> Let's say they arrest me, put me in a room and try to interrogate me for a few hours before a lawyer shows up. Even if the only words out of my mouth the entire time are "I would like to speak to a lawyer please", what stops the Police from saying I said something else entirely?
Their conscience about committing perjury. Nothing else.
But it's a bit more nuanced than that, because even if each one of the people in the room (aside from you) are willing to commit perjury, each one has to be convinced that each of the others is also willing to commit perjury.
