It’s a legally required reminder that no matter what you say, it will be used to fuck you over, and you shouldn’t speak a word except “I want a lawyer”. Otherwise, you might do some of the, but not limited to, the following: give statements that the cops interpret to be inconsistent and conflicting, speculate on the events in a way that makes you look guilty, put yourself on the scene of the crime, make a statement that is very open to interpretation, accidentally confess to a different crime you’re not even suspected of – there’s no limit to the stupid things you can do by accident.
The interrogator will try to find a way to use literally every word out of your mouth against you, and you never know what dangerous things you might say. Youtube is full of geniuses who thought they could bluff their ways out of the room, or convince the cops they’re innocent, and it rarely ends well.
