This professor exposed a huge flaw in the justice system

If "Making a Murderer" has taught us anything, it's to always have a lawyer present. Even if you're an intelligent, well-rested, (and most importantly) innocent person, you can still be tricked into lying or implicating yourself. This law professor proved his point on this subject back in 2012

The other point as an extension on this quiz was someone who very honestly and innocently stated they "were never at that place" in regards to a crime having taken place somewhere. Honestly and innocently. The police get a reliable and credible witness stating 100% they saw that person absolutely there. Your word against theirs. Keep your mouth shut. Give them nothing. By genuinely, honestly, and innocently, stating that, they put themselves in a hole due to the misguided but also genuine witness stating the opposite. You aren't "lying" if you haven't said anything.

It’s not a flaw in the justice system, it’s a feature. And his point was that the police leverage this feature to their advantage. Another feature is that you have the right to remain silent, and this is (one out of many reasons) why.

Ironically, anyone who didn't screw this up would be more likely to be the actual criminal or at least an eye witness.

Lying? xD This is a memory test. Maybe it's considered lying to some corrupt law enforcement.

So annoying dumbing this down with that music. The professor is so entertaining on his own and the words are important. Sick of posters putting music over videos. 👎

Making an unintentional error, in this case due to faulty memory, is not lying For it to be lying requires a person attempting to deliberately deceive someone with a falsehood.
