No. While you should be polite and calm, you should always contact an experienced criminal defense attorney before agreeing to speak with the police. It is important to remember the following: -The police may not be interested in taking your whole story into account—they are likely interested only in any information that can be used to implicate you in a crime, as investigations are costly and everyone involved is usually under pressure to produce results in the form of an arrest, -You have a constitutional right to remain silent to avoid implicating yourself in a crime and you have the right to an attorney, -Asking to speak with an attorney first is in no way an admission of guilt and cannot be used against you, -Even if you are not a suspect in a crime, remember that the law enforcement officials who will question you are highly trained in getting information from their subjects—you may implicate yourself in a crime even if you were not previously the suspect.
