A better version of this is: "my attorney has advised me not to answer your questions without her being [physically] present." I believe it is more polite and indicates better that you actually have an attorney (even if you don't).
Before driving off, you should always depart any conflict with "am I still being detained or am I now under arrest?"

- JohnFen 3y ago> "am I still being detained or am I now under arrest?" I wouldn't say that last part for a couple of reasons. Mainly, phrasing it as if those were the only two options might make a cop decide to arrest you. Also, those aren't the only two options. You might just continue to be detained. I think asking "am I free to go?" is a better question.
- ProllyInfamous 3y agoAbsolutely agreed. The politer the overall interaction, the simpler the departures.
