Don't Talk to the Police
I've posted this bit of advice a few time over the years. Still the best advice ever.
My wife is an immigrant from the Philippines. One day I sat her down in front of this video to make sure she understood that under no uncertain terms was she ever to talk to the police without calling a lawyer first. Ever. Period. This video is great
In most jurisdictions, you are required by law to identify yourself. In some it is a felony if you do not. Then calmly and politely say "Lawyer." I don't care who you are, what you do, who you know, I don't care if you are as innocent as the Second Coming: "Lawyer."
The job of the police officer and investigator is to get enough "evidence" to get an indictment. They work at it all day, every day. They are The Pros; you are the Little League rookie.
Fast talker, but good advice.

Sit down.
Shut up.
