I understand a Cop's desire to have potential prisoners talk to them. As I understand the system the large majority of it's success is the ability to get people to plead guilty. In fact I could imagine the system grid-locking if everyone the state imprisoned actually had a full trial first. The system works because we threaten to dish out much more harsh treatment to crooks who actually force the system to prove their guilt rather than them admitting to it.
This whole process begins with getting a potential prisoner talking to a cop and giving him something to go on.
The only reason a cop would talk to you is to see if there is some way to put you in a cage or extort money for the state. That is their job. That is what they do.
If you really believe you have nothing to hide if you've done nothing wrong you are naive. You must also believe no one has been imprisoned for a crime they did not do.
Everything in your posting is 100% correct. The more a person says to the police, the more you will lose.
Remember that 5th amendment is just as important as the 2nd. To qoute those wise words from Hans Schultz "I see nothing! I hear nothing! I know nothing!
