During the interrogation... he asked the police to check it.

That's the scary part of the story, all right. Perhaps it's time to repost a surprisingly useful BoingBoing link:

Attention Conservation Notice: The theme of this video, in free-verse form, is:

Don't talk to the police.

Don't talk to the police.

That's what lawyers are for.

The Fifth Amendment is your friend.

Don't talk to the police.

If you don't just nod when you read this you really need to watch the video.

An excellent question. I'd love to see the equivalent of this argument for other countries, just out of curiosity. Any Canadian lawyers in the house?
