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.

 

 

6 things narcissist enablers say to you

 

Narcissists exist in systems, supported by enablers.

 

The narcissist had a tough backstory (which excuses their behavior)

 

They didn’t mean it.  (How did the narcissist enablers know this) gaslighting

 

I didn’t have any problem with them.  (Dismissive Invalidation)

(They had a different relationship with them.  They are narcissistic themselves or good supply)

 

It will get better.  Just be patient.  (This is cruel because narcissists rarely change and the narcissist faces no consequences.)

 

It’s not that bad. (minimization, invalidation, gaslighting)

 

Stop complaining.  They work really hard.

(They’re a good provider)

 

“There are two sides to every story.” Not when it comes to abuse.

 

“just think how much stronger that made you”, which is BS. The abuse didn’t make me strong. It made me insecure, it made feel worthless, it made me devalue myself.
“Look at the bright side!” “Quit being negative!” I know now that these enablers were narcissists themselves, criticizing and constantly attacking me for “complaining” and being “negative” about the abuse. These were my parents who got angry, then pushed me to feel guilty and ashamed for speaking up about the abuse from my partner until I stopped. As I was leaving him, he panicked and held me for there for nine days until a friend noticed I was gone and called police. He did monstrous things. My own parents (still his enablers) didn’t want me to cooperate with the trial. They used words like, “Show gratitude that you survived”, “Don’t call attendance to yourself” “Move on” “Stop Dwelling” “Pull your bootstraps up”. I testified at trial. He’s still in prison. My parents have had me on silent treatment for this since 2009, my father passed in 2016 and they convinced other family to be flying monkeys. They didn’t even like this man, they just expected me to be perfect and pretend to have a perfect life and relationship.

 

“Let bygones be bygones.”
“You are misinterpreting the situation.”
“That’s not what they said to me.”
“You are over reacting again.”
Bottom line: I’m wrong; the narc was right and so is the enabler. I’m the bad guy.
“You can’t control what she says to you, you can only control your reaction to it” = you must ignore everything
“Family is everything/Family first” = you must continually forgive and forget all the comments/inappropriate actions that a family member says, including denying what’s happening within our family and outside of it
“You aren’t an angel either.” Especially when highlighting reaction to abuse. When you were a child.
“Be the bigger person”. Translation: Shrink yourself to fit the narcissist’s agenda.
“Don’t put me in the middle of it.” When I tried to relate to them about the abuse happening right in front of their eyes. “That’s just how he is.”
My father (enabler) about my mother: “she just wants the best for you, it’s too much love that makes her do that (mean comments, controlling behavior, silent treatment). One day you will understand when you have your own children”. My oldest is 16 and I’m still wondering when I will understand her behavior. Thank you Dr Ramani for making things make sense for the first time in my life!
