I love the point that even if you tell the truth it can hurt you.
Cops can’t mis-remember what you said, if you didn’t say anything. :)
And where the Detective said, “I can’t talk as fast as he does”.
I’ve watched that video before. If the cops can just make stuff up and say that you said it - how does saying you won’t talk to them change that?
Also - what about being a witness to a crime? If you see a crime and can give a description to catch the bad guys obviously I would like to do that. But then does one run the risk of getting tied into it.
“That guy that you were talking to - he was outside pumping gas when the two robbers came in. They looked at him and he returned their look. I think he was in on it.”
