Don't Talk to the Cops: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc (advice from a cop)

There is no benefit to talking to the police without your lawyer present. None.

Don't talk to cops indeed. They had a meandering 5-hour conversation and they still had nothing to go on, but ended up arresting and convicting him of murder for having mentioned a medicinal tea and because his memories of the hours surrounding the time of the murder (two years earlier) were fuzzy. All the while the guy had no idea he was even being interrogated!

I thought it was illegal to videotape and audiorecord someone without their knowledge?

Like many legal matters, it varies between states. The majority are "one party" states, where it's okay so long as one member of the conversation knows and agrees. (And like many legal constraints, they are usually laxer for law enforcement.)
