Defense attorney co sign.

You make your attorneys job harder when you speak to the cops.

They will say you’ll get a shorter sentence if you cooperate. You won’t.

They will encourage you to reveal things once you’re at a grand jury. Don’t.

They will bring in other ‘not cops’ like a social workers, therapist, expert. Keep your mouth shut.

Talking never ever works. This has been studied again and again. For one example, read up on The Green Scare: https://crimethinc.com/2008/02/22/green-scared

I quote

“The Green Scare cases show that cooperating with the government is never in a defendant’s best interest. On average, the non-cooperating defendants in Operation Backfire are actually serving less time in proportion to their original threatened sentences than the informants.”

You’re not fake simply because you act differently depending on the person you’re with. Different personalities bring out different aspects of your personality. You’re complex and multidimensional; it’s beautiful.

in anthropology this is called “code switching” and it is a completely natural thing that pretty much everyone does.

Aka. This is called being an adult and learning how to interact with different groups of people.

My accent varies wildly depending on the social situation I’m in. It’s not a conscious thing, but, yes, it’s part of being a grown up and a basic survival instinct.
