REMEMBER

Remember when you are being investigated or questioned by a law enforcement agency relating to a possible criminal charge, REMEMBER.

The law enforcement agency may not have enough evidence to charge you with a crime, and they hope that during their interview of you that you will by "cooperating" with them give them the evidence albeit unwittingly that they need to charge you with a crime.

If you are contacted by a law enforcement agency that "want to chat with you about such and such" remember they are seeking answers for their own reasons, not for the purposes of proving you "didn't" commit a crime.

With the rare exception, except in the presence of a search warrant, you may refuse the law enforcement officers permission to search you, your home or other premises, and you may refuse to talk with them. If in doubt, advise the officers immediately that you desire to speak with legal counsel before any further questioning or search, or discussion is completed.
