NEVER Talk to THE POLICE!

Whether you’ve done something wrong or not, NEVER voluntarily talk to the police. They are not there to “figure out what happened so you can go home.”  The only thing you must do is identify yourself ... then STOP TALKING!  What you should say when they start asking you questions is “LAWYER” then call me (or another lawyer) but do NOT start telling your side.  Be polite and cooperative, just make sure you ALWAYS assert your rights as granted to you under the Constitution.

• Do NOT voluntarily submit to field sobriety testing or admit to “I only drank 2 beers."  
• Do NOT go down to the station to give a statement.  
• Do NOT allow them to enter your home.  
• Do NOT allow them to search your car.  
• Do NOT cooperate in any way.  

The police, detectives, investigators are NOT your friends and are NOT there to help you.  They are there to get incriminating evidence against you and are allowed by law to lie to you.  

Just remember, always properly identify yourself, give identification if asked, and then immediately say “Lawyer" ... nothing more!

​Stay safe out there!
