If you are under investigation for a crime, you DO NOT discuss the allegations over the phone or via text or any electronic message (WhatsApp, Telegram, social media direct or private messages, etc...).
Police agencies may be working hand-in-hand with people whom you believe may be your friends, or even family members. The police agencies will setup what is known as a "controlled call" or a "controlled text" whereby the investigator is directing the friend or family member of the subject to call them or send them a message.
The purpose of this is to get the subject to make some incriminating statement that can be used as evidence to arrest and prosecute the subject.
When you are under investigation for a crime, you have no friends. You have no confidantes. You have only your criminal defense attorney.
Your lawyer is the only human being on the planet with whom you should discuss your case.
