Good post...
They are the Law, they can twist shit around like crazy. i've had friends get setup for selling rec drugs and it was definitely entrapment but in court it wasn't even an issue even with a very good lawyer.
Need to often got to apealls to get them to even FOLLOW THE LAW!
May good Attys go in with that attitude to start. Problem is thats expensive and lengthy.
Knowing just to keep Mr mouth shut from the get go, regardless of their Phychological Tactics to get you talking, is the #1 thing to keep a guy out of a problem or, minimize it.
Dont LIE! Dont say ANYTHING, except, "Why would you ask me somtning like that...". Then - Shut Up. They might tip some cards.
Then all you say is , " I really have no desire to talk to you, I'd like you to leave". Be civil,Dont be rude. Be the guy they forget. They got plenty of other Biz.
Most guys CANT DO THIS! They get scared and talk, or just talk... It WILL NOT HELP YOU regardless of any Bull Shit they tell you! YOu want a deal? The DA & prosecuters cuts deals, not cops!
This is the disstilled essence of many, many thousands of $z of Atty fees & years of misery of guys I've known.
Just Shut the F--- up, and walk away. Call you Lawyer and fill him in W/ any detals.
