The Supreme Court ruling that anchors one of the POP phrases. Plain-English summary below, with the precise phrase to invoke and when to use it.
Any custodial (post-arrest) questioning. Even on a routine traffic stop, invoking the right preserves it. Once you ask for a lawyer, all questioning must stop until your attorney is present.
The Supreme Court held that statements made during custodial interrogation are admissible only if the suspect was first informed of the right to remain silent and the right to counsel, and knowingly waived those rights. Invoking the right to remain silent or the right to counsel stops the questioning.
