Ideally, you'd refer to an actual lawyer in your family or social circle, or your actual lawyer if you have one. It seems like a stretch though, that an officer would suspect or catch you on such a trivial lie. You could also just keep it vague: "I heard from a lawyer once that..."
Personally, I lean on "it makes me uncomfortable", which has the virtue of being both unfalsifiable and true.
(Side note: I wish I had a polite answer to "where are you headed tonight?", which is a question I don't feel I should be obligated to answer, but could turn the conversation hostile to refuse directly.)
- gyepi 13y agoThe less you say, the better. You don't have to explain yourself. > I wish I had a polite answer to "where are you headed tonight?" "I prefer not to answer" or "I'd rather not say" are both quite polite. If the questions persist, you can always say you'd prefer to answer questions in the presence of your attorney, which you should do anyway.
