10 Police Interrogation Techniques That You Need To Know About: How Do Police Extract Confessions?

 

 

COME. THE POLICE OFFICER WILL ACCUSE YOU

OF THE CRIME CONFIDENTLY, UNWAVERINGLY, AND

REPEATEDLY. THEY WOULD SAY THINGS LIKE — WE

KNOW FOR A FACT THAT YOU DID IT, I JUST

WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY! AND YOU WILL NOT

BE ALLOWED TO DENY THINGS. THE POLICE

OFFICER WILL INTERRUPT ALL YOUR DENIALS.

THEY WOULD DISMISS YOUR DENAILS AS

IMPOSSIBLE AND CONTRADICTORY TO THE

FACTS OF THE CASE. ESSENTIALLY, THEY WILL

NOT ALLOW YOU TO EFFECTIVELY VERBALIZE

ANY COHERENT DENIALS OR DEFENSE. THEY WILL SAY

THINGS LIKE — STOP DENYING IT! STOP

TALKING!

LISTEN TO ME! LISTEN TO ME NOW! I WILL

GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK IN JUST

A MOMENT, BUT RIGHT NOW, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT

THAT YOU LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY!

WHY DO THEY SAY THAT? WHY DO THEY TELL

YOU THAT YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THEM? IT

IS NOT BECAUSE THEY HAVE SOMETHING

TERRIBLY IMPORTANT TO SAY. RATHER, IT IS

BECAUSE THE POLICE INTERROGATION

TECHNIQUE INDICATES THAT THE SUSPECT

SHOULD NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO

VERBALIZE DENIALS. NEXT: FALSE EVIDENCE

PLOYS. THE POLICE OFFICER WILL CONFRONT

YOU WITH EVIDENCE AGAINST YOU, SOMETIMES

REAL EVIDENCE, SOMETIMES FABRICATED

EVIDENCE — KNOWN AS A FALSE EVIDENCE PLOY.

THEY WILL SAY THAT THEY HAVE

YOUR FINGERPRINTS, OR THEY’VE GOT YOUR DNA, OR THEY

HAVE EYEWITNESS TESTIMONIES, OR THEY HAVE

 

As as a former cop I believe many innocent people have been brainwashed into making false confessions and punished with the approval of the DA, Judge and Police chief. This is what all good cops should fight to prevent. We should work as hard to exonerate innocent person as to convict a guilty one. The objective is to do a good job without, remorse, doubt and guilt.

 

I was once a prime suspect in a $11K petty cash theft at my workplace. Interrogation went down EXACTLY the way described here. As the innocent party, my mistake was expecting that me agreeing to be interviewed at the station, which bait and switched to interrogated, was going to help them with their investigation. instead they spent 5 hrs trying to get a confession. Until you’ve lived it, you cant relate to how scary and stressful it is when you’re innocent.
after once or twice it can be enjoyable. just tell the cops to hurry up cause you are heading over to their house to investigate a possible crime when you leave.
 @Ronald Agyemang  You don’t ALLOW them to interrogate you. You don’t say but one thing, “I want a lawyer.” And you keep saying it a thousand times if you have to do so. If you don’t have the money to hire an attorney they HAVE to provide you with one. That is your right under the Constitution of the United States. Good luck.
It’s stressful yes. I understand. Once you keep your mouth shut and don’t get into any dialogue it’s better. Switch the questions on them. If they ask, what would you normally do after work. Ask them well what would you normally do. And repeat. No dialogue, no report building.
Bottom line: IF a police officer is talking to you, they are investigating…. Know your rights…
It’s alarming that often they are more interested in closing the case than finding out who is actually guilty. Especially in a murder investigation.
There appears to be a pattern that vulnerable people are charged with crimes, because it’s easier to get confessions. The police do not appear to be particularly interested in finding the real criminal as long as they have a victim to blame it on.

 

 

The Risks Lying Within Donald Trump’s One-on-One Meeting With Vladimir Putin

GOP senator, who recently met with Russia’s leader, warns of ‘denial, hostility, blaming others’

“If our experience is any indication of what the president will find, it will be denial, hostility, blaming others and long and tedious responses,” the Kansas Republican said in an interview as he was returning home.
.. Moreover, Sen. Moran suggests the president might want to think twice about his plan to meet privately with Mr. Putin, with no aides present. The senator and his colleagues are fuming at the way the Russian media portrayed (or, they say, baldly mis-portrayed) their own private meetings with Russian officials, suggesting the Americans only briefly and meekly raised the issue of Russian meddling in the 2016 election campaign.
..  Trump, understandably, has focused instead on what he sees as the upside potential. In general, he thinks the world is a safer place if the U.S. and Russia get along. More specifically, he wants Russia to help in the effort to force North Korea to denuclearize by not providing backdoor economic relief to the regime in Pyongyang, particularly by buying North Korean coal.

.. Russia may use the very fact of a private meeting with the president to claim the U.S. has accepted Russia’s annexation of Crimea and acknowledged its right to interfere in Ukraine. Russian media already have trumpeted statements by Mr. Trump suggesting sympathy for the Russian position on Crimea as proof the Americans have thrown in the towel on the subject.
Moreover, Mr. Putin may well use Mr. Trump’s own apparent ambivalence about the value of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to portray the U.S. and Russia as moving beyond the traditional alliance that has guarded Western security through the post-World War II era.
.. Mr. Trump and his aides are playing a good-cop, bad-cop routine, in which Mr. Trump questions the motives of America’s allies and carries on pointed spats with the leaders of France, Germay and Canada, while his aides praise the allies and their efforts. In a briefing for reporters last week, Kay Bailey Hutchison, Mr. Trump’s ambassador to NATO, lauded what she called “the biggest increase in defense spending by our allies since the Cold War.”
.. Finally, Mr. Putin doubtless will continue to simply deny any interference in the 2016 election campaign, a denial that Mr. Trump noted again on Twitter last week: “Russia continues to say they had nothing to do with Meddling in our Election!”The risk is that the Russian leader will use Mr. Trump’s seeming willingness to accept his denials as proof that any claims to the contrary—including a seven-page bipartisan report from the Senate Intelligence Committee last week—are specious.

Mr. Trump’s critics already portray him as way too cozy with his Russian counterpart. Unless Mr. Trump plays the summit well, he could allow the meeting to play directly into that critique.

Corker Told the Truth About Trump. Now He Should Act on It.

Among people who work in politics, Republicans as well as Democrats, it is conventional wisdom that President Trump is staggeringly ill-informed, erratic, reckless and dishonest. (He also might be compromised by a hostile foreign power.)

.. But it’s also conventional wisdom that with few exceptions, Republicans in Congress are not going to stand up to him.

.. America’s nuclear arsenal is in the hands of a senescent Twitter troll, but those with political power have refused to treat this fact as a national emergency

.. “The Congress holds the ultimate power for war,” Jerry Taylor, president of the Niskanen Center, a libertarian think tank, told me. “Though they have more or less delegated that power away to the executive branch, they can take it back.”

.. They could start with a pair of bills introduced by Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey and California Representative Ted Lieu, both Democrats, prohibiting the president from launching a nuclear first strike without a congressional declaration of war.

.. He made it clear that Trump’s tweeted provocations of North Korea are impulsive rather than strategic. “A lot of people think that there is some kind of ‘good cop, bad cop’ act underway, but that’s just not true,”
