I like his comment, things on my phone might incriminate me. duh.
kyle R handed his phone over voluntarily, no warrant. HE had nothing to hide.

Repeat after me. The police are not your friends. They want to close the case. They are not interested in finding 'truth'. Their job is to make a case and present to the DA.
The courts find 'truth'.
Do not talk to the police. Period.
First question: Am I under arrest or am I free to go? REPEAT until answered. The police will deflect for as long as possible.
If told you are under arrest then you invoke your 5th amendment right and ask for a lawyer and SHUT UP.
We have an adversarial judicial system. It works pretty well. So DO NOT HAND IT OVER TO THE POLICE. let them do their job.
It is not a matter of 'hiding' anything. It is a matter of you hanging yourself. You will NEVER talk your way out of anything with the police.
