"And then I said"A blawger provides some guidelines about
talking to the police.
Not Guilty provides a pretty good take on the
law. This entry deals with some of the myths of
talking to the
police.
Myth: Police have to give you your rights if they want to talk to you. Fact: Miranda warnings (you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and WILL be used against you, you have the right to an attorney) only have to be given in custodial interrogation. Basically, if a cop comes up to you and asks you for your name and where you are going, they don't necessarily have to give you Miranda. Myth: If your mom calls and tells the cops she hired you a lawyer, the cops have to stop talking to you. Fact: They don't have to stop talking to you until YOU ask for a lawyer. There are magic words everyone should know and say if they are actually being interogated by the police. They are as follows: I WANT A LAWYER. I WANT A LAWYER. I WANT A LAWYER. You can't play the game unless you know the rules. Hat tip to Alaskablawg.
