4. common in da UK
in england, one has no 5th amendment, and when a suspect talks to police, it is often referred to as "cooperating" or 'assisting" authorities in their investigation. which of course it IS, but it's just funny terminology.

also, in the UK, your decision to remain silent CAN be used against you, unlike here.

just a phun bit of cooperative law in re: cooperating :)
