when the law twists a suspects words in order to deny criminal rights; refers to a court decision made in New Orleans after a suspect asked for a "lawyer, dawg" the motion to give the man a lawyer was denied due to ambiguous wording as it was argued he could've been asking for a dog that was a lawyer
Be clear and concise when invoking your rights as a suspect to police, otherwise you could get lawyer dogged
