You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
You also have the right to an attorney — just not right away.
In fact, if you’re arrested and ask for a lawyer, there’s no guarantee you’ll see one promptly. Police don’t have to let an attorney come in and talk with you unless you’re being questioned nor do they have to let your family see you. They don’t even have to tell anyone what crime they are investigating until they charge someone with an offense.
