A long time ago,
I was using a source out of so. CA he was the best I had found and I loved dealing with him, I sent him much business if you know what I mean. Then one day out of the blue a DEA agent and a plain clothed officer showed up at my business and right when the agent saw me he knew that he wasn't dealing with a meth user (260 and kinda lean).
He started asking me all kinds of questions and of course he let on like he knew all about my dealings with CA and he was ready to arest me in front of all my employees and customers.
Well after a few discovery questions I knew he did'nt know sh*t and it was time for me to have fun (risky but, I have the money so what the hell).
He said if I tell him all I know he would not arrest me and I said I do not speak unless I have a lawyer present he said if I want to play that way he would arrest me now to hurt my business. I told him I wanted to talk to my wife and get her advice so I called her in and had him expalin what he had said to me, then I looked at her and said, what the nice gentleman is offering me is the right to let him deprive me of counsel by forcing me talk with no counsel present and in doing so I may incrimate myself.
At this time I pulled myself to a standing position (over his 150 lb frame) and said well with of this in mind I do not want to speak to you and I do want my lawyer and I'm sure he will like the fact ,as well as any judge, that he was not allowing me my right to counsel and anything from this point he will have to get on his own.
The next day I did put a high dollar lawdog on retainer and have had one ever since, I did the right thing a little stupid cause the DEA can cause you plenty of trouble unless you catch them trying to bend the law on their side.
