This is longtime Cato Daily podcast host, Caleb Brown. I've hosted the Cato Daily podcast for nearly

18 years, but no more. But I wanted to leave loyal listeners with some favorite episodes that I hope

ring true and relevant to our current moment. This is one of them. Thank you for listening.

This is the Cato Daily podcast for Thursday, November 3rd, 2016. I'm Caleb Brown. You should never talk to the police. No, not in that situation. And no, not in that case either. That's the message from James Dwayne, professor of law at Regent University and author of the new book, You Have the right to remain innocent. In that book,

he describes the advice that lawyers and cops give to their own children, which has never

talked to the police. We spoke last month. What you have to say comes as no surprise to libertarians

throughout the country, many of whom came to know the case that you make

in this book through the video that became so popular.

I personally have shared it a bunch of times.

And my friends who are criminal defense attorneys share it all over the place.

But even for people who understand what their rights are and are clear on it and are

almost itching for the opportunity to assert those rights, there still is a desire to help

the police solve crimes.

And the biggest impediment in my head is, well, yeah, I would like to help the police solve crimes.

And I would like to cooperate with them in their attempt to legitimately put bad people behind bars.

And, of course, the title of your book is you have the right to remain innocent. The title of the video, which I'm sure you did not select, was don't talk to the police

or never talk to the police.

So let's reconcile that.

Sure, yes.

You're right about, by the way, about your assumption.

The famous video that is on YouTube has been given multiple titles and none of them

were selected by me.
