Good advice all around...

If you're ever busted for a felony, wait for your lawyer and let him earn his billable hours.

What about 'Man on Street'? Pulled over for speeding a bit, or walking down a boardwalk after leaving the bar and the cop thinks you may be a bit too hammered, do you really want to be confrontational and invoke 5th amendment protection? Judge each situation as you come to it, best advice I can shoot most of you is if you do have to talk to the police, keep it as short as you possibly can. If the cuffs come out, thats definitely time to shut up, but don't start out by shooting yourself in the foot.

Edit: More good advice, you heard the cop say people are stupid yeah?

DON'T BE STUPID! Always good advice.
