Philip D. Cave is a military defense lawyer in Alexandria, VA, who has been practicing military law exclusively since 1979. Mr. Cave has written an article "Your Rights" to help Service Members and military family members understand their legal rights when dealing with military law enforcement (NCIS, CID, OSI, CGIS, MP, SP MAA.).
Too often Service Members get their legal advice from a "barracks lawyer" instead of an actual attorney who understands military law. (https://www.court-martial.com/your-rights.html)
Reading Mr. Cave's article can help you understand and protect your legal rights. Unfortunately the links from the article to the Air Force FOIA page are broken, but the rest of the article is definitely worth reading.
Professor Christopher Slobogin's paper "Deceit, Pretext, and Trickery: Investigative Lies By the Police" mentioned in the article can be found in the Oregon Law Review, 1997. Although several years old, Professor Slobogin's article is also worth reading to help understand law enforcement interviews and interrogations.
James Duane, law professor at the Regent University School of Law, former criminal defense attorney, and Fifth Amendment expert also has an excellent video presentation on YouTube about dealing with the police.
Of course you should always consult with an attorney directly who can review the specific facts involved in your case and advise you on the best courses of action. But to retain your rights you must first understand your rights.
