LAWYER: The ONLY 3 Things to Say After Self-Defense
If you ever have to defend yourself, the most dangerous part might not be the attack… it’s what happens right after when the police arrive.
In this video, Attorney Marc Lopez breaks down the ONLY 3 things you should say to police after a self-defense incident and what you should never say in the heat of the moment, even if you’re telling the truth.
After a violent encounter, your body is flooded with adrenaline. Your memory can be distorted, your timeline can get scrambled, and even innocent inconsistencies can be used against you later. That’s why talking too much can turn a survivable situation into a criminal case that follows you for years.
✅ The 3-Statement Protocol (Memorize This)
1️⃣ “Officer, I am the victim.”
2️⃣ “That person attacked me.” (and point out evidence/witnesses)
3️⃣ “I want to cooperate, but I will not answer questions without my lawyer.”
Then stop talking.
This isn’t about being rude. This is about protecting your rights and protecting your future.

What would you say if the police showed up after you defended yourself? 👇 Drop your thoughts or questions in the comments — Marc reads and replies! (At least he tries)
But the HOGS are given plenty of time to get their LIES together with each other! And with attorneys who's specialty practice is to teach HOGS how to LIE !
Absolutely true. I was involved in an obviously clear self defense case and it was a nightmare for 9 months. And I did most all of these things recommended

"“Where Did You Get That shirt? It’s Awful! And Those Shoes and That Coat! Jeez!”
In Canada are all those able to be used as in the US

Anyone else taking notes?!
Thanks Marc, appreciate all you do!
As a Buckeye fan. You sir are my favorite "Hoosier" 😁 Love your channel man!

Would almost rather take a beating
Nice looking outfit, Marc.
Excellent advice, thanks Marc !
Solid advice but do you think asking to go to the hospital somewhere in number 3 would be a good idea?
You can't just stay silent. You have to invoke your 5th and 6th amendments, right? Silence is compliance.
What happens after you say the 3 statements? What if the police don't want to give you any time to breathe and settle down?
