Basic Responses to Detention and Arrest
As soon as you perceive that you’re not free to go, say the Magic Words:
I'M GOING TO REMAIN SILENT, I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LAWYER.
By invoking your rights at the very outset, you make it much harder for the police to trick you into saying things that can be used against you in court.

Of course, remaining silent is hard to do. It’s human nature to try to talk your way out of trouble. Nervousness makes people want to talk, too. Naturally, the cops are aware of these tendencies and use them to manipulate you into answering questions. It takes real self-control to exercise your right to remain silent, but it’s the best possible thing you can do for yourself, in terms of criminal defense strategy.
