I should also add that the law protects your right to withhold information in a particular context, such that you do not need to make any kind of statement or answer questions when interviewed by the police on suspicion of a crime. That is not equivalent to lying to the police. You have the right not to incriminate yourself. Saying nothing is not being dishonest in that context, it's a fundamental right.
