That said, the BIG mistake this guy made was that he agreed to let the police interview him without his lawyer being present.
Odds are very, very high that you will be fucked if you ever agree to such an interview.

Part 2 of the video is also worth watching. This is a follow-up talk by a veteran cop turned law student. He explains how police psychology works during interrogations. People think they can out-think the police, but 99.8% of the time they lose. Solution: Don't talk to police.
