"Don't Talk to the Police" by Professor James Duane

[Toma]

Criminal law professor James Duane from Regent University in Virginia brings forth another laudable effort to pound it in our thick skulls to never, ever talk to the police. Not even if we are innocent. It's a well-argumented speech, with real life examples, and features an intervention by a detective describing police tactics for fooling people into talking and spinning their words out of context. So when you have kids, instead of teaching them "Never talk to strangers", be more specific: "Never talk to strangers, ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE COPS, AND YOU DON'T HAVE YOUR LAWYER PRESENT"

Of course, the advice applies to the USA and other countries where suspects have the right to remain silent. This may not be true in your jurisdiction. You should check your local laws.

Even more revealing is the reply by Officer Bruch, and props to him for speaking on this.

FuBai - I noticed you're from the UK. Be advised that the right to remain silent is not absolute in your country. You should check with a lawyer, but here is what Wikipedia has to say:

Thanks for the info but no worries as I already knew - it's in the rights read out to you on arrest "if you do not mention something which you later come to rely on in court then this may be used as evidence against you etc..."
