Why You Should Never Talk to the Police

[jrandom]

EDIT: And your silence in this case would very likely not have affected the outcome, it may have made it worse...

Dunno about that.

Y'see, based on subsequent conversations with the 'victim', apparently I came across to the investigating sergeant as the genuine deal, a fair dinkum rapist and woman-beater.

Something to do with 'arrogance'.



(Yes, I know. You're all very surprised at that, aren't you.)

Perhaps he's never pondered the thought of how facing a false accusation and being dragged hither and yon about town to face large bullying men asking inane questions might cause your average slightly-less-than-humble law-abiding citizen to react.

I bet. Of course, they're a good argument for Police taking a non-judgemental approach to the gathering of evidence and carefully weighing up of the worth of prosecutions rather than charging into court with unfounded allegations, aren't they?

Cases such as yours tend to be 'he-said,she-said' affairs.
Hard to get to the facts so get as many as can, if sufficient to present to Court then that's where it goes.

The judge judges it - police present the case and facts as they have on the case.

So let me get this right. If a police officer asks me something - I say nothing? Even if I am innocent? So what happens next - instead of clearing things up there and then - perhaps he will politely ask me to accompany him to the station (or even arrest me) - at which time i have to say nothing again until I can get a lawyer at some horrendous fee to say my client is innocent and has nothing to say???

Can't I judge if the officer is going to listen to truth and make a judgement on that? I think the problem most people have with talking to the law is that people who are lied to constantly tend to get finely tuned bullshit metres and will detect your crap.
My advise is either talk or don't its up to you but whatever you do don't talk crap - they will know and eventually you will contradict other crap you have said.

Watch the first part of the video. They cover this exact thing in depth.

Mmyes.

Of course, once the charges against the man are dismissed, no charges are ever laid against the woman for wasting police and court time, are they?

Are they?

It'd be lovely if they were, but I somehow doubt it.

So staying silent WOULD have helped you eh??

The fooka has never been silent in his life...
Bloody wifebeaters!

[Skyryder]

If you say nothing, nothing can be used against you.

The bit about the Police allowing to lie at an interview caught my attention.

Shamefull.

They are in false rape claims.

You're right - they are rarely charged.

But they are now 'on record' - makes them less likely to be believed next time.

'boy that cried wolf' kinda thing.

Mmm.

Still works as a wonderful way for a woman to make a man's life hell for a while for free, doesn't it?

She woul be part of my past-life pretty damn quick if it were me sunshine.

I'd drop her like a hot turd.

Kids or no kids.

Oh, that's been well and truly done, believe me.

Kids or no kids.

Fortunately I've managed to keep a good handle on regular contact with them.

Not to mention the cases where the accused man ISN'T able to prove that the allegation is a malicious fabrication. Not always that easy to do, regardless of the theory a man accused by a woman is guilty until proven innocent.

So, one wonders how many of the rapists in rpison were 'fitted up'.
