Only provide the police with your identifying information.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you are 100% innocent it is not worth it. \u00a0Even if you think you can outsmart the police, \u00a0and even if you do, \u00a0there may be horrible \u00a0unforeseen consequences. Even if you think cooperating with the police shows good faith, which it does, \u00a0you might shoot yourself in the foot.<\/p>\n<p>Bottom Line, and this is not said lightly, when confronted by law enforcement, do not answer questions without an attorney present. \u00a0Only answer the questions that are necessary, e.g., for your name, date of birth. Do not answer questions about a potential case, pending case, or past case.<\/p>\n<p>There are very real reasons as to why you should not say anything. \u00a0Below is a video from a law professor and former detective who explains these reasons.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6wXkI4t7nuc?rel=0\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As far as advice from lawyers goes, one of the most often given, and most true is: \u00a0when dealing with [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-criminal-defense"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marvincable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marvincable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marvincable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marvincable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marvincable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1388"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/marvincable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1388\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5538,"href":"https:\/\/marvincable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1388\/revisions\/5538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marvincable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marvincable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marvincable.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
