once you “lawyer up” by stating you’ll be waiting for an attorney the police are supposed to let you be

that *supposed to* is where i really meant for the call to the EMTs to come in...when they press beyond the bounds...

some say that immediately 'lawyering' is sometimes seen as a defacto admission of something, as *only* the guilty party calls for counsel...

if, immediately after the event, you feel lightheaded, short of breath, and chest tightness, *they* will want to give you room and not risk being considered at fault if you were denied medical treatment, giving time to let the adrenaline come down, and get that counsel, w/o specifically challenging them to *allow* it...

just extra food for thought on the thread...

I spoke to Mr Attoryney last night. His advice was not to play that short of breath gambit becuase it can be used against you in that you are admitting to not being of good health. Imagine getting grilled on just when your health was having problems and did it contribute to your lack of good judgement in the shoot. What “lack of good judgement?” Well, you did admit immediately after the shoot that you needed medical care.
