The only statement you should make to a police officer prior to consulting with an attorney is as follows:
I refuse to consent to any search whatsoever. I do not consent to a search of my residence, my person, my immediate location, my vehicle, or personal effects. I am exercising my constitutional rights as stated in the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. I do not wish to speak with you at this time and I want a lawyer.
