Why you should never talk to the police

[andrewducker]

A brilliant lecture by a defense attorney explaining why it is never in your interests to talk to the police:

The bit at the end where a police detective talks about why he's right, and what they do to get a confession is also fascinating.

I didn't watch it when it first made the rounds a couple of years back, but thanks to annwfyn Julie and I watched it this morning, and I'm very glad we did. It's worth the time.

IAWTC. This is very much the same as my understanding of the best advice for England-and-Wales.

I'd only add that, if at all possible, get a solicitor of your own rather than the duty solicitor. The duty solicitor is way better than none, though.
