The way I understand it, that is the point; you have to verbally tell them you invoke your right to be silent and/or request an attorney. Your rights are not automatically granted until you state such. And if you start talking again, you have waived your right that you have just declared; hence you have to state your right to remain silent and/or request an attorney again.
The cops will continue to ask you questions repeatedly and if you answer even one, you have waved your rights.
We have discussed these issues before, but now to have the SCOTUS to uphold the lesser requirement by the cops, just makes it so we have to be more cautious and vigilant about not talking to cops.
So bottom line...same as usual...invoke your rights and....SHUT UP!
