You Have the Right to Remain Innocent

You Have the Right to Remain Innocent is a 2016 non-fiction book by James Duane, a legal professor, published by Little A Books. It explains his belief why under almost all circumstances citizens should not talk to the police. He emphasizes that police officers tell their own children to never speak with the police. Background It stems from a lecture he gave to a law class that was uploaded onto YouTube. Contents He argues that because of Salinas v. Texas, the fact that someone has asserted the Fifth Amendment can be used as evidence against them in court, so he suggests criminal defendants and interrogatees instead invoke the Sixth Amendment, the right to legal counsel.
