What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oklahoma
Without divulging too much information. I was recently cited and given a notice to appear to a municipal court for a minor misdemeanor charge. I have sought legal advice, and told that it was in my best interest to take what is known as a defferred sentence.
As far as I am aware, I may at some point in the future be detained for questioning regarding the activities of an associate. The associate is currently under investigation for numerous felonies at the county level. I have reason to believe that police may threaten me with further charges during this questioning. I understand that police may in fact charge me if they feel the need to, but that the charge will not hold up in a court of law. I fully intend to maintain that I am innocent, upon further review I believe that police may have charged with the misdemeanor as further leverage to testify against this associate.
What is the best way to respond upon being detained for police questioning for questioning regarding said activities. Saying that I am more than willing to cooperate if no further charges are levied against me, and perhaps seeing if my minor misdemeanor can be dropped. I am more than willing to cooperate without a lawyer but first do not wish to get any more parties involved while not accidentally make incriminating statements about myself. (or informally put, I know I can not fight the misdemeanor charge, please drop it and do not charge me further, and I will fully cooperate with you and give any information I have, and I want to do this without wasting anyone's time). I am more than willing to even cooperate with the agreement to not face further charges.
