I would never give consent to search anything or any of my possesions. And I would never voluntarily speak to the police or prosecuting attorneys, even if I was a witness to a crime, without an attorney present. Ya never know when you are going to be a victim of an overzealous cop or prosecutor.

I fully agree with that.

And I would never voluntarily speak to the police or prosecuting attorneys, even if I was a witness to a crime, without an attorney present.

I'd disagree with that. That's a sure way to bring the focus on yourself. Look at what happened with the Ramseys. They lawyered up, got uncooperative, and the investigation focused on them.

That being said, a high number of cases are solved by someone stupid enough to incriminate themselves.

I saw a case like that in the Army once. A sergeant being interviewed by CID (criminal investigation) as a witness said a little too much and found himself up on his own unrelated charges.
