The police are not your friends. They will leverage any slip up you make to squeeze you in to doing what they want. Thus the lawyer. SHe works for Tor. Could you imagine what they might squeeze her to do?
Also, they're not going to say anything over the phone that they aren't willing to say to the lawyer.. so no real point in calling.
- eridius 10y agoThey already said earlier that they would accept a call. They changed their story to saying they'd really prefer to meet in person, but since they already admitted they'd accept a call then that should still work. In any case, the point isn't to cooperate with the police. The point is to just find out what the heck the FBI actually wants. Finding out what they want doesn't mean actually giving them what it is they want. She could say upfront that she's not answering any questions and just wants to know what they want from her. If they won't tell her under those conditions, well, she's no worse off than she is today.
- tP5n 10y agoNo, don't do this, ever. Never think you are going to outsmart a professional doing his/her job - be it feds or police, you are going to lose. Imagine this happening in your line of work, it'd be absurd thing to happen, right? In general, don't take health or legal advice from HN. There are other places for that, and there is money to spent well.
- eridius 10y agoThis isn't about outsmarting anyone.
- iak8god 10y ago> She could [call them and] say upfront that she's not answering any questions and just wants to know what they want from her. Presumably her lawyer advised her against doing this. If you'd bothered to retain a lawyer in a situation like this, don't you think you'd defer to his expertise on how to deal with law enforcement?
