Folks, when you find yourself interacting with a police officer, and he says, "Now, no one's going to get in trouble here..." HE'S LYING. For the love of God, DON'T give him the answer he wants to whatever follows that statement. Why is this so hard for some people to figure out?

You find that amusing as well. When people get arrested. You are givein these rights........
You have a constitutional right to remain silent. This is a very important right and you cannot be punished for remaining silent or have your silence used against you. Constitutional rights can be waived (given up). Before you say or sign anything, the decision should be carefully made. Anything you say may be used against you in a court of law. If you do answer a question, you may stop at any time and not answer any further questions. You have a right to talk with an attorney before answering any questions.
On "COPS" and or the shows of the like the cops will issue these rights then ask (persude) the victem to talk. I would say nothing except i need to talk to an attorney, Period. Why don't people understand this?
