Yeah, all of my posts were about police interrogations of suspects, not witness interviews. After reading back a few posts, I realized that my posts were not exactly relevant in that a witness interview was what was being discussedpeetzakilla said:
. I got caught up in the general drift toward off-topic. Yeah, police have families, I am a member of a police officer's family. He's my father and he is a great guy. So no, if you are the witness to any crime and not under investigation, you don't really need a lawyer, you just need to tell the truth. Again, I was under the impression that we were discussing an interrogation of a suspect, not a witness interview. The objective of police is not to lock up witnesses. They don't want to do anything that discourages witnesses to speak up. Witnesses help their case, or at least their investigation, so locking up witnesses does not help them at all.

I'm far from correct all the time, some of that drives me crazy! (my wife says it's a short trip).
