If you are ever questioned by LE of any kind, it’s probably best to immediately and clearly invoke your 6th Amendment right to counsel.
Typo ? 5th
6th is speedy trial/voi dire
Read the text before you correct someone. The last clause…
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Also, see Gideon v. Wainwright.
