    I’m not the person you replied to, but I am confused as to what you mean. You don’t have to invoke the fifth amendment in order to not speak with police (the fifth amendment is more used in court), but you always have the right to have an attorney present when speaking with police in the US.

      You have to actively and affirmatively express you want a lawyer and to remain silent for it to count.

      Just being quiet or saying something like “I “think” I need a lawyer has been ruled not to count.”
