Ain't no cop legally required to act in your best interests

    I think if you have the name of a lawyer that's sufficient. They might call your lawyer for you. In the US at least. In Canada you'll just call a hotline that will tell you to say "I have been instructed not to answer that question" and then they can still interrogate you.

    And in the rest of the world idk. In most countries you get something similar to those two models.

    As for private conversations, your lawyer has been doing this for years and even if the cops still manage to record your convo with the lawyer, that's something your lawyer knows about already and will advise you properly on the spot. Dw.

    But yeah, your best bet regardless during interrogation is to say "I have been instructed not to answer that question" to anything they ask past what you are legally obligated to tell them. You also don't have to sign anything they present you with, even the transcript from your own interrogation you can refuse to sign that.
