I think Doug has it. When you meet the officers tell them what it's in your interest for them to know.
At the interview stage; shut up till you have a lawyer there.
Like the videos said I've never known anyone in an interview room talk themselves out of trouble.
The videos don't clearly distinguish between the intial meeting with the police and the interview stage.
But spending a week in a cell because you refused to say 'no he lives next door' is silly.
Sorry you got lumbered with the adversial court system Doug. Britains worst contribution to it's former colonies!
