Comment preview: Stripped? It sounds like the court found two minor things: 1) The questioning ends when you say it ends. If the police are questioning you, and you're not saying anything, then they can continue to question you. If you say that you're not going to answer a ....

Comment preview: If you are questioned by police, it should go like this: Police: "did you steal CPUs and sell them on ebay?" you: "I want a lawyer." Police: "We have proof, including all your ebay/paypal and bank records that you did this!" You: "I want a lawyer." Police: ....

Comment preview: Most fraternal orders of police (we should always be encouraged to use the term "Fraternal Order", I think it helps realize the kind of mentality that police officers have for themselves and their brothers/sisters) have a [48 hour rule](http://lmgtfy.com/? ....

Comment preview: **Important note**: The rights contained in a Miranda warning *must* be explicitly and affirmatively invoked. If you say "I'm invoking my right to counsel" they have to stop questioning you and get you a lawyer. If you say "I think I should talk to a lawye ....

Comment preview: I was in elementary school, got sick, mom performed [asian remedy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gua_sha) to cure my sickness. My mom did this for me on my back, shoulders, neck area, just like the picture in link. This specific Asian remedy leaves marking ....

Comment preview: The grand jury only hears what the DA brings before them. The fact that they chose not to bring charges only tells you what side the DA was on in this case. EDIT: Hijacking my own comment. Yes, it was a tragic accident, but that does not mean there was no ....

Comment preview: >Do not speak to the police, whether you're being arrested or not. If you're being arrested, you have a Fifth Amendment right to not be forced to be a witness against yourself, and if you're not being arrested, **you have no legal obligation to answer q ....

Comment preview: This is a bit different.. this kid wasn't shot by police.. he was questioned by police. According to the police he was uncooperative during the questioning which made him seem more suspect. He didn't say "go talk to my engineering teacher and he'll expla ....

Comment preview: > Assange is not wanted merely for questioning. >He is wanted for arrest. This is only sort of true. The police want to question him, but the only way to achieve this is to issue an European Arrest Warrant. This in no way indicates a level of guilt. ....

Comment preview: Alright story time. A few weeks ago my brother called me to pick him up from school. It was odd, but I agreed. I got there and found out he had been interrogated by the police about have weed at school. Apparently another student overheard him talking ....

Comment preview: OK, serious answer time. **"Do you know how fast you were going?"** This is a loaded question. The police officer may not have a clear reading from their radar gun. If you admit to going even a few km over the limit, you have just admitted to breaking th ....

Comment preview: But virtually every news report on police activity starts out "according to police", the news outlets report as news the press releases from the cops. Generally, the police report "such-and-such happened" and the news outlets report what the police said an ....

Comment preview: Because this is incredibly sensational and anti-police, I'm sure it's on the fast track to the front page. I'd like to take this opportunity to say **post sources, not YouTube videos. Video production is designed to manipulate**. Also, this is from RT, whi ....

Comment preview: My wife was held and questioned by security at her former employer. They were investigating theft of hotel property. I was scheduled to pick her up at 10:00pm. By 11:00pm I went in asked what the holdup was. They lied and stalled. Midnight rolls around and ....

Comment preview: That is not what happened. Read the article more carefully. The police tricked an 11-year-old girl, in the middle of the night, still wearing the clothing she had been assaulted in the day before, into "admitting" that one of the men she accused was not p ....

Comment preview: I was once talking to a taxi driver who told me that he picked up a young girl from her (apparent) house. When she got in the cab she was obviously drunk and in hysterics crying. He asked her what was wrong and she refused to tell him at first but after s ....

Comment preview: Good question. I live in a rural area that's very conservative Christian. You don't question the police or military, men in uniform are infallible and heroes by default. If you ended up in jail you probably deserved it regardless of circumstance. And like ....

Comment preview: It doesn't matter. As an EMT, If a cop starts asking me questions about what drugs my patient was on or was in possession of while he or she is suffering from a medical emergency, ( which they never have ) , I would tell that police officer to leave me the ....

Comment preview: Susan Simpson is doing the sort of work I've been waiting for someone to do since Episode 4 - she doesn't detract from or spoil the podcast, she really complements it. No criticism of SK, though: the analytical work done here is just not possible in the po ....

Comment preview: As a former police officer, I will offer the flip side. I have no skin in the game anymore, and generally have a mistrust for the government, but take this for what you feel it is worth. I have seen uncounted occasions where talking to the police has helpe ....

Comment preview: This is a complicated area of the law that you have gotten into. Oddly, the complexity arises not from the jurisprudence itself, which has been rather consistent over a the last century, but rather because of common misunderstandings about the law. The law ....

Comment preview: Edit now that I have some character space: *Please reply below with correct info if you know better than me.* You still have all the basic rights due to the duty of care that the shcool has for you. No one can break the law by raping, murdering, assaulting ....

Comment preview: It would seem nobody wants to ELI5 this one. I saw an excellent post from a sheriff's deputy about this a while back, and I'll try to summarize it here from what I can remember. So basically... it's like this. If you're being pulled over by the police, rem ....

Comment preview: A few of my clients are homeless (I'm a licensed mental health professional) and I've heard tons of survival strategies. Always keep your car as neat and clean as you can. Store as much as you can in your trunk and put the bed linens and any clothes away ....
