What you say can't be used in your favor. It can only be used against you. And if you are innocent, then it's the police who are wasting society's time (though I am not sure what that means) and they can wait a bit longer when it comes to making sure justice is done properly and not incompetently rushed.

And in the UK, what you don't say can be used against you.

Is it accurate to say that it actually can't be used in your favor, or that it simply won't be?
