If you're innocent then silence puts you at a disadvantage. To the contrary, especially if you are innocent silence is your best friend.
Remember EVERYTHING you say is taken down. Think "sound bites"
All you should say is that you want a lawyer and then shut up.

If you're innocent then silence puts you at a disadvantage. Bulsh*t.
Innocent people get convicted all the time because they 'cooperated.'
Cops/DAs get just as much credit for convicting innocent people as guilty ones. It doesn't matter to them.
They figure even if you're not guilty this time, you certainly are guilty of something.
Even the cops admit this, and recommend remaining silent, for people with more than two brain cells in a row:
