This Police Tactic Leads to a LOT of False Confessions... 😅

Cops trying to talk you into confessing? Don't let them fool you into thinking you'll get a better deal.

Investigators rarely have the pull on prosecutors they're promising. They often straight up lie to people in the hopes they will confess. The sad part about this? This is one of the most common strategies to create false confessions. Be aware of this tactic if you're ever being interrogated!

The problem is that police prosecutors and judges are professionals supported by the limitless power of the state while the rest of us are amateurs with very limited resources. I have sat on juries and observed this.

THE COPS CANT MAKE DEALS. ONLY YOUR LAWYER CAN MAKE A DEAL WITH THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY.

True, however, it's always best to tell the truth unless the truth out of context could lead to people with a gender or commitment bias, to make a possible conclusion, the dance of being untruthful, or inaccurate-in which case It would be better to say nothing -don't lie
