Don't generalize and don't conclude from your point-of-view to the whole world. There are enough places where you can talk to the police without even thinking about a lawyer (and never ever even require one, even in such situations). Not everyone's country is the USA (I assume).
- Dalewyn 4y agoIf my interaction with the police is anything more than inconsequential small talk, I'm getting a lawyer. I would apply this common sense even to Japanese police, among the most respected of police forces in the world. Obligatory IANAL.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoI think, having done this a few times, the line should be "minor traffic ticket," not "small talk." You can get out of a ticket (or get it downgraded to a warning) by being nice to the officer, and that is a much better outcome than you can get by attempting to bring in a lawyer or behave as though you are going to fight legally. Many of these kinds of warrants are closer to the "minor traffic ticket" side than anything else. The trouble is that you may want a lawyer to tell you that.
