You have to request a lawyer and only talk to police once your lawyer is present.

The advice I usually see to be more ‘polite’ is to say one will answer questions after speaking to their lawyer. Since no lawyer would tell their client to answer questions without their presence if at all it becomes in effect “I don’t answer questions”. Something like “I’d be happy to answer your questions after speaking to my attorney”. \r\n\r\nAs to why not add the ‘personal’ qualifier.. it is because what is a ‘personal question’ is a bit subjective and even if we went with things that most reasonable people agree aren’t personal, like a cop asking someone what day of the month it is, one can imagine scenarios where it could be used against them. For instance if someone *doesn’t* know the day of the month it could be used as evidence to infer someone was intoxicated or in certain frame of mind. Obviously would be with other factors a LEO can thread into a very carefully crafted story, which is their job and one they are much much much better at then you or I.\r\n\r\n**Definitely don’t take ‘not speaking to the police’ as remaining totally silent as that’s specifically not seen as someone retaining their rights against self-incrimination.** Make a clear unambiguous statement about not answering questions.\r\n\r\nI’d suggest anyone getting into the weeds like I’m doing read the book (pamphlet really) the guy on YouTube wrote after the popularity of the above video. He clarifies *exactly* what you want to do as simply as possible. “You Have the Right to Remain Innocent” (https://www.amazon.com/You-Have-Right-Remain-Innocent/dp/1503933393). There is some things that had subtly changed since that YT lecture.

Be polite, don't antagonize them, etc. If driving, give over all documentation required (license, registration, insurance).\r\n\r\nBut other than that, do not volunteer ANY information, and in particular do not agree to any kind of search. The video walks through several scenarios (driving, walking, confronted at home by police who want to enter) and gives legally-tested language to use when refusing a search or when asking to be released. \r\n\r\nNot in the video, but from Prof. James Duane's book [\\_You Have the Right To Remain Innocent\\_](https://www.amazon.com/You-Have-Right-Remain-Innocent/dp/1503933393), I would add the additional recommendations below. \r\n\r\nLanguage is important, because police have claimed that they didn't understand what somebody meant when asserting their rights. The SCOTUS (thanks, Antonin \"Police Bootlicker\" Scalia, may you rest in hell) has backed the precedent that police can proceed with search or interrogation, and the results are legally admissible, if they plausibly assert that they didn't understand the person was asserting their rights.\r\n\r\nSo, if the police choose to interrogate you, Prof. Duane has recommended that you assert both your right to silence and your right to consultation with a lawyer, don't confuse the police with a bunch of chatter or conversation, and refuse to answer any police questions until a lawyer is present and representing you. A lawyer who will, if they have any sense at all, will tell you to refuse to answer questions and end the interview until they can consult with you and determine the correct path forward.","subreddit_name":"raisedbynarcissists","author":"RickRussellTX"},{"body":"The \"Don't Talk to the Police\" guy [wrote a follow-up book](https://www.amazon.com/You-Have-Right-Remain-Innocent/dp/1503933393) wherein he points out precedent indicating that even saying \"I invoke my privilege against self-incrimination\" or an equivalent (\"I invoke the fifth,\" etc) can be used by prosecutors as evidence of there being something to incriminate yourself with, and that your saying anything like that can be brought up to jurors and then described as you indicating you had something to hide.\r\n\r\nThe dude's advice is to say \"I want my attorney\" and nothing else.
