Don't Talk to the Police!

As a criminal defense attorney, I am always amazed when people talk to the police. I cannot stress this enough: DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE. Be respectful, but request a lawyer and keep your mouth shut. This advice applies to the innocent as well as the guilty. The consequences of talking can be disastrous. If you don't believe me, watch the video below. I like to show this video below to my clients, especially the younger ones. It is a great lesson.




If you are ever approached by the police, contact a criminal defense attorney and politely refuse to speak to the police. Thank goodness for the 5th Amendment!
