LAWYER: How Police Get Around Your Right to Remain Silent

You have a right to remain silent – one of the most revered Constitutional rights we all know we should exercise when talking to police. BUT, did you know police are trained to make you feel comfortable waiving them?

In this video, we will examine the tricks cops use to get you to give up your Miranda rights. You have a right to remain silent and cops are required to read you your Miranda rights if you are in custody and being interrogated. Failure to read you your rights can lead to an illegal interrogation.

"Officer, you seem to have a problem with the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendment to the Constitution, can I conclude that you are a dirty cop?"

[johnwatson]

"Officer, I will NOT sign, swear to, or affirm ANYTHING." Never sign AWAY/WAIVE your Miranda Rights. You have the right to remain silent. Most people don't have the ability to remain silent.

I sometimes watch the "police documentary" tv show The First 48. The interview technique of the police saying "tell us your side of the story" seems to be a favorite way of getting people to incriminate themselves.

About 50 years ago I was busted for pot. I was about 20 years old. I wasn't worried about the possession charge, that was just a 100 dollar fine in my state at the time but I was charged with driving under the influence of drugs and I spent a weekend that I had planned on spending trout fishing in jail. I was not given any kind of sobriety test, and the officer had no legal basis to search my car. But when my lawyer read the officer's report to me, I was shocked to learn that the report was nothing but lies. It was a real loss of innocence for me so I'm glad it happened at such an early age. I thought that because he had a badge and was supposed to be the good guy he was bound to tell the truth. But they will lie. They will lie when they are questioning you, they will lie in their reports and they will lie on the stand under oath. They will twist what you say to meet their ends. I've since tried to hammer this into the heads of my adult sons. Even if you are innocent of any wrongdoing, once they decide you're their guy, there is nothing you can say that will change their minds. There is nothing to be gained by talking. Keep your mouth shut !

"Sir, do you know why I pulled you over? "
"Well if you can't remember, I'm sure not gonna tell you" ..😂😂

I had an encounter when I was just 21yrs old that taught me the only thing to say to cops is, "well, I guess you are just going to have to take me to jail".

[ThatRedhedd]

Guaranteed...they'll use this line 100% of the time: "If we find out later, it'll be a lot worse than if you just tell us now."

Mom was a city cop for 10yrs, uncle was state for 30, 1 thing they both repeated over & over is.... keep your mouth shut.. nobody talks everybody walks

Rights aren't taught in government schools for a reason. Same reason police aren't taught the citizens' rights.

Prosecutors are worse than cops when it comes to lying and finding justice.
Prosecutors and judges work with/for police, they go along with police and will commit any crime and cover up the cop's crimes.
Even when given evidence of corruption, misconduct, or evidence of innocence, they will hide/ignore the evidence and go for a conviction.
I have seen this happen too many times by too many prosecutors and judges.
If you are pro se, you are screwed by the prosecutor and the corrupt judges.
You do not know the laws, the supreme court decisions, how to speak Latin, how to present evidence, you do not know how/when to object, how to motion, the filing dates, or anything else in a court room.
Judges allow opposing council to use double negatives when questioning witnesses.
You do not know how to file an appeal.
Prosecutors and Judges are the criminals in any courtroom, and they commit crimes every single day.

The real shame is that cops don’t know/care about any rights and aren’t penalized for violating any civil rights.

The most outrageous and saddest at the same time is when they threaten you with taking your kids away.😢

Something that was clearly left out - from the time you are contacted Miranda is in play. Cops investigate. Cops in many states are being incentivized with bonuses to arrest as many people as possible regardless of conviction because they make so much money from due process.
From the time you are contacted by police Miranda is enacted. Any information you give to police can and will be used against you if possible. It’s only when there are established / confirmed or assumed - grounds for arrest - and you are notified of official arrest that police are required by law to read disclose Miranda to you.
Shut up. Don’t talk. Once arrested EVERYTHING you said prior to Miranda is still admissible as evidence and IT WILL be used for your conviction.

I just ignore their chatter and clam up after telling them I am invoking my 5th amendment rights

"What's your age?"
It's on the ID can you do math?
"Are you married?"
That's a good question, I'm not sure why you'd want to know though, sorry I don't answer questions that aren't legally required to answer. This is my Driver ID, my proof of insurance, and my vehicle registration. Let me know when I'm free to leave or if I'm under arrest; I'd like to be on my way as soon as possible.

Officer, who sells the best donuts locally?

[deebee]

Never ever ANSWER questions like "where are you heading today?", or "where are you coming from?"....EVER.

[coolraul]

4:17 - The hypocrisy of this one irks me so much! Many police unions build into their contracts that questioning an officer is forbidden unless their PBA rep (lawyer) is present.
