        Which the court has decided is not invoking your right to an attorney. The cop “can be reasonably confused” that you meant you want a lawyer dog, which you have no right to and they have no obligation to allow for.

        Just like Harry Potter, you have to speak the incantations correctly or your rights may be violated. Similarly, speaking after invoking your right to remain silent breaks the silence, so ask for your attorney, then invoke your right to remain silent, then STFU.
