Asking for a lawyer is a super-power. It provides perhaps the strongest protection in US law. If a person in police custody responds to questioning by asking for a lawyer, the police must stop questioning the person about ANY crime.

Because the protections are so broad and powerful, SCOTUS has refused to apply them unless you make a “clear and unambiguous” request for a lawyer. That’s the rub. /3
