obstruction
Is it obstruction of justice to advise someone not to answer questions from the police?
<p>If two people X and Y are together and the police come and start interrogating X and Y says, "Don't answer any of their questions."., can the police then arrest Y for obstruction of justice?</p>

<h2>No</h2>

<p>Advising someone to do something that the police will shortly be telling them they have the right to do can hardly be obstruction.</p>
