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.

It may well be saner for society as a whole. But in a country which has something like the fifth amendment existing, then the "don't say anything" is probably still the best advice from the interviewee's point of view.
