Personal experience has taught me that they’ll misinterpret and outright lie to get what they want out of any statement you make, no matter how innoculous.
‘Innocent until proven Guilty’ is a fairy-tale.

Okay, but I’d still actually have to have committed a crime to be convicted, right? I’m not talking about accidentally confessing to something I did. I’m talking about actually not having done anything illegal. That’s what not committing a crime means.

In the sense that cops and prosecutors go after people precisely because they think they’re guilty, you’re right. But all that phrase really means is that the burden of proof is on the prosecution’s side. It’s a proceedural thing, and very much real.
