For those touting the video, here's a nice one, "The court also ruled that police can continue to ask questions even after a suspect has invoked the right to silence."

From yahoo.ca

So now you tell me how the video helps. Even if you choose not to talk they can continue to question you. Until they decide to stop. Good luck with that.

From the posted article, "He was later interviewed by police for about five hours, and he stated five times during the questioning that he wanted his lawyer present. The officer advised Sinclair he did not have the right to a lawyer and eventually Sinclair implicated himself in Grice’s death."

It seems to indicate they can browbeat you all they want.

Also, one argument seems to ride on that in the US law enforcement was abusing their position and it still happens, but in Canada it won't.
