Too much to respond to but I have to respond to this:

When questioned by the police, deny everything, admit nothing and ALWAYS have a lawyer present.
NO, NO, NO! It sounds cute, but it's bad legal advice. Just assert your right to remain silent, request an attorney, and leave it at that. When you start "denying everything" then the lies you've told will come back to haunt you if it is a serious law enforcement manner. Your silence can sometimes be used against you if you haven't invoked your Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. It's called an adoptive admission. http://definitions.uslegal.com/a/adoptive-admission/
