They can’t force you to produce a lawyer on the spot, and they can’t force you to call one in front of them. Your conversations with lawyers are secret and the police aren’t allowed to know anything about what you talk about. They have to reschedule the interview.

You don’t. You tell them you won’t be talking to them without a lawyer, and they have to drop it until you find one. They can’t demand that you magically produce a lawyer on the spot.

I'm with you on all of that, but that's not what the person I'm replying to is saying. They're saying that the subject of the article might be a bad guy so he probably deserves what's happening to him.

I'm not just saying it, I've done it. Someone else in this thread has too.

Do you really not get how what you're saying is 180° from principles of due process, equal protection, and freedom of speech?

> Is this the case of someone guilty getting 25 years in jail for not wanting to snitch?

This is an absolutely disgusting suggestion.

Probably would’ve still been harassed and wound up on the no-fly list, but yes, if the FBI tricks you into meeting them, walk away.
