* ArtisticLicenseLaw: The police question Teasdale, who tells them to solely contact him through his lawyer. Later, the police record him giving a bribe to another woman, and they arrest him for bribery. However, the bribery confession is thrown out because Teasdale had said "only contact me through my lawyer". As demonstrated by the page, that line does not apply to police officers; a person may not invoke their right to counsel on any ''future questioning'' by the police. The police had every right to deceive the suspect without [[MirandaRights Mirandizing]] him, provided that they did not coerce the statements.
