Man is questioned by police for hours. When the questions turn hostile,
he says he needs a lawyer. They keep on questioning him. Then he's
arrested on outstanding warrants and they keep on questioning him.
>
Many hours later, he confesses to a terrible crime.
>
At trial, the unconstitutionally collected evidence is suppressed.
>
The appellate court reversed: He invoked his right at the wrong time.
The opinion is that he wasn't yet being questioned, even though he'd
been answering police questions for several hours.

Fewer rights are better for all. Thanks Texas!
