My husband has interesting policies for interviewing FBI agents.
Um, I’ll make it easier. Never talk to law enforcement. “I understand you’re doing your job, and I am willing to fully cooperate. It would be irresponsible of me to do so before speaking to my attorney.”
7 minutes video? how about short summary sentence to post here?
It would seem to me that one could have a standard video recording sign on the front of the building notifying that all occupants are under video and audio surveillance. Then have a camera and audio recording of the meeting without having to produce the tape recording machine. That way you would have the meeting, record it accurately and then you can dispute what ever form was produced by the agent.
I suspect that there is some local or federal law that would prohibit that particular action. Any legal eagles want to comment?
18 USC 1001: it is a FELONY to not tell the truth to a government employee. But there is no symmetrical requirement that they not lie to you or penalty if they do.
Another thing about “lying to a federal employee”. If you tell them something you believe to be true which turns out later to be untrue, they can charge you.
If you present the FBI agent with the public servant questionnaire, they MUST fill it out in its entirety.
