You've just shot somebody in self-defense. What, if anything, do you say to the police? Come on. >> Do you really need to ask me that question? I'm the I don't answer questions guy. Of course, I'm going to tell you not to talk to the police. Yeah, we're talking about your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. You have the right to remain silent, but >> silence when a police officer comes on the scene is not the right way to handle it. Remaining silent can make you look guilty in certain circumstances, so you need to do it the right way. And you say, "Officer, I'm willing to cooperate. I'm going to give you a full statement. I just want my attorney to be here before I do."
