    You need to specificly say “I want to speak with my lawyer”, cops in the usa have been able to deny someone saying something like ‘dont I get to speak to a lawyer’ isnt specific enough

      Dude got denied once for saying “I want a lawyer, dog.” The courts upheld the he might have been referring to a dog that is a lawyer.
