Roth(Cop) approached the passenger's side window of a silver Honda Civic. The driver stared straight ahead. Roth prompted him to lower the window.

The potent smell of marijuana smoke assaulted Roth the moment the window began to drop. Roth peered inside. He noticed the driver was wearing a blue polo shirt bearing the logo of Cox Communications, a national telecommunications company. He also wore a nametag

"Jay from Cox," Roth said,"I am Officer Roth of the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police Department. The reason we are stopping people this morning is to inform them of a fatal hit-and-run accident that occurred yesterday. We are hoping the public can help us with information that might solve this case." Roth noted that Jay still would not meet his gaze.

"Did you happen to be in the area yesterday," Roth asked.

Jay looked up. The whites of his eyes were nearly magenta, the lids half closed. "Naw man. Hey, am I free to go, bro?"

Roth's own eyes narrowed. "You're not. Hand me your license and registration, then step out of the car."

"What? Why, bro," Jay asked.

"STEP OUT OF THE CAR, NOW," Roth barked. Jay complied. Roth pressed him face-first against the cold metal of the Civic.

"Interlace your fingers behind your back," Roth commanded. Jay did as he was told."Do you have any weapons on you? Anything that could stick me?

"Naw man," Jay replied

"A search of Jay's pockets produced a large glass pipe with what appeared to be marijuana residue

"Were you smoking this reefer just now," Roth asked.

"I plead the Fifth, cop," Jay responded.

"Answer the question," Roth demanded.

"Alright, man, yeah. Yeah. I smoke before work. Helps the day go by.

With that, Roth removed his handcuffs from their holder and placed them on Jay's wrists. "You're under arrest for suspicion of driving under the influence of narcotics, in violation of Washington, D.C. law."

That afternoon, Jay sat in an interrogation room, alone. A wall clock ticked loudly. Other than a bare metal table and three chairs, the room was empty.

If you are a Jay, How can you defend yourself?
