Is it really “anything” and how will it be used? Never thought about it, but it sounds kind of strange.

In America, cops have to warn you before questioning you that if you talk to them, prosecution can use what you say to them against you in court; and it can *only* be used against you. If you tell your story to a cop and he says that he believes you and doesn’t think you’re guilty but they still have to go through the charges; that cannot be used to help you and your case. Even the most seemingly innocuous statements can be used to establish motive, a timetable of your movements, etc. Since any statements you make to police cannot be used to help you it’s best not to say anything to police and only talk to an attorney.
