Denver, CO criminal defense attorney David Lindsey talks what to do if the CO police want to interview you. He explains that in nearly every case, when law enforcement contacts someone and seeks to interview them, it is crucial not to engage in conversation with the police without the presence of a lawyer. Anything you say to the police with a lawyer present can be said without one. The reason I emphasize that police contact nearly everyone is because it is a strategy employed by law enforcement. They contact individuals knowing that people often feel compelled to share their side of the story. However, it is important to understand that when the police claim they want to hear your side of the story before making a decision, it is often not the genuine intention. Their objective may be to obtain a full confession, or if that is not possible, they seek to extract information that contradicts the evidence they possess. They can then exploit these inconsistencies to strengthen their case or advance their investigation.
