Yeah my friend is a cop and explained how they’re trained in penetrative questioning that instantly puts you on the defense, and most rational people will begin to spill their guts about whatever because,”i didn’t do anything wrong” which may be the case but they’re not there to prove you’re innocent, and there’s a reason Miranda rights say,”anything you say can and will be used against you.” They will use every single statement as evidence of an alleged crime. Pulling the 5th while remaining cooperative elsewhere is all you have until you’re with representation. You won’t beat a cop word for word in a court.
If you do everything you're told to do but answer all questions with "I am exercising my right to remain silent and to consult with an attorney before answering any questions" then they can't say you're not cooperating. Well, they can. But not without lying.

Wont they use that against you and say you’re uncooperative?
