you never have to speak to a cop or a detective without a lawyer present, even if all the cop wants to know is your name......***i acutally know a guy who calls his lawyer everytime he gets pulled....***cops can actually beat a guilty plea out of you and if no one was there to witness your fucked and they get away with it....................................
unless your being detained with "reasonable suspicion" for a crime or are being arressted for a crime, you do not have to talk to a cop. you have the right to end the conversation any time you wish. that's why whenever i get stopped, i ask "why am i being stopped"? and if i am being detained? if i am not being suspected of a crime, i am not talking. if i am suspected of a crime, i will ask for a lawyer and then go on from there. if i'm being arressted, then i refuse to answer any questions without a lawyer present during questioning.
