    He doesn’t even need a lawyer. As long as he gets a jury trial he could plead his own case and get acquited. No one wants these things hovering over their property.

          What do you say when the cops first pull you over? “Why’d you pull me over?”

          And when they start asking questions? “I’m not discussing my day.”

          And if they keep asking questions? “Am I being detained, or am I free to go?”

          And if detained, what do you say? “I invoke the fifth.”

          And then what do you do??

            Shut the fuck up.

            Yep, that’s what you do. Don’t answer questions.

            If they were going to arrest you, they’ve already made that decision and there’s nothing you can do about it. Let it get settled in court.

      Lawyers know courtroom procedure. The defendant may have a valid argument but navigating the court process really does take an attorney.
