Re: Fraternazation
No one who might face criminal charges should ever, ever talk to law enforcement without an attorney present. If approached, she should say only, "I want an attorney" which stops any questioning. She should not go anywhere with any law enforcement personnel unless actually under arrest, and she should never sign anything admit anything or consent to a search no matter what. She should consult a lawyer as soon as possible. If she is a union member she should consult her union rep.
