God Bless America
"God bless America, god bless the Bill of Rights, and thank God for the Fifth Amendment. I'm not ashamed to say I'm proud of the Fifth Amendment . . . and I'm proud to admit that I will never talk to any police officer under any circumstances."
This has been around for a while, but it is worth re-posting it again. In the video below, Professor James Duane explains why you should always exercise your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent, and why you should never speak to the police or investigators under any circumstances.
It will never help. You cannot talk yourself out of getting arrested, and whatever you say (and possibly things that you don't say) will be used against you later as admissions. Anything that you say that could help you later will be inadmissible at trial because it is hearsay. Even the most innocent statement that you make can be used against you later, and James Duane explains how.
