Alcohol, a curious hypothetical situation...

[ARV]

How would the police know you were drinking? Unless you were completely shitfaced, they would probably not know unless you told them. Even if they smelled it and asked you if you had been drinking, you should not be answering questions anyway. If you ever shoot someone in self defense, you should simply say "I am the homeowner / renter (whatever) and This person illegally entered my home and I was in fear for my life. With all due respect, I have nothing else to say until I speak with a lawyer." If they ask you any other questions pertaining to the shooting, stick to your guns and say you would be happy to answer all of their questions after consulting with an attorney. Leave it at that.

After you make your request for a lawyer, all questioning should stop.

Only the guilty need lawyers.

If you've done nothing wrong, then you'll help clear up the situation be telling the Officers what happened.

You can make it go away faster if you let them look around.

The police are your friends.

This whole subject would be the farthest thing from my mind during a home invasion.

Sarcastic of course. Don't want anyone to read it literally!!

Spoken like a defense attorney!




And a correct one, too.
