Your Legal Rights

Free legal advice from someone who is not a lawyer! If you have not committed a crime, do not admit to committing one. Even if you’re threatened with having to wait in a hot room for hours and then threatened to wait again later for an additional four hours under similar circumstances on a different day.
Also, some public defenders may not actually advocate for your best interests. And never agree to something you’re being coerced into.
Also, know your rights. It’s gross how screwed up the legal system can be sometimes when both parties are aware of what is true yet still pursue the incorrect path regardless of the truth.
That’s something my father taught me. Lawyers (some, not all) just want to crush their opponent. Whether it’s fair or right or neither.
I learned on my own never to give in under coercion unfortunately. So I will never again advocate against what is right. Nor will I perjure myself under pressure. So bring on the heat, the waiting, the threats….soemone who has committed no crime need not admit guilt for the sake of convenience. In fact, I would argue that doing so is actually unethical.
Oh, and what happened to “innocent until proven guilty”? And pleading the 5th? This is why we need more civics in school. People don’t know their rights as Americans. Rights that people fought and died for.
In England, there is no presumption of innocence until proven guilty. And I might be wrong but I think they are also subject to questioning without having access to an attorney.
Anyways, don’t be wanton. Stand for something or you’ll fall for anything.
