Now, I stumbled on something interesting today that I'd never heard before: a compelling argument why NOT to immediately talk to the police during an ongoing investigation. This is basically contrary to anything you may have ever heard before, but from a legal standpoint, it makes perfect sense. No use incriminating yourself because of your ignorance when you're completely innocent. I'm not saying it's good to stonewall the authorities, but from a constitutional standpoint, exercising your Fifth Amendment rights is probably a good idea.
Also interesting is the response from a police officer which... basically say he's right.
