LAWYER: When Cops Say "You're Not Under Arrest, Just Come With Us" — Say THIS First

When a police officer looks at you and says "you are not under arrest, just come with us" — almost every person does the same thing. They go. Because not under arrest sounds like good news. It sounds like the officer is being reasonable. It sounds like cooperating now will make everything faster and easier and less serious than it would be if they refused.
