    You kind of do though.

    You have to actively implement your fifth amendment, right.

    In plane clear, articulate language.

    One guy said “I want my lawyer, dog.” and the judge rule that that didn’t count.

    The police are not your friends, they are people that you should see to interact with as little as humanly possible in your life.

    The cops are not coming to you as friends. Ever!!!

    I’m not going to say that your neighbor who happens to be a cop is the same as this.

    Personally, I would treat them as such, with respect and distance, but your situation may be different.

    Just remember, Neighbor Frank and Officer Hernandez are very different people.

    But anytime they’re in uniform for sure, they are not your friends.

    Even if you call them, they are still trained to assume that you might be the suspect, and to be suspicious of everyone.

      this tbh. As for the guy that said he wanted his lawyer, im guessing he continued to talk to the police? There’s his problem. Don’t talk to them. Simple as.

        I don’t know, probably though.

        Like, if you’re going to say the phrase, I want my lawyer dog, you’re probably gonna keep on talking to the police
