This. Not "Well let me call my lawyer." Not "Oh well I did this but not that." no trying to talk your way around them, they'll win, they can lie and mislead but if you do so you are committing a felony.
"I need a lawyer" or similar is what should be said when you are under arrest or detained.
I need a lawyer
One of those harmless phrases that gets presented to a jury with an average IQ of 86 and ends up nailing your ass to the wall.
e: 'I want to talk to an attorney and have them present during questioning to explain the allegations against me'
That was my exact thought too. Kek
