Attorney Mitchell's Opinions On Law Enforcement:
Never talk to the Police without a lawyer present.
Never Trust the Police, without a lawyer present.
Never try to help the Police, without a lawyer involved.
Never Trust Government Prosecutors, without a lawyer involved.
Police Officers and Prosecutors lie all the time in order to make arrests and get convictions.
Millions of innocent people have been arrested and gone to jail!
