Can anyone in Canada or the UK or other common law jurisdictions comment if “don’t talk to the police without a lawyer” is good policy in those jurisdictions, or is it only good policy in the US where the legal system is deranged?
It can be hard to figure out where to take lessons from american advice and where the advice is specific to US idiosyncrasies.
- username90 6y agoCanada has similar laws as USA, UK has the same situation as most of Europe where you can lie to the police and they can't lie to you. So I think the advice is mostly for countries like USA and Canada with reverse rights, that is the police has more rights than you. In Europe where you have more rights than the police talking to them is safer than talking to a civilian.
