Q & A
What is the first lie that police officers might use during an interrogation according to the script?
-The first lie mentioned is that police officers can't help if you don't talk to them, which is not true as talking more can lead to self-incrimination.
Why might the police invite you to the station just to 'hear your side of the story'?
-This is a tactic to make you feel comfortable and get you to talk, but it's not about hearing your side; it's about gathering information to potentially use against you.
What does the script suggest about the phrase 'this conversation is off the record' during police interactions?
-The script clarifies that there is no such thing as 'off the record' with the police; everything you say can be used against you in court.
How does the script advise responding to the claim that the police will speak to the judge or prosecutor about your cooperation?
-The script advises that this is rarely true and suggests invoking your right to remain silent and requesting an attorney.
What should you be aware of when the police say someone else has confessed and implicated you?
-This could be a lie to get you to talk. The script advises to remain silent and not to fall for this tactic.
Why might the police offer you a breath test, and what is the potential risk?
-They might offer a breath test to gather evidence of guilt, not innocence. Even if you're under the legal limit, they can use the test results against you.
What is the implication if the police claim to have found your fingerprints at the scene of a crime?
-If they had your fingerprints and were sure of your involvement, they would likely arrest you immediately. The claim might be a lie to prompt a confession.
What is the script's advice regarding the police's claim that they have an eyewitness or video footage?
-It's often a lie to pressure you into talking. If they had solid evidence, they would likely have already arrested you.
How should you respond if the police say they can get a search warrant quickly and it's better to let them in?
-You should deny consent for a search without a warrant. This prevents them from potentially illegally obtaining evidence.
What is the script's stance on taking a polygraph test with law enforcement?
-The script advises against taking a polygraph test because they can lie about the results to pressure you into admitting guilt.
What is the overall advice given in the script for dealing with police interrogation tactics?
-The script advises to remain silent, invoke your right to an attorney, and not to engage with the police's lies and tactics.

Transcripts
when the police go fishing they're going
to use whatever bait they can to get you
to start talking and lying straight to
your face is one of their favorite
tricks and it's legal lie number one I
can't help you if you don't talk to me
that's absolutely not true here's the
reality the more you talk the more there
is a chance they're going to interpret
whatever you say or manipulate what you
say to use against you the more you talk
the more they will hurt you line number
two come on down to the police station I
just want to talk to you I want to hear
your side of the story look in reality
it's never going to work that way this
is a professional interrogator you're
dealing with detectives are trained to
make you feel comfortable come on down
to the station but once you get into the
station they're never going to let you
just tell your side of the story they're
going to begin to Pelt you with
questions yes or no answers required and
after a while you'll begin to realize
you're actually being asked questions
they already want certain answers to
remember you are dealing with an
interrogation not a chance to tell your
side of the story The only time you get
a chance to tell your side of the story
is in the courtroom line number three
this conversation is off the Record can
I tell you right now there is no such
thing as off the Record when you're
dealing with a police officer in reality
when he says off the Record the moment
you open your mouth and you start
talking the rules are that everything
you say can and will be used against you
in court in fact the moment you begin to
open your mouth and answer these
questions the officer is going to use
whatever you say and either interpret it
manipulate it or just decide they're
going to use what you say and tie it
together with other information to
establish probable cause for your arrest
and ultimately attempt to convict you in
court what do you say officer I would
like to have this off the record
conversation with my attorney present
until then I invoke my right to remain
silent line number four I will
personally speak to the judge and the
prosecutor if you cooperate with me
first of all this is almost never true
very rarely does the detective actually
ever speak to the judge or the
prosecutor about your cooperation and
most of the time the judge doesn't
really care the reality of it is I only
usually see detectives doing this if
they're placed under cross-examination
during a jury trial where they admit
that they actually said these things
otherwise the judge is primarily
concerned whether or not you are guilty
of the crime or whether or not there's
enough evidence to establish that guilt
same thing with jurors at the end of the
day you very rarely see any brownie
points being given to someone for
cooperating but you'll be punished
through and through if you open your
mouth line number five someone else has
already confessed to the crime and they
told us what you did you better start
talking so think about this so someone
else confessed to the crime and then
they said something about you does that
mean you're off the hook does that mean
you're now supposed to start talking to
the police and they're not going to care
what you say they're lying to you don't
fall for this one absolutely tell them
you're going to remain silent line
number six we already know what happened
and if you don't tell us what happened
it's going to get worse for you maybe
they do or maybe they don't really know
what happened but you deciding to open
your mouth is not going to help you one
bit let's think about this for a second
if they already know what happened they
would have already arrested you why even
speak to you about it if they don't know
what happened anything you say is not
going to talk your way out of this
situation because if the officer already
believes you committed this crime they
are going to choose to hear what you say
to fit the puzzle pieces that make them
believe they have evidence to arrest you
and convict you everything you say can
be manipulated and twisted to fit The
Narrative of the police officer and that
can result potentially in your
conviction line number seven just take
this breath test and I can determine
you're sober and I'll let you go home
let me tell you this I've seen enough
DWI arrests to realize if a police
officer is going to offer you a breath
test he wants to use it as a means to
determine your guilt not your innocence
the moment you blow into that breath
test even if you might happen to be
under the legal limit he's going to have
you give this evidence along with your
field sobriety test so that he can get
you off the street and you're spending
the night in jail what if trying to be
your friend doesn't work then what'll
happen is the police will start trying
to scare you line number eight we found
your fingerprints at the scene of the
crime now think this through for a
second if the police come to you
particularly soon after the event that
supposedly took place if they come after
you and they say Hey listen we found
your fingerprints at the scene of the
crime you have to ask yourself this
question if they found my fingerprints
why aren't they just arresting me right
now that is a good indicator they're
lying to you and by the way if they come
to you particularly soon after the crime
and they're claiming they already have
your fingerprints it's not like they
immediately know which fingerprints will
match and they have to have a copy of
your prints almost always When someone
tells me they have a fingerprint match I
can tell you the police are likely lying
lie number nine it's probably better for
you to go ahead and talk because we
already have an eyewitness putting you
at the scene of the crime many times
there's no eyewitness at all and the
cops are allowed to lie about this I
hear cops say this all the time too
about a recording hey man listen we've
pulled the cameras over here across the
street we already looked at it and we
already know it's you and it's
especially the innocent people that can
be at risk here because they might freak
out and they'll start to panic sometimes
it's not what you say it's what you
don't say so if an officer has
eyewitness testimony that you did
something they should already arrest you
and if they haven't already arrested you
there's a very good chance there is no
eyewitness or video footage at all line
number 10 we can get a search warrant in
just a few minutes it's better for us if
you just let us in when an officer says
something like this to you the number
one thing you should say is Officer I do
not consent to a search of my vehicle or
of my property why because CU maybe they
can or maybe they can't get a search
warrant within a few minutes but think
about this for a minute if they could
have gotten a search warrant why didn't
they show up to your place with a search
warrant to begin with otherwise there's
very little chance that they actually
have enough evidence to establish a
search warrant and they're merely on a
fishing Expedition looking to see if you
will be naive enough to allow them to
come into search the moment you let them
in the door without a search warrant
you're giving up the opportunity to
suppress evidence that was illegally
obtained through the efforts that they
created with their search warrant lie
number 11 hey man your friend already
ratted you out I see cops do this all
the time they'll separate the two
parties on a traffic stop they'll get
the driver off to the side they'll get
the passenger off to the side they'll
start talking to them then they'll walk
over one to the other and they'll say
hey man just had a conversation with
your friend over here he told me the
drugs in the car were yours I really
don't want to arrest you but I'm just
going to tell you right now he already
ratted you out if you don't tell me what
really went down here I'm going to have
to take you in
please understand police can lie about
exactly this issue if the police already
had enough evidence from someone else
putting the finger at you they could
just arrest you it's important to say
officer I exercise my right to remain
silent and I'm asking to have my
attorney present for any further
questioning line number 12 you just
failed a polygraph first of all let me
give you some advice on this never take
a polygraph examination with law
enforcement please understand polygraphs
cannot be admitted and used against you
in court but I've seen officers take
polygraph examinations and claim they
failed polygraph and then they'll say
look man we really know what happened
now you're lying to us trying to
pressure someone to admit to any of the
facts that they can use as a basis for
probable cause for arrest if they tell
you you failed there's a good chance
it's a lie so if the cops can legally
lie to you all the time how do you
defend yourself don't talk to the police
and if you are going to talk to the
police definitely Loy you're up and if
you find yourself in the Dallas area
give our office a call we're there to
help protect you from the lies of the
police but in the meantime check out
this next video to learn five ways you
don't get outsmarted by the police see
you there
