In my personal experience with an FBI interview, I was told exactly that.

I wanted to record it. They said if I did, there would be no interview.

[HiTech RedNeck]

That’s a good way at least to kibosh the interview....

[riverrunner]

Yes the best way to shut a FBI agent down is to have a recorder.

Most leo agencies dont want to be recorded ...not just fbi

IRS often wont talk to you either if you insist on recording them

I know there are plenty of good cops but the system in general is generally f*cked and geared at success via intimidation ...if for one year every single person charged with a crime demanded and went to trial the syatem would completely collapse...which leads me to the conclusion we have far too many laws.

They said if I did, there would be no interview.

So did you tell them you still wanted to record it?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep, that’s what usually happens. They don’t want anything that can effectively counter their “official” transcript.

[Nifster]

Oh well

“I wanted to record it. They said if I did, there would be no interview.”

I’d be okay with that.
