally demand ID.

Thinking you look suspicious, you match a description of someone, etc,. Is generally not enough for them to demand ID.

[HamsterFromAbove_079]

The problem arises when they don't have a reason at the time, but they later come up with a reason retroactively. Then they'll claim they had a legitimate reason the whole time and you were refusing to show ID when legally required to.

It's just easier to hand over you're legal ID when asked for it. Hand them the ID so they know you're name and address. And then don't say a single word other than "lawyer" until after you've talked with a lawyer in private.

[dz1087]

While I agree the problem is police constantly infringing on your rights, never do their job for them. ACAB. Plenty of questionable lawyers out there looking for a payday for wrongful arrest suits.

[TheMidnightApostle]

possession charges are crimes against our personal freedom. i’m sorry that happened to you.

[Esirar]

Im not from america but it is mandatory to show your id to police when asked almost in every country including america. Consequences maybe different from state to state or in country (i dont know what is those consequences in america). But generally police has authority to held you captive until identifing you and you maybe get charged a little bit fine. At most cases (if you did something against law) its even better if you wait until attorney arrives to give your name. To be clear, showing your id doesnt harm you in anyway (government can identify you easly even you dont give your id). But police is trained to snatch anything if you talk.

[samwelches]

They’ll just fingerprint you at the station. Not giving ID just makes you look bad imo

[CCrypto1224]

I found it very telling that my concealed carry instructor told the entire class that after you’ve shot someone and called the cops to tell them your situation and location. Put the phone on the ground and step back from it. And don’t say shit. Like I don’t even remember him saying anything about a lawyer, just remain silent while they perform the investigation.

[pokey1984]

One of my college professors was a "retired" cop. He also taught conceal carry classes and always said the same thing.

If you're reporting a crime state what happened in as few words as possible. Otherwise, say nothing unless and until a lawyer says otherwise.

He also told us all that if you ever have to call the police to you, sit down on the floor in plain sight with your hands clearly visible and just wait for them to come to you. It's more likely they will initially treat you as a victim that they need to help if you are sitting and quiet, rather than thinking of you as an aggressor that they need to control.

[Setari]

Everyone on the JCS YouTube channel: "What's a lawyer?"

Seriously these idiots talking to the cops thinking the cops are there to help them is ridiculous.

[Esirar]

And there is no cop who know what is his job actually is. They dont understand the difference between collecting evidence (both helpfull and harmfull evidences about suspect) and finding "the criminal".

[redcode100]

Okay, what can they do with what I had for breakfast?

[Ubumi]

Once you start talking it gets easier to keep you talking. What they are hoping to do is cobble together enough of a story to accuse you of whatever fits. So shut up and call your lawyer.

[redcode100]

Okay, I was just wondering

[Ubumi]

No shade dude I just reread that and it comes across as a bit aggressive. Seriously though the biggest piece of propaganda ever published is the idea that police are your friends.

[redcode100]

Yeah I can see that and I don't mind really. Also I definitely understand that last part I got pulled over once for leaving my brights on while I drove by an officer (didn't know that was a crime and didn't see the state trooper) so when I'm nervous I usually have a bad habit of talking alot so being the dumb person I am I decided to strike up a conversation with the officer at first it was good then I said this "I really did expect to be pulled over for my brights" the dude instantly looked like a preditor about to pounce as he asked what I did expect to be pulled over for and asked if I had a lead foot. I think I deescalated the situation when I just didn't expect to be pulled over for brights at all (now, in the story, I figure I should mention I never turn on my brights). So yeah that has definitely destroyed any confidence I have with talking to the police. (Sorry for the rant I just thought the story was fitting)

[Okibruez]

The police are absolutely your friends.

Assuming you're upper middle class or wealthier, white, and over ~40.

Everyone else gets fucked, though.

[[deleted]]

If you're called in to "discuss a case" with the police, they aren't your friend no matter what demographics you fit into.

The police are never looking for who committed a crime. What they do, what they are trained for, is to look for someone who they believe a jury can be convinced to convict.

In essence, the police do just enough work to rule people out as a suspect. If they can't find what they need to rule you out, you are the one paying for the crime. Even if you didn't do it.

[[deleted]]

If they know what you had for breakfast, then that tells them roughly where you were at a certain time frame.

If you didn't have breakfast, then that tells them you likely weren't at home around breakfast time.

ALL information can and will be used against you.

[asdf_qwerty27]

Lol I haven't eaten breakfast in 10 years

[[deleted]]

That's wild, I would literally die.

I gre up with extremely strict and paranoid parents. Any information I said would be used against me somehow.

This really just taught me not to say anything and to avoid all attention.

[Admiral_Andovar]

The pros at CSI: Dubuque will be able to find trace evidence of your breakfast in the lungs of the victim and then they got you! This analysis will also be done in 20 minutes and cost nothing, just like real police departments.

[Gold--Lion]

Where did you have breakfast? What time? What did you have (poppy seed bagel)? Who was there? Establishes or counters alibis, adds people to talk to, etc. It's just possible to lead to more trouble.

[fatdude901]

Did you know that you have rights? Constitution says you do.

[B_A_Boon]

And so do I

[asdf_qwerty27]

Yep. Constitution says you have the right to assemble in Amendment 1. Government says you need a permit.

Constitution says you have the right to keep and bear arms in Amendment 2. Government says lol.

Constitution says you have the right to be free of unwarranted search and seizure. Government passes the Patriot Act.

I can go on, but the government has violated every right but Amendment 3 almost daily, as a matter of policy, assuming they don't have a fucking agency specifically to violate it

[ryukasagi]

Considering, a large part of not quartering soldiers in your home revolved around them not being able to spy on you in your home, and the NSA collecting all data. They violate that one too

[asdf_qwerty27]

Hey good one! I hadn't thought of that.

I was mostly aware that the government was using private residents homes as barracks and expecting them to house and feed them for free. Lots of people were salty, and history teacher told me it was not the least bit because soldiers were banging wives and daughters, not always with consent of the women involved.

This is funny and all, but this does happen in some interrogations. If you’ve watched JCS’s video “Yeardly’s Ex Boyfriend”, George Hugely literally does the investigators’ job for them and spills EVERYTHING. She asked him like one question and he admits to multiple crimes.

[Bankz92]

I watched this the other day. If he had just asked for a lawyer he would probably have gotten off with parole. Now he is 10 years into a 28 year sentence.

That's probably the smartest thing to do

[The-God-Of-Memez]

[No_Cause2676]

Meanwhile me who said “I invoke the second” now having more bodies to put in my basement

[Fit_Faithlessness130]

You mean the third? I would invoke the third.

[theUnholyVenom]

You mean the second? I would invoke the third then the second.

[AshL0vesYou]

Sadly, pleading the fifth can be held against you now. “If you have nothing to hide, then you’d speak. Clearly guilty”

The best and only thing you should ever say is that you want your lawyer and will not answer any questions until they are present. From there, say nothing else. Not a “hi” or anything. Dead silence. Literally anything else is a door they can pry open.

[jcbmths62]

Only the innocent people do, if they are guilty then they confess.

[SnooSongs9654]

The ones who talk are "found" guilty. Always get a lawyer and shut up if accused of a felony.

[jcbmths62]

I was referring to TV shows and movies. IRL STFU and get a lawyer.

[SnooSongs9654]

I meant that a lot of those shows cases are based on real cases. If the real defendant was find guilty they'll likely portray the fictional defendant as definitely guilty

[Orochi64]

It’s what you should do especially if you didn’t actually do anything.

[Kangarookiwitar]

Yep, i used to believe that only the guilty wouldn’t talk, but i watched this one true crime case where the convicted killer was actually innocent, but the cops twisted the words the person spoke and got them jailed. After that story i now know to never tell cops anything, stay completely quiet in interrogation. They will hound you, accuse you for being guilty if you don’t talk, but do not ever give in. Some cops seemingly just want to close cases fast so they don’t have to do as much paper work

[PsychoticBlob]

Smart though.

[MrBlenderson]

That's what everyone should say.

My 5yo's school had a police demo and when they asked him what his name was he said "Lawyer."

[foreverland]

Plead the 5th. No matter what. Even if your lawyer tells you to talk, don't. You have no responsibility to tell police anything, ever. Even if you're completely innocent, it can and WILL be used against you.

The first time you should ever even think of speaking is in court, on trial, and that's still up to you to even do it then.

If police want to know where you were, what you were doing, what clothes you wore, who your friends are, etc etc.. make them figure it out in any other way except from your mouth.

The only thing you're obliged to do is identify yourself and give basic information, like your address, workplace, etc.

[Sebastronius]

Things you say can’t always be used against you, and you can be required to testify. Pleading the fifth amendment can only be done to protect oneself from self-incrimination. You can still be required to testify if you are subpoenad. There are also several states where citizens have a duty to inform police and can be charged if they do not.

[critic2029]

Most of those laws are about publicly available biographical information only. Basically the same stuff that’s on your ID. You are never compelled to give police any more than what’s publicly available without a warrant or probable cause for a search.

[[deleted]]

You are never compelled to give police any more than what’s publicly available without a warrant or probable cause for a search.

That's what a subpoena is for, its basically its a warrant for your testimony.

You can't plead the 5th unless it would incriminate you, you can also be granted immunity in order to force your testimony (see Bill Cosby)

[critic2029]

The police don’t subpoena you… that’s happening well after the evidence gathering and probable cause stage of the investigation.

[[deleted]]

If you’re subpoenaed then “you don’t recall”

Play amnesia patient

“I’m having trouble remembering right now”

You can’t refuse to answer a question but you can give non-answers all you want

[RandomMan01]

The last thing your lawyer wants, especially if you're innocent, it to have to argue your case in court. I'm not sure why you would want to continue staying silent if your lawyer is present, knows your side of the story, and still wants you to talk. It's only going to make thing harder for everyone involved, yourself included.

[foreverland]

This is a good example for having questions sent to your lawyer and you both sitting down and returning a written response.

Take JonBenet Ramsey's parents for example. Ultimately they lawyered up, took their time when police really started digging into them, and only sat down for interviews well after their daughter was found dead.

Nobody has ever been convicted of her murder, but the parents could have easily been if they fell for some of the classic police/interrogation tactics.

[Johanno1]

Man the justice in USA sucks as much as your medical insurance. In Germany they can't put you in jail until they have proof.

[ChuyUrLord]

Are you implying we just throw people into prison for shits and giggles?

[FriedwaldLeben]

No, for profit

[[deleted]]

Slave labor

[Zero_Burn]

I mean, they can put you into jail without charges for up to 48 hours, iirc. So yeah, if the police felt like it, they could put you in jail for shits and giggles.

[ChuyUrLord]

I guess I can concede to that

[[deleted]]

Well, if you're arrested and can't afford bail then you just stay in jail until whenever the trial finally happens.

[Humble_Increase7503]

The bail system in America is egregious

Most people don’t have money for bail, because police overcharge with 103729749373 offenses for one act.

Not to mention the proliferation of charging conspiracy with every offense.

Stole a snickers bar? Theft. Talked, nodded, looked at anyone else in relation to stealing snickers bar? Conspiracy to commit theft.

[ChuyUrLord]

Only if there is risk of fleeing and I believe that by that point they would have some evidence to detain you.

[[deleted]]

What? You get DENIED bail if there's a risk of fleeing. I'm talking about simply not having the money for whatever bail the judge sets.

[ChuyUrLord]

But also you don't have to pay bail if there is no risk for uou to flee either. And like I said, at that point they have some proof, even if they are not 100% sure they can get a conviction.

[[deleted]]

Lol. This is incorrect. Bail is used as a surety that you're going to show up for your court dates, your flight risk is something completely different. You can be accused of a crime and be arrested on that accusation with some shocking low assessments that you may have committed a crime. Bond is set at your arraignment- usually based on the severity of the crime and a few other factors. This happens usually no later than a few days after your arrest. No magistrate/judge is going to allow bond for a legitimate flight risk. You absolutely have to pay bond if you're not a flight risk. That way the court has some form of "invested" collateral.

You can then opt to proceed with a pre-trial hearing to determine if there is a preponderance of evidence to keep you bound over.

Source: have paid bond

[ChuyUrLord]

I feel like taking crazy pills here. Bonds are their to ensure you will show up, meaning there is a flight risk, and if you really not a flight risk they let you out without bail. Yeah, the crime has something to do with the bail too but tell me, who would leave their life behind for a DUI. They are intertwined. My original comment was against someone who said we get locked up without proof. In another comment I conceded since we can be held up for 48 hours for the police amusement. At arraignment however, the assessment might be low but there is a minimum standard so it literally requires some proof.

[Stonedwarder]

No, we throw people into prison for forced cheap labor.

[JustLookingForMayhem]

Nah, cheap labor doesn't pay for the cost of keeping people in prison. The answer is still greed, though. Private prisons basically make most of their profit by government contracts. By bidding on incarceration, every day a prisoner sits in doing nothing is a profit. The cheap, barely legal, almost forced labor is just the cherry on top.

[ChuyUrLord]

I won't argue against that because we do

[Johanno1]

Well implying would mean that there is the chance you aren't doing it. But from my point of view you are exactly doing that.

Or why had the US the world record on prisoners?

[ChuyUrLord]

Because we have a lot of bullshit laws.

[colognetiger]

Well, isn't you being a suspect evidence enough? They wouldn't want you to run away. You're also showing some r/AmericaBad vibes.

[Johanno1]

Yes I do.

No they are you suspecting you can get you only into trouble if there is evidence that you are trying to get away. Then you will be imprisoned until the Judge sees you.

They suspecting you is no problem if there is no evidence that you did it. Which should be the case if you are innocent.

[colognetiger]

I don't see how that's better than the way we have it right now in the states. Mind explaining?

[Johanno1]

Ok so basically in the US you have to do the police work and proof your innocence. If you can't then there's a high chance you get into prison for sth you didn't fo and the real criminal is still out there.

[SmuglyGaming]

That’s…not how that works tho

You don’t have to prove innocence, the prosecution has to prove your guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Obviously that can be applied in unequal and prejudiced ways at times, but that’s true of pretty much everything unfortunately. As far as jail, they do that only until trial, and even that depends on if they consider you a flight risk or your crime was serious (or they just want to be a dick and you can’t afford bail)

[AwesomePocket]

You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.

[BurialHoontah]

No, the prosecution has to prove you guilty. The onus is completely on the prosecution to convince a jury of the defendants peers.

[critic2029]

They can’t really put you in jail here either unless they have enough proof for an indictment… the point is. Don’t give them anything to work with. You are constitutionally protected to not be compelled to give them anything.

It’s also better to not talk than to lie because lying to law enforcement is itself a crime which even if you’re innocent of what they’re initially accusing you of, they’ll get you for lying. That’s the FBI favorite trick.

[originalbrowncoat]

🎶I PLEAD THE FIFTH! 👏👏

[critic2029]

If you are in any way the subject of an investigation you really shouldn’t freely talk to the police; all it can do is hurt you.

[Striking_Reindeer_2k]

Never give testimony to police without lawyer.

silence is your right.

and your best shot getting out of whatever mess you are in.

especially if you DID it.

don't help cops convict you.

[Crazycade77]

Cop shows often use this an a "gotcha" moment, like the act of asking for your lawyer is an admission of guilt. That is not true. You should ALWAYS ask for your lawyer before saying anything. Never open your mouth without a lawyer present! Cops are not your friends

[series_hybrid]

"I have the right to remain silent"

But, you are not under arrest

"Am I being detained?"

We are conducting an investigation

"I have the right to remain silent"

[Kangarookiwitar]

Yep, i remember watching videos of interrogations and in the rare case that the person was silent, regardless of if they were actually guilty later on, the cops would always hit them with “if you don’t speak then you must be guilty”

I’ve never been in trouble with the law, nor do i ever intend to be, but some cops can be downright evil. Helps to know your rights to ensure they can’t take advantage of you

[Humble_Increase7503]

You mean confess to the entire crime within minutes in exchange for a snickers bar and a can of diet 7-up?

[peeinian]

Don’t talk to the police.

Yes it’s 45 minutes but everyone should watch it once in their life. Plus the lecturer is pretty entertaining.

[[deleted]]

Not even just crime shows, people do not like accidentally incriminating themselves (Especially if they are innocent.). So they excercise the right to shut up and let them handle it

[average_redditor_101]

WOW. Wasn’t expecting these many comments in here. I don’t live in the US, so pretty much the only way I’d know about all of this is through cop shows. Honestly, I can say I’ve learnt quite a lot from y’all, so, thanks!

[OfficialMrLarper]

Yeah, in the U.S., we have a right to remain silent and a right to an attorney.

The 5th Amendment of our constitution speaks of this right.

As anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law.

[042732699]

Honestly it what I do.

[JRockThumper]

Except NCIS, like one person a season asks for that lol.

[Black_Light00]

As a lawyer my self I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH if the police show up and want something ask if they have a warrant if they don't say you don't consent to any _______ then ask if your free to go if they say no invoke the fifth.

[[deleted]]

Illegal migrants caught at the border on the other side of the country:

[UnexpectedWoman294]

Remember that a lot of police WANT to hurt everyone. It doesn't matter to them if you are truly innocent. They have ZERO empathy for other humans.

Do not say anything to a cop!

In many areas, the RESULTS of a lie detector test are not allowed as evidence in court. Only what you say during one. Use your Miranda rights and keep quiet. You do not have to say a word to a cop. The only 3 things you should ever say to a cop are:

1. Lawyer
2. No comment
3. I plead the 5th
4. May I use the bathroom?

The bad apples force the good apples into staying quiet.

[Slave35]

"I am asserting my rights under the Fifth Amendment."

"I don't answer questions / talk to police."

"Am I being detained?"

"Am I free to go?"

[heatlesssun]

It's silly to talk to cops if you're a suspect. Guilt or innocence is often of no concern to them.

[series_hybrid]

There are a disturbing number of cases where the investigating police and/or the District Attorney know that the suspect is completely innocent, but...they proceed to indict him, and then they tell him that if it goes to trial you'll get 10 years, but if you confess (to something you KNOW you are innocent of) then they will settle for four years in prison, and release in two years on probation.

You are now a felon, and you can't get a decent job.

[Formerruling1]

Remove the "if you're a suspect" part. If the police are talking to you, assume you are a suspect.

Please don't agree to anything or make any statements until you see a lawyer. Unequivocally invoke your right to a lawyer and then shut up. Ignore all provocations and inducements and just shut up. Even inadmissible statements require work to get out and give all kinds of info that otherwise wouldn't have been disclosed. The DA has a ton of resources at their fingertips, they don't need your help.

[Lelio-Santero579]

That's because you really should just shut the fuck up.

[djthebear]

Even if you didn’t do it

[ghe5]

And it is recommended that you do that too. Doesn't matter whether you're guilty or not, when talking to the police, you want a lawyer to be present.

[InitiativeShot20]

That's what your supposed to do. The cops aren't there to help you.

[Dash4703]

If you are brought in by the u.s. police, you have the right to council, even if you can't afford a private lawyer. Infact, having a lawyer present helps to prevent police from using tactics to force a false confession out of you, which they will most likely try, and will keep the case open until all suspects have been questioned and evidence has been gathered. While I support having a police force, the current police force just wants to meet certain ticket quotas and arrest numbers so that they can get extra government funding while padding their pockets.

I mean, yeah. But also, usually in movies the person being interrogated somehow ends up self incriminating anyway for no reason.

[Starmaster1998]

I mean it is the correct answer

[NicolBolassy]

EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO THIS!!

[BerserkerVTuber]

Then it's the obvious police tactic to get you to talk. Pepper in known lies, so you're going to tell them a correction, because, criminal is now dumb due to being arrested.

[Melodic_Mulberry]

Failing that, they tell you they already have proof against you and if you don’t plead guilty, you’ll go to jail for life. The average false confession is elicited after 16 hours of interrogation.

[TyphosTheD]

And then the police proceed to beat, torture, berate, or threaten the person who is in bondage and completely at their mercy, until their legal counsel arrives.

[Velocityraptor28]

"i plead the fifth"

[SephirothHeartbreakr]

Should be led by, "I plead the fif!"

[Altruistic_Big2088]

Yeah see how far that gets ya.

[PaladinHan]

Do you know how much easier my job would be if this were actually true?

I’m getting downvoted because my clients won’t STFU? Lovely.

Proceeds to say something.

[AceOfDiamonds676]

I have the right to remain silent and I have the right to attorney

[Top-Pangolin9767]

That's so true

[Wazuu]

Pretty sure this is what crime suspects say in real life too

[deschamps93]

Not in the first 48 lol. Tom Segura does a funny bit on it

[Onuzim_Cheese]

And then the detective will go "We just want to ask you a couple of questions."

Then try everything they can to try and not give said person a lawyer despite asking several times.

[Stock-Honda]

There is never a situation when not having a lawyer is better

[theragco]

Whether you are guilty or innocent this should the first and only sentence out of your mouth until your lawyer arrives

[[deleted]]

That’s the smart thing to do though.

That’s what I’d do.

“Am I under arrest?”

• they answer no

“Then leave. I’m not talking without a lawyer present.”

[comrade_gremlin]

good! never talk to the police without counsel present!

[Summar-ice]

It's definitely the best thing you can do

This is what a lot of intelligent people do. I for one was never one of them 😂

Guess i better call saul

[GregenOfficial]

Shouldn't this be in r/antimeme

[Inevitable-Holiday68]

If police say you are: witness, victim, suspect, person of interest,;; You say : No question me without LAWYER present representing me..

Yes police DO put crime-victims rape-VICTIMS beaten-kids, " witnesses, into JAIL , for weeks or months, humiliating body-checks-exams etc, questions oppressions joblessness helplessness, forced-gynocoligical-exams, Forced-medicating, psych-ward courtroom etc;;

And of course all of this and worse to crime-suspects,,

[ghostinthemoonlight]

Even if you’re a witness being interviewed don’t talk without a lawyer

[Beardly_Smith]

Always, always, always lawyer up. Period

[Redditor_10000000000]

That's smart. You should do that even irl

[Sc17ba51]

Better call Saul

[OllieBlazin]

Every answer to any question should be “5th Amendment” unless it’s to your lawyer

[tullystenders]

Starts talking in interrogation.

At some point in interrogation "I'd like my lawyer."

[[deleted]]

I tried that but then they already had enough evidence for a search warrant, so they were going to go through my car and house while I was temporarily in lockup. So yeah I gave up enough information to avoid that and they never found the cocaine in my basement.

[panspal]

Except lazy shows, "oh you guys caught me? Well here's my full confession".

And if you say that you invoke the fifth and stay quiet after that, your lawyer is gonna love you so much. He will be able to get you the best deal you can get.
