TV shows are notoriously bad sources of information about the real world. In the real world if the police has anything solid which they believe points at you as the perp, they will arrest you first (possibly after watching you for a while). Extracting information from you is so much easier when you are intimidated and fearful - as anyone would be after marinating for a few days in a cell.
Talking to the police before you get arrested is just plain stupid. Let the lawyer do the talking. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRNc3Qic-Ks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRNc3Qic-Ks

- jstewartmobile 7y agoDoesn't reduce the validity of averros comment. Rayiner may be factually correct, but his comment normalized the great injustice of the situation. Kid gets caught with a little pot at a parade, and the cops slam his ass to the ground and book him. Google screws millions and millions daily, and they get a letter. Lawyers are experts in law... not so much with justice.
