If, God forbid, your ever involved in a self defense shooting. Do NOT answer any questions the law may be asking you until your lawyer is sitting next to you. You may think your helping in the investigation, just to get things over with but as the Miranda rights state, "ANYTHING, you say CAN and WILL be used against you in the Court of law".
Don't chance it folks. Most likely you'll go downtown anyways, so just wait awhile longer for your lawyer to get there. It could mean the difference between being a free man and 30 to life.
I was taught to say this in a polite and respectful manor, I'll be more than willing to answer your questions and help expedite this as soon as my council advises me. It's not being an ass by not talking until your lawyer is there, it's your right, use it!
With the current state of our Country I just thought I'd throw a reminder out there.
