If you were to do a survey, I bet anything that the majority of people, who don’t parse every word, would interpret that statement as “jails being full of innocent people”.
And “money” is not the root of all evil, Rather, THE LOVE OF MONEY is a root of all kinds of evil.

But the point is really moot. He was not making a Big Fat Claim. He was trying to drive home the point that there are a lot of innocent people in prison who are there because they thought that if they were just honest and shared everything they would be fine.
I may have the advantage of having seen his video at least ten times. I understand clearly his points and am convinced, based on his anecdotal evidence alone, that if I’m being questioned about anything that is of any significance, and criminal, I need to lawyer up before I say a word.

But I do agree that his advice on how to deal with the police in case you ever get stopped is valid and I will take it to heart.
“... if I’m being questioned about anything that is of any significance, and criminal, I need to lawyer up before I say a word.”
That is true, but you had better be damn sure you know the fine line between innocuous and significant.
