Haha totally! After watching a video I posted here awhile back (
thank you Google!), I started thinking about it more while watching Crime shows, and realizing that the vast majority of the people they 'get' are directly because of saying something to the police.
By the same token, which they talk about a lot more in that other video, even if you are fully innocent, talking to the cops can still hurt you. You can incriminate yourself by accident, or cast doubt enough for an arrest, but you can never do the opposite (self incrimination = ok, self exoneration = hearsay).
