None of us like it when we get bad mouth for doing what we do(scrappig) but you all are first to bad mouth a police officer for doing his job. If your not doing anything wrong then you have nothing to worrry about. End of rant.

I think you may be mistaken: "Please be advised that if you do answer questions before being arrested, your statements may be used as evidence during trial."
