Police interrogations.

[Old Dog]

Is anyone here a police interrogator type person?

Yeah, I know a little bit about this stuff.

I used to know a guy who swore he could get me to confess to anything and Im thinking no you can't because I can shut my mouth very effectively.

Absent using some form of torture (including sleep deprivation or simply keeping you chained to a table in the same room for sixteen or more hours without letting you take a piss), he's full of crap.

Done sheriff's office, military police, police department and for a time, corrections department investigations. Worked for a department that used CVSA (computer voice stress analyzer) for a while until it got a licensed polygraph examiner. Voodoo science. I'm not entirely convinced about the polygraph, either (used to have to undergo that crap annually), I think it can be defeated.

But what I do know is that habitual criminals lie. Always.

Some criminals have gigantic egos and believe that whoever is questioning them will believe what they say... Which is why some LE types get the big egos because they've got some bad guys to talk...

Jail inmates lie. Prison inmates lie. It's a law as immutable as physics.

But those who are determined to not incriminate themselves will not typically incriminate themselves (unless we can get them on the next plane to Guantanamo Bay or they are just the average weak criminal).

Anyone know about this stuff?

Yeah.

But if I told you, then I'd have to kill you.

Then I couldn't interrogate you.

Kind of defeats the purpose.

Just sayin'.

I can't think of anyone that has talked their way out of jail, But the jail is full of those that talked their way in!
If I am in a tense situation I will say as little as possible. My lawyer will speak for me. DR

Unfortunately the coppers just want somebody to pin a crime on. They don't particularly care if it's the actual offender or not.

Don't make it easier for them to pin it on you. Remain silent.

The thing it's all about is the person being interrogated is under the impression that if he/she says the right thing, the policeman will let them go home.

People know that if they take the 5th, they are going to jail--I've never had any doubts about that

Last time I was actually arrested, I was chained to the table for several hours in a small town that only made two trips to the downtown jail a day, a couple hours after arriving at the jail I was told that I had plenty of money to bond myself out with and I paid them $1,700 and they let me out, so I could pay another $125 to a taxi to take me home...

They interrogated at least one of my neighbors. I am hoping they catch the killer before I go down. If they don't and they come sniffing around my place, my mouth is staying shut. It's a kangaroo kounty down there and I don't want to engage with them on any level.

You know what they say about snitches....
