  • didn’t you hear …
    didn’t you hear what the lawyer said though? “Anything you say can and will be used AGAINST you…” He clearly mentions that it will never be used in your defense, theres nothing you can say that will help you, just leave it to the experts and keep yourself out of self incrimination whether your innocent or not, that was the whole point of the video.

  • i talked my way out …
    i talked my way out of an underage drinking charge

  • Enlightening.
    Enlightening.

  • sounds like a used …
    sounds like a used car salesman.

  • Well, what could he …
    Well, what could he say in the public? I think that we can hear the distrust in his voice, at least I did.

  • What the officer …
    What the officer said last was exactly what happened to me. Finding something does not mean it belongs to you, and forgetting to bring it to its rightful owner could be considered theft….An appology letter they asked and I gave…true…I am an idiot, I will probably go to jail cause a COps job is to convict, not help you regardles weather you are inoscent or not.

  • I disagree with the …
    I disagree with the lawyer on one point. He says it is unlikely the police would lie. I think its more often than not that they will lie.

  • Innocent people are …
    Innocent people are convicted all the time. See research psychologist Elizabeth Loftus’s book “Eyewitness for the Defense.” The same advice as this video can be found in the “Criminal Law Handbook: Know Your Rights: Survive the System” by Attorneys Paul Bergman and Sara J. Bergman-Barrett from Nolo Press, a highly respected source of legal info.

  • No, you prove your …
    No, you prove your innocence in court, not to the cop. Saying anything at all to the cop can get you in trouble, so you are *always* better off just keeping your mouth shut.

  • Are you kidding? …
    Are you kidding? Obviously people should try to prove their innocence, such as giving an alibi so that the police can continue their search for the real criminal. You obviously won’t be convicted unless you are proven guilty, but that doesn’t mean you can’t help prove your own innocence. Jesus man, you clearly decided to dislike this guy before you even heard a word he said. People like you are the reason I have such a low opinion of cop haters.

  • that cop is an …
    that cop is an asshole. he’s a arrogant who obviously doesn’t understand the meaning of protect and SERVE. Prove that i’m innocent??? what kind of cop says something like that? People like him are a big part of the reason people have such a low opinion of police officers.

  • good info i just …
    good info i just find it hilarious that he paints police in a good light every chance he gets

  • good info i just …
    good info i just fin ti hilarious that he paints police in a good light every chance he gets

  • I’ve never heard …
    I’ve never heard someone talk so quickly and so clearly at the same time.

  • Haha, I’m writing a …
    Haha, I’m writing a comment on the internet! My opinion has value, and is more corrector than you’res!

  • @bevelhead1 I’m …
    @bevelhead1 I’m no fan of any belief system holding to variations of the “magic friend who lives in the sky” theme. Such irrational mental mush serving to “ground” a solid knowledge of the law sounds oxymoronic. OTOH, the kind of mental gymnastics required to accept all the inconsistencies and contradictions of a belief system may very well foster creative thinking.

    Nevertheless, let’s remember to avoid committing the ‘appeal to authority’ logical fallacy.

  • What parts are …
    What parts are bullshit?

  • Some good stuff in …
    Some good stuff in here, some bullshit stuff in here. This video is a mixed bag.

  • No justice, no …
    No justice, no peace!!!

  • All true, but ( …
    All true, but (because I’m a snob) this is the Regent School of Law, a fundamentalist Christian joint: “We enhance our curriculum by grounding it in Christian faith and values, developing a different kind of lawyer, one uniquely equipped to serve a broad spectrum of clients with excellence, humility and integrity.”

  • good stuff to know. …
    good stuff to know. Thanks for posting.

  • The Police Force is …
    The Police Force is the largest organized gang in the world. All cops are not bad all cops are not good. Cops are taught from the academy they attend before becoming officers of how to manipulate people. And ALWAYS remember police are under NO obligation at any time to tell you the truth, they can lie about anything to obtain whatever info or evidence they want from you, it always makes me laugh though that we can charged for lieing to a cop, its called obstruction.

  • Incredible.
    Incredible.

  • sounds like youre …
    sounds like youre going to end up in jail at some point…i hope peaches treats you nice

  • The officer was a …
    The officer was a little condescending to the law students, IMO. Not that he wasn’t a nice guy. Problem is, not all cops are nice. See the example in the vid of eliciting a confession from an innocent, mentally disabled man? Even more problematic, even the nice cops will make mistakes. This is a human system and it is fallible.
