I had a Deputy come to my house and ask me if I knew why he was there. I had no clue. He said I had a woman say I had forced her to touch my penis (it didn't happen). He said he had a few questions for me and I replied, "I do not talk to police officers without an Attorney present". He said if I did not talk to him and answer questions right now, he would arrest me. He told me his story and I said I don't want to be arrested so I'll tell you that it never happened. I again said I wanted an Attorney. He continued to question me but I would not answer, so he arrested me. He did have his body camera on so his threats are on camera. After he arrested me and put me in handcuffs, he then read me the Miranda warning. I did not talk to him after the arrest. It is a he-said, she-said case with absolutely no evidence. Did this Cop violate my 5th Amendment rights by threatening arrest if I did not talk to him, and then arrested me after I asked for an attorney?
