respectfully disagree with you, in small part. Of course I 100% agree with you to ALWAYS get a lawyer. It's not just "guilty" people who benefit from having one before talking to police.

Being old, I well remember the even older "good cop.bad cop" tactics. They got confessions for centuries, from both guilty and innocent people. I can remember two detectives looking in the room I was in, with one saying, "We know how to make 'tough guys' talk." I found that absolutely hilarious, as I had been un-cuffed, and in that small room, could have destroyed both of them in under a minute ..... with time to spare!

But, being 100% innocent -- I had been charged, literally, with cattle rustling! -- I was content to wait until they closed the door to say, "Lawyer, please, kind sirs!" However, before they came in, their only witness admitted he was lying. Crazy story, one my children love.

However, these days, investigators use the Reid Technique. It works very well with those who do not immediately request a lawyer. If they get you to even talk about the weather or a local baseball team, there is a very high chance that they will get something close to a confession. If you are guilty, that happens faster in general than if you are innocent.
