Don't Help the Police Convict You
Many people believe — usually wrongly — that they can talk themselves out of their predicaments when they have been arrested or are being investigated by the police. What usually happens instead is that most of them end up talking themselves into a deeper hole.
Oregon jails and prisons are full of people who made the mistake of talking freely to the police before getting independent legal advice. Talk to a lawyer before saying anything to the police!!!
It is not a question of honesty, because you are under no obligation to speak to the police. Tell them politely that you will not answer any questions and that they can ask their questions of your criminal defense lawyer.
