What should one do if police say they want to “talk” or have one come in for questioning?
You should try to remain calm and be respectful and polite. Do not argue. Do not discuss anything, however. Give the police or investigator your name and identifying information. “Statements made at this time can and WILL be used against you” Tell the police you wish to speak to a lawyer first. This should end any further inquiry.
