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.

Misdemeanor Charges Matter
Misdemeanor crimes include violent, drug, and white-collar crimes, which are punishable by up to 364 days in jail. While not the most serious classification of crimes in the criminal justice system, being convicted of a charge such as battery on a household member can have even larger ramifications such as losing your gun rights. Even the petty misdemeanor crime of possession of marijuana can affect your ability to secure federal school loans.
The consequences are great when you are facing criminal charges. Before you speak with a police officer or a judge, your best decision is to hire Jennifer Burrill to protect your rights and defend you against criminal prosecution.
