If you are detained, do not talk at all, even if you’re nervous, even if you think you’re being helpful. Do not volunteer anything. If you are arrested, you say exactly this and nothing else: “I invoke my right to remain silent, and I invoke my right to an attorney.” Repeat that exact phrase AND NOTHING ELSE until you have your attorney present.
And that’s why you DON’T TALK TO THE POLICE.
