John Oliver discusses the tactics that can make police interrogations so damaging, particularly for the innocent, and why he’s more of a Lorelai than a Rory.

If you think the police are the problem then you are seriously mental. They do what they are ALLOWED to do. Who is in charge of the guide lines and regulations. We have a dem pres amd a dem house. Nobody is doing dik. Go fkim fugure
ReplyCops lie so much they actually believe their lies. If they see a cop doing something bad, and they are being recorded, they will say they didn’t see anything.
ReplyI don’t remember this in Brooklyn Nine-Nine :/
ReplyAnd cops wonder why the public hates them…
ReplyA cop says hello to me and I say LAWYER.
Reply3 months ago, I watched an RTE documentary series called Crimes & Confessions about how Irish police beat and tortured confessions out of civilians through the 70’s and 80’s and for sure, people can confess to things they did not do.
ReplySo you are saying that an officer can gaslight me into admitting something that I didn’t do in hours and hours of intimidation. I think I am going to always get a lawyer.
ReplyMy felony was because the cops said they will arrest all my family if I don’t confess. I was at a college party that got out of hand. I wasn’t part of the crime but was aware and someone who was part of it said it was me and I didn’t know police could lie yet. I thought my family was in danger so I protected them.
After that I did real crime feeling I was owed. Got away with everything too. Don’t worry. I spent two years in prison for no reason already. My crimes don’t equal that
ReplyTim Meadows and Michael Torpey are fucking treasures.
ReplyFull documentation of interrogation in duplicate for both sides on read only media, no physical/psychological torture, no lies by police, no revealing information known only by investigators & perpetrator to the investigatee, and the presence of a lawyer from start to finish. Anything less is unacceptable.
ReplyShould show the scene from “the wire” where they told a suspect the printer was a lie detector.
ReplyI think a major problem we have as a society is assuming people who are arrested are immediately guilty. Like John says, a lot of it stems from crime dramas where the police make one arrest, often on “gut instinct,” and it is confirmed that th ed person arrested IS guilty. Another thing I often see is the “bad” characters almost always lawyer up, as if using your right to a lawyer is a sign of guilt. That’s fundamentally not true.
ReplyPrivate prisons have to get their funding somehow, don’t they?
ReplyIt’s tragic that some people will go to the police alone and speak willingly just because they underestimate what could potentially happen just because they know they’re innocent and think that invoking the rights to a lawyer could make them look guilty.
ReplyI would like to point out that in meta-physics the act of deception is no less negative and causes no less harm to ones soul then the act of wanton murder. Cops who think they are doing no wrong by telling lies are certainly evil and beyond all redemption.
