Most criminal convictions are obtained by the government through confessions and other statements of the accused. Without these statements, most convictions would never happen.

What do you do when police place you in handcuffs?
Immediately ask for an attorney and refuse to answer any questions. Do not initiate conversation. Do not say a word. Become a mute.
2
What if you can explain your innocence?
You are kidding yourself. It will never happen. The only things the police will remember, write-down or record are things that hurt your case. You are only building a case against yourself and asking for prison. Ask to speak to an attorney.

What if the police say they have enough evidence already and you can help yourself out?
This is complete nonsense.
POLICE ARE ALLOWED TO LIE TO GET YOU TO CONFESS.
POLICE ARE ALLOWED TO LIE TO GET YOU TO CONFESS.
That is not a typo, I am saying it twice. Ask for an attorney.

What if police say the charges will be lowered if you cooperate?
Police do not lower charges, only prosecutors do. They are lying. Ask for a lawyer. If they are really trying to help you, they can wait until you have a lawyer.
5
What if the police say you will only get a lawyer once you are arrested and arraigned?
Ask for a lawyer. Go ahead and get arrested.
