Yep.
And the police are totally allowed to lie to you about the results, or about anything. Even if he passed the polygraph, if they thought he was hiding something or had more to do with it than he was letting on they would have told him he failed in an effort to pressure him to talk more.
There have been cases where people pass polygraphs, are totally innocent, and the police pressure them into false confessions by telling them they failed. It's pretty messed up.
Never talk to the police. Everything you say will be spun and used *against* you, even if you are telling the truth. They are allowed to lie to you. Always get a lawyer.
I used to think this.
I would watch the First 48 and wonder why any of these suspects ever spoke to the police without a lawyer...and then a crime happened on the First 48 that happened between some people that I was acquaintance with (the door guy at my gym had a family member get murdered)
Lets say we are all criminals. If the cops interrogate you, or ask you to complete an interview you should do it and have a story already rehearsed.
Many times the cops have no clue who the suspect of the crime is without an informant, or witness. If you refuse to speak to the cops, or ask for a lawyer they are going to immediately suspect you of being involved, and will then focus their investigation on you.
All that being said....the easiest way to not get in trouble is not commit any crimes in the first place.
I'm not sure what you MEANT to post but the above is really, well, dumb.
Have a "story already rehearsed". That's what guilty people do. If you're innocent, get a ****ing lawyer and tell the truth. Do you have any idea how many completely innocent people get absolutely ****ed by cops trying to close a case??
Yelnick,
I want you to reread what I wrote....especially this:
"Lets say we are all criminals. "
My hypothetical situation is one where we are all guilty criminals....not innocent people.
If you lawyer up, and the cops have no suspects they are going to immediately suspect you of doing the crime.
They will then focus their investigation on you...and if a city funded PD focuses on you they will find something that will incriminate you.
Its really easy to be a Monday morning quarterback and sit back and just state "always have a lawyer".
Many criminals get away with crimes because they can interview with the police very well. Police refer to them as people that "have been through the system"
Sorry, Kellso. But you're just doubling down.
Not a chance in hell I'm talking to the cops about anything more than a traffic ticket without a lawyer.
okay....and if im a homicide detective investigating a whodonit
and I have no idea who did the crime....once you lawyer up YOU are going to become the focus my investigation.
I am going to subpoena your cell phone records, facebook and social media activity. Im going to start asking your friends and neighbors about your activities and what kind of person you are.
If I have the power of the government backing me it won't be that hard to find something that ties you to the crime.
Many crimes that go unsolved for long periods of time are that way because the perpetrator gave a convincing story to the detectives investigating the case.
Years later the case breaks open because of new evidence, or DNA. When they look at past case files in many cases the suspect was someone that was initially interviewed.
If that suspect had initially just said LAWYER he/she would have become the person of interest in that case, instead of just a witness.
An innocent person would want to clear their name....not walk in with a lawyer.
