Cop might be your friend. Cop might not be your friend. Or, more importantly, it may be department policy for the cop to not be your friend. Especially if you live in liberal shithole state like I do.

What I am about to type here - is NOT disrespectful. However, it IS from years as a Special Agent with the DIA and working with local law enforcement in several states across America:
Do not EVER trust a Police Officer. EVER. It is their job to get you to confess to whatever...and by ANY means necessary. They are allowed to lie directly to you. They are allowed to say whatever it takes to get you to "own up" to what you did, or did not do. One wrong answer that you may have inadvertently told them - in the confusion - could potentially mean felony charges against you.
That is the way our legal system is set up. Frazod is absolutely correct. If, God forbid, this ever happens to you - tell the Police that you will not answer ANY question until you have reached Counsel. The moment you ask for Counsel, they are "supposed" to stop any questioning. This RARELY happens. Say nothing - I say again - say nothing.
