Just FYI for the misinformed or under informed. You have rights. And your attorney doesnt have to be bar certified and you can have anyone act as a representative or power of attorney if you feel like you dont understand what is going on. Police will and do take advantage of situations like this and abuse their authority. I respect the law when it is done appropriately, but the law has a set of guidelines to follow as well. When Im asked to act as a representative during a search of a vehicle and an officer refuses the request he is in violation of civil code. This is a law too... So next time you feel pushed around try not to be intimidated and repeat this phrase. You are then protected by the law of the land. I refuse to consent to any search of my premises. The location of my arrest, my car or effects. I wish to exercise my rights under the fifth and sixth amendments to remain silent and to have my attorney present during any questioning or lineup. If you ignore my exercise of these rights and attempt to procure a waiver I wish to confer with my attorney prior to any conversation with law enforcement agents on the subject of waiver.
