I'm curious. Suppose someone you love is abducted, and the police arrive minutes after the adbuction and can probably catch the abductors if they start the chase immediately...but although there were many witnesses not a single one will tell the police which direction the abductors ran, or what kind of car they drove, or the license number without talking to a lawyer first, because they watched that video.
Would you continue to recommend it?
And yes, a surprisingly large number of people who watch it say that in the above circumstances, they would wait for a lawyer before saying "the kidnappers drove north".
That's an emergency, one of the few times when you should say enough for them to be able to execute an immediate action; specially if you care about such action being performed. Further unrelated questioning should be avoided under the pretense that you need to talk with a lawyer.
Good. Glad to see there is some common sense here. The last couple of times this came up, some said even in an emergency you should stay silent, because for example if you tell the police the kidnappers drove north in a white Honda, and it later turns out you were mistaken (it was a cream Toyota and they drove northwest), you might be suspected of being an accomplice purposefully misdirecting the police!
