When your free dial-a-lawyer, whose experience you are unsure of, tells you not to talk to the police without counsel present, don't talk to the police without counsel present.
Hell, when the articling student tells you not to talk to the police without counsel present, don't talk to the police without counsel present.
When the law student working for the University of Ottawa Free Legal Clinic tells you not to talk to the police without counsel present, don't talk to the police without counsel present!
When your mom, who has watched a lot of Law & Order, tells you not to talk to the police without counsel present, don't talk to the police without counsel present!!
