i hope i am wrong, but once you are arrested, your vehicle can then be searched. in my case i assumed they would search and wanted to be honest in case they found the pistol. i should have declined to answer the question entirely. had i said no and they found it, it probably wouldnt have mattered that i lied. but there is a great possibility that they would NOT have found it, there is the possibility that they didnt even search the vehicle.
i have a friend that is in law enforcement, and because i trust him and believe that he is a good person, i translated that to all cops. that was a BIG mistake.
those videos are very good, do not ever talk to a cop. even when you are a victim of a crime, your words are distorted. cops are people, and most people hear what they want to hear, they add little details that werent there, or they fail to remember your exact words. it has happened to me when i was the victim in an assault, i was treated like the criminal. my oral statements were not recorded, and were taken out of context. bottom line is you cant trust anyone to accurately remember what was said, and NO ONE is looking out for you, except YOU.
