LE has no power to keep you from talking to the press.
Even being arrested doesn't remove your right to speak to the press.
Only a judge issuing a gag order can do that.
They can express their opinions of course, but there is nothing they can do to stop it, and if it is your suspect talking you like to hear them talk.
Quite true. But LE can strongly advise victims's families that it would be against their own best interests and a hindrance to the invesigation itself to talk to the press.
