Reblogging to add: YOU MUST UNAMBIGUOUSLY CLAIM YOUR RIGHTS TO BOTH A LAWYER AND TO SILENCE FOR THEM TO COUNT. This means you have to actually say “I am not speaking to you any longer without an attorney.” And then you have to SHUT. UP. No matter what. If you reengage with them in any manner, you have WAIVED your rights. The US Supreme Court in all of their majestic wisdom has decided that staying silent is not enough to exercise your right to silence. The police know that their interrogations have to stop once you tell them you won’t speak with them without a lawyer. If all you do is remain silent, they will KEEP INTERROGATING YOU. Now repeat after me: “I am not speaking to you without an attorney present. I am invoking my right to an attorney and to silence.” And say nothing else. 

I’m not a lawyer, but this is how shit goes down. 

Reblogging because lisa is a lawyer-extrodinaire and this additional info is important!

my mother always trained us to say that. Which is why I think you should add, THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN MAKE DEALS IS THE D.A. AND JUDGE. Do not believe the police if they tell you, they will cut you a deal if you talk. SHUT UP. DO NOT SPEAK WITHOUT A LAWYER.COPS DON’T HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE DEALS. They have the authority to lie to you, to get you to say what they want you to.YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH, THEY GOT YOU. Just don’t talk.

Also if you are pulled over on an empty road or sketchy highway you can drive to a safe place or a place with witnesses.
