On a traffic stop, an officer can instruct a person to stay back. At that point it is an investigation.


The individual has a right to an attorney to be present.

Wrong!

If a person invokes their right to counsel, the police cannot question them without the counsel is present.

It doesn't mean the attorney automatcically gets to come into the scene or speak with his/her client at that moment.

It just ends questioning until the cops choose to interview the suspect with the attorney present.
