Great Link on Why Not to Talk to Police

This has been done, done and done. Good info, but search is your friend.

They ought to make this video mandatory during high school civics classes.

I've seen this many times and think it should be mandatory watching. If you watch "Cops" on TV, you'll see the LEO use the same lines over & over again. It usually gets them permission to look into your car or home legally when that's the last thing that you want to give them.

I certainly have nothing against LEOs but from now on, I will never talk to the police if there are any questions relating to me, what I'm going, what I've done, where I've been or what my thoughts are on anything.

P.S. I see that the rebuttal by the police officer is no longer available. Why do you suppose it was pulled from this mini-production?

I just watched (most of) it, very interesting. He definately makes his point.

So he searches, finds that it was posted six months ago and decides not to post it... thereby ensuring that all those who have joined in the past five months don't get a chance to view it.

HBO repeats the same movie over more than once and still seems to be the most popular pay channel on cable.

Each episode of Law & Order has been officially been seen by every American at least six times and we can still find them airing on TV almost 7/24.

Good things are worth repeating.

This thread has posted (& been locked) like 9 times in the last 2 months. I give this one till Jeff White logs on.

never was sure why anyone would not want something posted again just because it has been up before.

im pretty sure not everyone here has seen every post posted. my .02

Aside: I'm glad it was reposted. Every time the video was posted as a link before the server pointed to was too busy and I didn't get to watch. The link redirected me to a podcast. A what? Huh? This time the article pointed to a youtube link which I did get to watch and I for one am glad I did.

That said: there is something I do not understand that maybe someone with legal training can explain:

The lawyer said if you tell the cops something incriminating that can be used against you and the prosecutor asks what you told the cops, the cop can tell what you told him - and that's ok.

BUT! If what you tell the cops can be used to help you and the cop is asked what you told him and he says what it was - well - that's hearsay and inadmissable.

***! Why is one hearsay and the other isn't. Makes no sense. In both cases the cop is repeating in court something that you told him.

Used to be said in Brooklyn that sometimes it pays to have been tying your shoes at the time.

"I din't see nuttin'. I wuz tyin' my shoes."

Me olda brudder tole me dat and it took a year to figger it out.

There are some on here that never want to see a post repeated. It seems that everything that is to post or could be posted has already been posted, so for those of you that feel this way, why bother looking at these forums again. As for me, I'm sure I don't catch every topic I'm interested in the first time it is posted, and if I did, I don't mind seeing it again because it isn't mandatory that I read every line of every post. Or did I miss a rule.

No, Terry, no.... don't double up on post 13.

Noooo, Noooo....

Good boy! Gooood boy! Here's a cookie.

I've never seen the video before and I am glad it was posted.

Thanks.

I've never seen that.

Good stuff.

This popped up again at maggies farm blog last week , and there its a two part series with part 1 being a law professor , and part 2 being a working police officer . Both are worth watching or watching again as the case may be . The Prof gives you the why in 8 points , but the officer gives you some of the how interviews work . I see both vids are linked on this post . If you do nothing else listen closely to the detective when he describes the psychology of an interview where by the interviewee wants nothing more than out of that room and the officer is likely on overtime and frankly would just as soon stay .
If a re post , it is a needed one for the info of many here .

I don't need some post on THR to teach me not to talk to a cop. That said this video is good stuff the problem people have W/it is that during it's heyday there were 6 threads about it in a row in Legal. Jeff would no sooner close one than someone else would post another thread about it like it was some grand discovery. Maybe if you're going to post here you could look at what everyone else is posting before you break your "big news"

I for one had never seen it before. Thanks for posting.

Those interested, check out flexyourrights.com

DON'T talk to the police, and DON'T ever consent to a search.

"Each episode of Law & Order has been officially been seen by every American at least six times and we can still find them airing on TV almost 7/24.

Good things are worth repeating."

An oxymoron if I ever saw one.

Thanks for the post and link.
I had never seen it.
I've heard this kind of recommendations before, but not as concise, well put, and presented in the two videos. I will have my family watch this to.

Its about time. This is actually useful information that is completely relevant to our police state society.
Thanks for posting.
