    Don’t talk to the cops. Say you want a lawyer and will remain silent. They are not your friend. They have zero interest in “your side” of the story and only wish to gather info to arrest you. Once you’re arrested you are someone else’s problem and they don’t care.

    In case you didn’t see it. DONT’T TALK TO COPS.

      It should be added that, “Once a suspect requests a lawyer, police are generally required to stop questioning until an attorney is present. The Supreme Court case Edwards v. Arizona further strengthened this rule, holding that any attempt by law enforcement to continue questioning without an attorney present violates the suspect’s rights.”

      Once you ask for a lawyer questioning is ‘suppose’ to stop. If you’re still alone and they keep prying. That’s only more cause for concern.

        Unless of course you’re in Louisiana, in which case the police can keep interrogating you as long as they want. The Louisiana supreme court deserves the death penalty for their blatant violation of Warren Demesme’s constitutional rights
