That's right. You have the right to remain silent but like most rights, you can waive it. My dad was a defense lawyer and that was always his biggest piece of advice: "Keep your friggin' pie hole shut!"
In tax cases, there is an old axiom: R+C=J. Records+Cooperation=Jail. Keep your mouth shut. Don't help them with their investigation into you. Cops themselves follow this advice to the "T" when they get accused of wrong-doing. If they're smart, they lawyer-up and shut-up right away. They know better than anyone how people convict themselves.
