When the FBI approached a Crystal Lake residence on Silk Oak Lane east of Terra Cotta Road that was foreclosed on late last year, that's not necessarily front-page news.
When agents pull a gun on a visiting realtor and handcuff her, that is news.
What was happening there yesterday? When did the Crystal Lake P.D. learn of it?
Our tax dollars hard at work, right?
You didn't see this one in the paper this morning, did you? But you probably did read about the sting, when the FBI arrested a Lake in the Hills man for possessing TTX and then allegedly continued to question him and make promises, in spite of his requests for an attorney.
"Just answer our questions and we'll let you go home." Yeah, sure.
If you are ever stopped by a police officer and hear that one, it's time to shut up. Remember your rights.
From the American Bar Association:
"Police generally read these rights to individuals about to be questioned in custody. 'You have the right to remain silent. If you give up the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you desire an attorney and cannot afford one, an attorney will be obtained for you before police questioning.' "
Is it time to print those rights and put them in your wallet with your driver's license?
You never know who is interested…
