Thread: I was arrested.

I know it's too late and Syme already covered it, but damn, there is NO reason to talk to police about anything, ever, whether you are guilty or innocent. Don't ever talk to them about criminal activity whatsoever. If a cop asks you questions about anything, you say: "I'm sorry officer but if you have any more questions of that nature you'll have to direct them to my lawyer." Then SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. That "cool guy" cop was playing you for a sucker, and they told you that you won't be charged and acted friendly toward you because it kept you talking. They told you that being honest would help a lot because it kept you talking. They were lying to you.

Learn from this. Don't say anything to anyone without your lawyers OK and if you plan to read a statement in court, clear it with your lawyer first. Do whatever he says because he's your only hope at this point. Maybe you have a chance that you won't get a serious conviction but you also have a chance that you will go to prison on a felony so you need to take this fucking seriously and gave a plan. And here's your plan: SHUT THE HELL UP. Say nothing to anyone about this no matter how many times they ask you. Don't talk to your friends, don't talk to your family, don't talk to the guy across the street who jeers at you about this. In fact, don't post in this thread anymore. You have nothing to say to anyone except your lawyer and in private. Period. Please trust me about this. You've already made this problem a lot worse than it had to be by confessing. Please, learn from that mistake and don't dig that hole any deeper. Keep your mouth SHUT!
