You Have the Right to Remain Innocent is a 2016 non-fiction book by James Joseph Duane, a legal professor, published by Little A Books. It explains his belief why under almost all circumstances citizens should not talk to the police. He emphasizes that police officers tell their own children to never speak with the police.[1]
