Hypothetically speaking

(anyone can answer, but I’m more interested in those with skepticism towards authorities)

    So, just for people reading this, it’s actually not legal to interrogate people that long. Cops rely on you not knowing your rights. The best thing you can do is demand a lawyer and shut the fuck up

    Generally, they must get a warrant to arrest you; or put you in front of a judge for a probable cause hearing (ostensibly within 48 hours of arrest.).

    Once you ask for a lawyer, the interrogation is supposed to end until one is provided. If they keep asking questions, keep asking for a lawyer and say nothing else. And remember, cops are allowed to lie about things.

    So ask for a lawyer and shut the fuck up.
