"Just tell the truth and everything's going to be fine." Good or bad advice? If you're a follower of this channel, you already know I'm going to say that's bad advice.

You always tell the truth in front of a judge or a jury, but there's a time to tell your story and it's not on the roadside. There's 19 ways to tell a story and you've got to know just the right way to tell the story. What's important is that you tell your story the right way and in front of the right people who matter. And that's not on the roadside with this cop. That's in a courtroom, sitting by your lawyer in front of a judge or a jury. That's where it matters.
