I wish you the best of luck and hope that you are never the target of a criminal investigation. As someone who has been, on more than one occasion, I'm saying that this is suicidal advice.
To be clear, the only reason I'm even digging in here is because I worry that someone might actually take your advice and wind themselves up in jail.
You have to weigh two things: How likely you are to be found guilty when you are not (because of what you say) vs. how likely you are to convince the cops you have nothing to hide and not get arrested in the first place.
You're simply not in a position to weigh either of those two things: you don't have all of the information that the cops have about the investigation, and you have no idea how they might twist your words down the road.
