Comment on Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"?

TV shows and propaganda in the US have for decades shown you that " if you have nothing to hide then you don’t need a lawyer" and unfortunately that is demonstrably false. Police are expert interrogators and you alone have a very low chance of getting anything across.

And now with for profit prisons it makes sense to get you in jail rather than help you know your rights and protect you.
