TREES LEGAL CLASS

Okay so I watch a lot of true crime and interrogations. I’ve been interrogated myself six times. I’ve gone to court at least five times. My grandfather worked with law enforcement for more then 15 years.

I obviously don’t have a degree but let me give you some advice most people don’t know about that I think everyone should. THIS APPLIES TO INNOCENT PEOPLE AND GUILTY PEOPLE.

•The police will use something called the futility technique in interviews: this is where they tell you something along the lines of “we already have DNA evidence (your hair/blood/fingerprints) piled up against you/ we all know you did it”. They are ALMOST ALWAYS lying. They are trying to get you to admit you did the crime (even if you haven’t). Don’t fall for it.
•I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH: ALWAYS ASK FOR A LAWYER. Even if you are innocent DO NOT TALK TO POLICE. Even if you think it will help you. They will use anything you say against you. You have a right to remain silent. Talking is how most innocent people get convicted.
• Polygraph tests aren’t admissible in court. If you fail one they will try and pretend it’s game over for you. It’s not.
•If they ask you what punishment a person should get for ___ crime (that they think you did), give the harshest possible punishment. Most innocent people do.
•They will try to get you to admit to a lesser crime so they can hold you under custody. DONT
•They will try and wear you down to create mental fatigue over several hours so they can get you to admit to a crime. DONT.


If y’all want more of these, leave a comment asking.

I feel like most people should know about this stuff.



Overall: DONT TALK TO POLICE EVER
