You only have the right to remain silent, the right to a lawyer, etc. after you are arrested. But, before you are arrested, they cannot make you talk. You can sit there and not say a word and there is not a whole lot they can do. As we saw with Martha Stewart, it pretty much is seemingly best to refuse to answer any questions without counsel present. AND - the Fourth Amend. rt. against illegal search and seizure has been dying for years, unfortunately IMO.
