I'm not from the US either, and this is about their legal system I think. Whether they need to change this is up to them.
This attorney seems to think the Fifth is enough, but people don't know they can use it. He doesn't think cops are bad, where did you get this idea?
> So maybe let me refine my question, what if it is your neighbors child, you know closely or even your own child. You still would not talk to the cops, out of the fear that they wrongly suspect you and have a dead child on your consciousness?
Yes, that's the advice. You shouldn't talk to the cops without a lawyer even in this case, lest you end up implicated in a crime. If you want to talk, lawyer up!
The attorney speaks from experience and he is an expert. The cop next to him agrees; in fact most cops recommend their children never to talk to cops! If you ever live in the US, ignore this advice at your own peril.
