Carpe Diem

There are many ways a police officer will try to trick you into talking. It’s always safe to say the Magic Words:

“Am I free to leave, if not I’m going to remain silent and I want a lawyer.”

The following are common lie’s the police use when they’re trying to get you to talk to them:

* “You will have to stay here and answer my questions” or “You’re not leaving until I find out what I want to know.”

* “I have evidence on you, so tell me what I want to know or else.” (They can fabricate fake evidence to convince you to tell them what they want to know.)

* “You’re not a suspect, were simply investigating here. Just help us understand what happened and then you can go.”

* “If you don’t answer my questions, I won’t have any choice but to take you to jail.”

* “If you don’t answer these questions, you’ll be charged with resisting arrest.”
