However, you are always best advised to retain a lawyer in case you are charged or arrested. It's also important to not talk about this case to anyone except your attorney. Please remember anything you say can and will be used against you. The problem is that an officer can misunderstand what you said or not write down everything. Often it is what THEY THOUGHT THEY HEARD YOU SAY that hurts you. You never want to admit to anything.
You should consider retaining a lawyer and then remain quiet and let the lawyer be the strawman and take the heat. In other words, you would be happy to talk but your lawyer has ordered you “not to talk without his permission”. Suggest they talk to your lawyer for permission for you to talk with them. I never let my clients talk to anyone.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO TALK TO ANYONE YOURSELF. IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD A LAWYER A PUBLIC DEFENDER WILL BE APPT'D FOR YOU.
AS A RULE, THE COURTS WILL NOT TRANSFER FROM ONE COUNTY TO ANOTHER OR ONE STATE TO ANOTHER.
BAIL IS SET WHEN A DEFENDANT IS IN COURT AND HIS/HER ATTORNEY ARGUES FOR A LESSER AMOUNT OIF BAIL OR OR RELEASE.
