Maybe the title of this could have been a little more informative like "don't talk to the police" but I like the 1960 reference when life seemed a little simpler.."...
Well here is one of the most salient pieces of advice I have ever received and it is simple....... Never ever talk to the police if they are acting as POLICY officers. It's a piece of advice they even give you if they kidnap you (Here I mean unlawful arrest, that is any detention without firm conviction you have broken the LAW and remember I said LAW)
In part of their blurb e POLICY officer actually says "you have the right to remain silent" then say "anything you do say can be used AGAINST you" clever eh! Used AGAINST YOU, that's right and if taken to court it CAN NOT be used in your defence. Sneaky, well by now you will be conversant with statutory regulation and the fact it is not in your favour.
If you say NOTHING to the police then you can NOT admit where you were, what you were doing or whom you were with. The police try to put your deeds and feelings onto their version of events and place you at the scene of derive motive. By saying nothing you are helping your defence. To lace you at the scene or to give you motive the police MUST PROVE you did it. Unless they have physical proof of your involvement the best defence is to say nothing. The POLICY officer will tell you that you are not helping (yourself) when in fact you are doing just that.
The are a couple of great videos about this on YouTube, search don't talk to cops. One is by a Harvard law professor and the other a police officer and they both say the same........ Say NOTHING.
It is up to the police to prove guilt, if you have done nothing then give them nothing. If on the other hand you are guilty then admit it.
However remember that statutues a just contracts and we have not agreed to them and they can not prove we have but if you have caused harm or loss then this is a crime and RECOMPENCE is due.
