5 Tips for How to Talk to Cops Like a Lawyer!

[@wombatdk]

Remember: "Anything you say CAN and WILL be used against you". Nothing you say will ever be used in your defense. Ever.

[@younglove3362]

"I want a lawyer." P.S. Don't be scared of their threats. It's not illegal to lie.

[@billtate6962]

Plus they're LEGALLY allowed to LIE to you....which is why they try to get you to talk by telling you "we're just trying to get your side of the story".....no, no you're not... you're trying to get me to trip myself up and say something you will 100% twist and use against me.

[@1voluntaryist]

If the goal is to get an arrest, because a "stop" is a waste of time without one, then the incentive is to deceive a potential victim (citizen), even if that means to induce a crime where NONE existed. I was stopped, questioned, without a warning that ANY LIE, no matter how justified, inconsequential, was a felony when speaking to a fed. I misted the agent, believing I had "a right to privacy". Eventually, I didn't. A forced search found I had twice the dollars I claimed. So, what? Nothing. The amount wasn't the crime. It was the lie about the amount. This happened 44 years ago, costing me a felony conviction, 2 year sentence, suspended with 3 years probation, $2,000 fine, and confiscation of $21,000 plus $10,000 in fees, = $33K total. Still trust LEOs?

[@00kt86]

The bad thing about clamming up is that the other guy has been telling the cops it's all your fault. Now you're in cuffs waiting in jail for a lawyer.

[@wombatdk]

@@00kt86 Problem is, it doesn't matter what you say. At that point the cops already see you as guilty, nothing you say will change this. You could show them video evidence of your innocence and they'll still arrest you.

[@knghtbrd]

Bottom line: If a cop thinks you're guilty, you can't change that by talking. And if they ever start acting like your friend, you've already dug a hole, Stop Digging! Remember, cops managed to torture a disabled kid until he admitted to killing someone who wasn't dead, and continued to assert his guilt for SOME crime long after he was demonstrably shown to be innocent. They can make anyone say anything in time, and they're allowed to lie about almost everything, even to the point of fabricating evidence in order to try and get you to say something. The only winning move is simply do not play.

Perfectly sound advice. I watched a couple of firearms trainers talk about handling a shooting self defense situation. Their advice 1. As soon as it's safe to do so dial 911 and report the incident making sure you tell them "I reacted because I believed my life was in danger." He who calls 911 first has the advantage. 2. When cops show up comply with their instructions but if asked questions Ask for your lawyer and invoke your 5th amendment rights.

I'm not a lawyer, but I have heard that after invoking your 5th amendment rights you say NOTHING more. Nothing. Even if they offer you a coffee and you say "yes" or "no", courts have interpreted that as you waiving your 5th amendment right to remain silent unless you say "no, and I continue to exercise my right to remain silent", or something to that effect. It's ridiculous how biased the "justice" system is toward LEOs. Also, the police can legally lie to you at any time.

[@selfdo]

That's not QUITE true. You can decline or accept a cup of coffee, and even ask for cream and/or sugar. What you CAN'T do is answer any further questions, nor candidly "splain" things. That would give the Court reason to believe you didn't really invoke your 5A right to remain silent. Remember, "Miranda" only applies once you've been arrested. The counselor's advice is so that you won't be, HOPEFULLY!

Attorney here. From my experience, it’s really the casual leading/conversational discussions from cops that get most people. Learning point below: I got pulled over not too long ago - frustrating situation with other drivers. The cop saw it all. When he got to my window, the first thing he said “look, you don’t even have to explain, I saw it all a bit behind you; car X did ___ and car Y did ____, I get why you did _(illegal act)__”. Most people would be like “RIGHT?! I only did _(illegal act)__ to get around that car! Don’t write me a ticket for that.” But that’s admission of guilt right there, even though the cop is empathizing. My response to the above was “okay”. I said it in an empathetic tone, partially sad and a bit drawn out. It simply acknowledges that the cop said what he did. Dealing with cops like an attorney is having that filter to not admit guilt that is important. Choose your words wisely - the less the better. I won’t fight the ticket, but it’s important to really filter yourself. The goal is NOT to talk your way out of the situation - the goal is to preserve as many ways out in court. If the ticket is BS, then be compliant and court will solve it. Think ahead! The more you talk, the less “out” you have in court.

this exact situation happened to me, one odd night around 1993! Apropos of nothing, late one night I was in my apt in Van Nuys Calif. Sometime after midnight I hear a knock on the door. Through the peephole I see some young dude, age maybe 20, AND a young police officer, neither of whom I ever saw before (both men were black - I'm white - but I'd have still done the same thing whether those two guys had been white, red, or yellow). There was NO good reason for any strangers, police or not, to be knocking on my door that late. And nothing about this situation seemed right to me! Two strangers - banging on my door - at 1am - for no apparent reason , and no explanation - unless I opened that door! This all seemed dodgy as hell from the get-go somehow and I had maybe 3 seconds to decide. But caution won over curiosity that night, so ultimately I just DIDN'T open the door. Finally they just went away. I don't think I'll EVER know who they were or why they were there, but I'll always remember that judgment call I had to make.

A 25 year police veteran with a YT channel (Ethical Preparedness) says if you are in a self defense situation and the cops come the first thing you tell them is "I was in fear for my life" and then that you want to go to the hospital. DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS. Then while you are there, call a lawyer and don't talk to the cops until your lawyer is present. He said that after such a situation, your mind is scrambled and you will NOT remember all the details and as this lawyer said, any deviation from the original will be looked at as a lie or cover-up. Cops, when involved in a shooting are given 3 nights sleep (you rarely sleep the first night) before they give their report on the incident. This gives them time to relax and recall fully what happened in a calm manner. I believe it should be the same for anyone involved in a self defense action for the same reason.

25 years ago mom dies. I'm in the house 7 days later putting things together and doing the sad duties. BANG BANG BANG on the front door. ding dong ding dong. I come up from the basement and as I get to the open front door (I left it open to provide some fresh air for the house--mom didn't believe in fresh air) there is a cop hiding behind the wall and just peeking his head out. I continue on and open the screen door to find 3 cops on the porch and 2 more in the front yard hiding further back. And before I have even said "wassup?" another comes sprinting across the front yard. Turns out, a friendly and helpful neighbor called 911 to report the front door was open and the lady had just died and nobody should be in the house. Because obviously what happens when the owner of a home dies is it sits empty forever until it collapses, right? Cop at the door did just fine. Ultimately they'd sent at least 8 cops. He (tried to) get on the radio to call 'em off but was blocked by lots of excited chatter as I hear "I've hopped the back fence and am getting in position at the back door" and a couple more and FINALLY this cop gets a chance at the radio and shouts "GET OFF THE FREQUENCY! STAND DOWN! 10-whatever, 10-whatever". He then ranted about how this is NOT how you're supposed to be using a radio in a 911 burglary situation--what if shots had been fired or an officer needed help and you clowns are telling each other what tree you're hiding behind? So that was kinda fun. But yeah, gotta love the uninformed neighbors calling 911 to "help".

To which, you answer, "Do you have a WARRANT?" If they do, they have to SHOW it to you, and at least, they're not just knocking your door down and barging in, going full, "Hut! Hut! Hut!", and it must be specific, describing what (or whom) is sought. So, for example, if they're looking for your estranged wife, and they believe that she's at your place (happened to me, years ago, but they didn't have a warrant, the garage door was up, and they just barged in, and cornered me in the kitchen while they looked for her), they can't open up your medicine cabinets or start pulling cabinet drawers that obviously no person could hide in. If they don't, not only don't you have to let them in, you don't even have to open the door and answer, and you SHOULDN'T, as, if they don't just barge in, they often play that "foot in the threshold" game. Any encounter at your door, other than serving a search and/or arrest warrant, or, much less common, "exigent" circumstances, like hot pursuit of a fleeing felon, or probable cause that any delay will give opportunity to destroy evidence (i.e. flushing narcotics down the toilet), is considered a CONSENSUAL "Knock and Talk", i.e. one that, IN THEORY, you can terminate at any time, no different than engaging some Girl Scouts going door-to-door selling Thin Mints, but in PRACTICE, ends when the cops WANT it to end, often with a search and/or arrest. In fact, you can lawfully ignore the "Police, open up!" REQUEST, it is NEVER a lawful command! What you risk, of course, is that the cops will break down your door, and subdue you AGGRESIVELY, often inflicting gratuitous VIOLENCE ("Stop Resisting"!) because you DARED defy them! In all too many cases, the cops have come in, GUNS DRAWN, and TRIGGER HAPPY, with TRAGIC result. But, yes, if they don't have that warrant nor an exigent circumstance to breach your home, then you can LAWFULLY IGNORE them. Whether you can PRACTICALLY ignore them is problematic. And who SEZ the one saying "Police, open up!" IS a cop? How many home invasions by THUGS are facilitated with that lie? Including, of course, those with BADGES.

"They must leave if no warrants or exigent circumstances. They will violate this in 99% of cases and stay there questioning you as if a 911 call gives them absolute power to violate your rights. In addition they will threaten you with arrest, a warrantless arrest on private property--look it up. But stay strong. And then repeat over and over invoke your demand to leave the property, invoke 5th and that you do not consent to any searches. And as one might want to, no verbal sparring with the cops. Even the most stupid of cops will win because they can lie to you.

[@kurtfrederiksen5538]

Instead of just asking them to leave your property would it not be better to tell them that without a warrant or exigent circumstances they are trespassing and need to leave? Repeat this a few times, then call the 911 and report a group of armed trespassers behaving aggressively towards you and ask that they be removed. I suppose you could say these people are claiming to be officers but they have no warrant or exigent circumstances when phoning in the call as well.

[@Auggies1956]

If you are observed or there is a witness to some violation, and they have probable cause to investigate, your being on your property doesn't keep an officer from performing an investigation.

@@Auggies1956 Basically any 911 call allows the cops on your property without a search warrant. And then the cop can do a warrantless arrest if they have probable cause. So by extension a cop can enter your home if they have probable cause of a crime without a search warrant.

It's better to never come out of your home, voluntarily. Yes, you have the same expectation of privacy in its "curtilage", but, in practicality, you've less means to prevent an unjustified arrest if you're inside your home, under the "Castle Doctrine", than if you're even immediately OUTSIDE it. If, for example, you're casually having a beer and a smoke on your front porch, and a cop walks up to your stoop and asks to speak to you, politely decline and ask, "Am I being detained?" If the answer is "No", then turn around, and GO INSIDE, w/o another word.

The last time that the Police were called on me was a noise complaint for a party that I had. I am a bartender, and the party was all co-workers coming after the restaurant closed. People still dressed in uniforms, shirt and tie for bar and wait staff etc. I cannot understate how that impacted the encounter when I opened the door and was still dressed well enough for Formal Night on a cruise ship. My suggestion is to have a dress code for your party guests. When the Police enter (or look in from doorway) they will be comfortable with just a warning rather than further questions. We've all thought "don't you have more important crimes to solve?" and if everybody is dressed sharply they will feel that without you saying it.

When you ask if you’re free to go, the cop usually evades the question by saying something like “I just need to get your side of the situation.” Or “ I’m just trying to understand what you were doing.” They seldom answer a direct question directly.

[@marw1920]

Lawyers agree, never talk to police. They warn us that answering questions is one of the worst things you can possibly do with any police interaction. The reality of our police state is you’ll never just get to say what you want to say without being rudely interrupted and any statement you make will always be interpreted as suspect marked by duplicitous and deceptive narrative in reports. What starts as you providing exculpatory evidence to police to prove innocence - always turns into a interrogation in attempt to get us in torcher-cuffs for mythical contempt of cop, where we're frequently locked away with more of our citizens than any other nation in the world inside the prison for profit pipeline. Once a precariat is targeted like low hanging fruit, we're ill-equipped with the resources necessary to survive in a broken judicial system where judges routinely prosecute from the bench and prosecutorial misconduct is systemic. This is by design because the political elite controlled by powerful police unions know voters manufacture consent through cognitive dissonance. A shocking endorsement of the disturbance, order followers feel when their beliefs and actions are inconsistent and contradictory. History has amply demonstrated how this will end up - when unlawful orders for papers are no longer merely inconveniences, but inevitably reveal that duplicity in final solution.

[@MrWebster]

There is a well known figure in the gun community who is giving very questionable advice about talking to the cops. He is an ex cop and who basically wants you to assume the cops on a self defense act are good guys looking for the truth.

[@MsLastof4]

Underrated comment. Don't expect to find this on landing page. Many civil rights advocates, scholars and lawyers censor each other when discussing the elephant in the room. Repeated police misconduct is reaching critical mass in court of public opinion because lofty and aspirational legal ideals like “Ubi jus ibi remedium - that claim there is a right, are no longer a remedy. Pulitzer mainstream journalists have been reporting for decades, "the principle of equality before the law has been effectively abolished. Instead, a two-tiered system of justice ensures that the country's police and officials are virtually immune from prosecution, licensed to act without restraint, while the politically powerless are imprisoned with greater ease and in greater numbers than in any other country in the world." No longer just a few journalists, a lot of us now worry, 'the continued exploitation by an unchecked elite, and the rising levels of incarceration and insecurity, will unleash a legitimate rage among the innocent. They will see through the lies and propaganda of our justice institutions. Refused a remedy in court where “qualified immunity smacks of unqualified impunity, letting public officials duck consequences for bad behavior" - they will demand retribution. They will turn to those who express the hatred they feel for the powerful and the institutions, now shams, that were designed to give them a voice. They will seek not reform but destruction of a system that has betrayed them.' There is no justification to censor this critical debate. "The answer to injustice is not to silence the critic, but to end the injustice."

One time a few years ago I was waiting on a mechanic to fix my vehicle. I was walking around the general area of the shop while also talking on the phone. That phone conversation developed into a heated argument that involved yelling and profanity. In the course of this argument I walked by a cop who was watching traffic. At first he didn’t do anything but a few minutes later after I was off the phone he rolled up when I was leaning against the wall of the mechanic shop and started asking questions. I told him the phone conversation was none of his business. I also told him that my vehicle is in the shop I was at because he asked me why I was “loitering” I told him I wasn’t planning on hurting anyone when he eluded to that. Then he made what I deam to be an offensive comment by asking if I wanted him to call “the short bus”. I’m guessing he meant the little bus that the elderly use but I didn’t like the way he asked. At that point I said “have a nice day” turned around and walked into the mechanic shop. That was the end of it. You can end a consensual encounter with police anytime, for any reason, and in any way you want (you do have to be nice, just walk away if you want to).

[@xeroprotagonist]

@@JoanRuthazer in lots of places they also use those short buses as a kind of subsidized taxi service, usually for elderly, disabled, or mentally ill people, I'd guess the cop was trying to see if he was mentally ill or in a group home or halfway house, and find out where he lived. He probably didn't believe the guy was talking on the phone and thought he was just a crazy person wandering around and yelling obscenities. When I was in my first year of college I got rear-ended on the freeway and my car was in the shop for a few weeks, and because I was a student with a low income I was able to get driven between my house and the college (about 20 miles) for $1 each way on the county short bus.

I would make one change to the advice, while staying silent after asking for a lawyer is good advice,I feel the better thing to say (or not say) if/when the police continue to ask questions is: "I assert my 6th amendment rights and need a lawyer to answer questions, and assert my 5th amendment right to remain silent, am I free to go?" I feel this statement is better than silence as it re-iterates the invocation of your rights (so the officer cannot claim they did not hear), and establishes that this is not a consensual conversation. Establishing that it is not consensual conversation may be useful later if the police hold you for an unreasonable amount of time. As he said they may be waiting for a drug dog or backup, and if I recall correctly, most jurisdictions police are only able to detain you for a reasonable amount of time for the reason they stopped you (provided they do not have any reasonable suspicion of anything else). By showing this is not a consensual conversation if they do not have reasonable suspicion and still use a drug dog/etc. you may be able to get evidence thrown out or have a case against the officer afterwards.

There is a SCOTUS decision, (can't be bothered to look it up, saw a video on it here on Hampton Law I think) that says that while you can remain silent, police can assume PC based on your silence. So it's weird but in order to EXERCISE your right to remain silent, you have to BREAK YOUR SILENCE at least once to inform police that you are doing so. In other words, you have to SAY that you are exercising your right to remain silent, that you are pleading the Fifth. Actually BEING AND REMAINING SILENT isn't enough to communicate your intention to be silent and can be used against you as, for example, probable cause to detain or investigate you further.

A FEW OF THINGS TO ADD: A: Your information is incomplete regarding passenger identification. There are least two reasons why a passenger would have to identify. 1) If the passenger was the reason for the stop. (No seatbelt, littering, etc) 2) If it was discovered while during the first stop, that the passenger was breaking the law, (plain view: drugs, drug paraphernalia, no seatbelt, etc.) B: You may be told to exit the vehicle. If you are commanded to do so - you MUST do so. This has already been established as unacceptable thing for the police to do in any situation where RAS was established to initiate the stop. That doesn't mean that you have to talk to them and it's important that you ask them what what the RAS is as well as the reason why they want you to exit the vehicle. C: ALWAYS record you're interaction. D: If you disagree or feel anything is unwarranted ALWAYS voice that you contest their reasons as being a violation of your rights AND that you are complying under duress. This establishes that you are not willingly yielding your rights. Remain calm, cool, respectful and exhibit self control.

You don't have a right to "remain silent." You have a right against self-incrimination. In many states you must self-identify after seizure or you will be charged with a crime. This nation is nuts.

In Ohio (2921.29) you must self-identify after being detained. I live in Georgia where we can actually remain silent because we never have to self-identify.
