Q: Could I just say that i had permission to use a person's car ?
I was seen on surveillance taking my friends step dads car .. I was under the influence to be honest .. Xanax I borrowed the car for maybe 45 minutes and had it returned before the owner of the vehicle knew .. Or the police with no damages couldn't I just say that I was given permission to use it to go to town .. And get 10.00 for gas for my own personal vehicle .. And it would be my word against there's ?? I also have priors one but am on differed adjudicated out of another county.. But am pretty close to being done with that probation .. But the person I took it from is a 5 time convicted felon with priors of uumvs
A: Now that you made a confession on social media, it's going to be real tough to make anything else up (law enforcement monitor these sites). If contacted by the police, do not give any statement and get with your lawyer ASAP. Good luck.

A: You should not make any statements to law enforcement until you have a private consultation with your criminal defense attorney.
