Use your judgement. YMMV.


This obvious comment doesn't answer whether lying/saying nothing can add charges or not.


Say nothing except to ask for council. You cannot be charged for asking for a lawyer. Google "Don't talk to the police" and watch the first YouTube video of the lawyer and the police officer both telling you the same thing.

Heck, they should play that video for kids in middle and high school right along with their DARE and Sex Ed.

The YMMV refers to situations such as this: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7WEcpLi7kB4 Exercising your rights is never the easiest path but never, never let yourself be interrogated by the police. You are not required to allow yourself to be questioned, and there is absolutely no possible way being questioned can ever help you. Get a lawyer, the police can talk to them.
