If you and your friend Tommy are at the scene of a crime,(say someone robbed a food store) and you are just innocent bystanders,but a certain "person" arrests you and Tommy and take you down to the "persons" workplace and interrogates you and Tommy in separate rooms,and the person says reads you your rights to be silent and to get a lawyer and then says, "Tommy told me that you and he robbed the food store together,plus I have witnesses that say you and Tommy robbed the food store,is this true? I also have evidence that you and he did this. If you confess to this,I will let you go and you can go home free." You might say "It was Tommy who robbed the food store!" Dont say this. The word "Tommy" can be edited to say "Me."(the "my" sounds a lot like "me") and you can get convicted on the store robbery even though you are innocent!!

You are supposed to say,"I cannot answer/say anything without a lawyer present." It is VERY likely that Tommy didnt ever say that you and he robbed the store,and this "person" is legally able to lie to you to get a confession/rat on Tommy (you are the one who will get into trouble,not Tommy,and vice versa) He could have told Tommy the same thing about you too). So don't fall for this "persons" trick.

Cops lie all the time.. They dont like it when we lie and then they turn around the do the same thing!!

COPS SUCK!!

Yes your certainly right!

Re: Dont Fall For This Trick!
 

Why censor the word cop or police? It isn't a taboo and I absolutely hate the idea of shitting on cops. I'm not arguing that bad cops don't exist, but most of these men and women in uniform are here to serve and protect our community and they do it within limitations of the law. When they take a suspect or witness to an interrogation room, they use slick psychology. This sure as hell doesn't make them bad.

Innocent until proven guilty! If anyone has a problem with the police, then they should ask themselves why. Is it them, or is it you?

God bless my cousins and CoCIL. Bless the Blue, when it's warranted.
