"You Have the Right to Remain Innocent" (James Duane)

[@jaberwock4568]

His video “Never talk to the police” is THE BEST advice ever given. It’s 45 mins long, but worth the time to watch. I highly recommend all citizens watch that video after watching this video.

[@razorbeard6970]

The video is 45 minutes long but, he doesn't talk for the entire runtime. It's important to note that his talk is 22 or so minutes and then everything he said is backed up 100 percent by a law enforcement subject matter expert. The LEO reinforces the myriad ways you can be found out, guilty or not guilty. With that said, he made a point to stress a case where he knew a suspect wasn't the guy, had enough evidence to convict but let him go because he knew he wasn't the guy. In that one portion he absolutely lied through his teeth. PD don't care if they get the right guy or not as long as they get a guy and it doesn't blow up in their faces. You remaining silent and invoking the 5th can be the biggest reason why you're either not convicted or charged.

[@Crippler74]

Absolutely 100% agree! The video “Never Talk To the Police” is amazing. As is mentioned in the other comment, everything that is covered in the video about why you shouldn’t talk to the police is backed up by an actual police investigator. The investigator even lays out how the police can legally lie, mislead and trick people into admitting guilt if they speak to the cops.

[@chevelle1]

@@razorbeard6970 I’ve watched that video numerous times, shared with everyone that’ll listen. I wish the comment section weren’t closed on it though. You can see the arrogance and ego in that cop who spoke. They really believe they are above us. The ones that don’t, don’t last long in law enforcement. I’ve always said, it’s the police culture that’s the underlying problem. No amount of reform will matter until the cancerous, corrupt, oath to the brotherhood above the Constitution, sociopath magnet police culture is completely flushed.

[@razorbeard6970]

@@chevelle1 The issue which is better connected to this video is that separation from practical realities exists on all levels from PD to the judges on the Supreme Court. They have made decisions that make a large impact on enforcement and effectively make case law that causes unvoted on (from the legislature) revision to rightfully passed law. The problem arises when these aren't Constitutionally harmonic. The reason they make these decisions is because they are disconnected from the everyday reality most Americans face with these legal issues. The disconnect is felt differently by the justices as it is by PD and for different reasons. It's there nonetheless.

Mr. Duane, I want to thank you for your videos. I was falsely accused. I asserted my rights politely but firmly repeating I would like an attorney, tho I had no real idea what I was accused of. It made the police angry. Tried to knock me down. Sat me in a car with handcuffs digging my wrists with my own weight for around 3 hours. I remained silent. I hired a attorney, demanded a jury and was fully acquitted. The crimes I was accused of never in fact happened but were fiction. The thing is what they should say is anything you possibly say will be taken out of context and written in police reports to convict you. Anyway, if not for you I would be in prison rotting right now instead of enjoying my family, running my business, and if nothing else petting my dogs resting on my couch. Thank you sir. I am forever grateful for that video with excellent advice that preserved my family and life.

@@fauxfox7209 6:53 That's not how any of this works. Of course the police will suspect you if you refuse to talk. They can think whatever the hell they want. Be quiet. Especially if you're facing an accusation that requires a court trial. The 5th amendment exists for a reason and in the case of this comment saved an innocent man from going to prison. YOU, yes even you, no matter how far fetched it sounds, can incriminate yourself in a crime you've never even heard of even if you're as innocent as a baby. You need to watch the video again or pay attention. Do not talk to the police.

I am much stronger today. I survived a attack of which all but about 1/2 of one percent fail survive. I did nothing wrong. I followed good advice. About 99.5% would have taken a plea in fear, taken a bench trial, been falsely convicted under the attack I suffered. The salem pd has no honor or integrity with fists in the air on knees with antifa. The assistant DA is a coward who fled the room in disgrace knowing the jury did not buy the lies he was attempting to pass. He stepped out and had another listen to the jury findings. Coward.

[@joemamr710]

I had a similar experience when my best friend went missing. He had recently gotten into drugs pretty heavily and suddenly disappeared one day without warning, car still parked outside his house. So I reported him kissing, and of course, I wanted to find him since he had been my best friend for 20 years, even though he had hit hard times, he always did right by me and he was a good person. Anyway, big mistake. Now all of a sudden I’m involved in some drug investigation, as a suspect, despite not knowing any of these people. I’m being attacked for hanging out with a “methhead”, clearly I’d be involved in drugs or else why would I hang out with such an individual(who had just gotten into drugs a few months before). The only thing that put an end to it was they finally found his body, with a self inflicted gunshot wound. The worst part is they never cared about finding him, they wanted to bust some dealers and nab someone for murder. They spent way more time investigating that aspect than looking for him.

[@mahna_mahna]

His book boils down to many reasons why you only want to: 1) Tell police who you are 2) Tell police what you are _currently_ doing (not what you have done or what you are about to do) 3) When questioned further, say "I want a lawyer." Nothing else, just that. Don't reword it or put any "please" or "if you don't mind" or "I think" on it or anything else. 4) Repeat it until the lawyer arrives (either one you've hired or a free public defender which they have to provide), then follow your lawyer's advice. If you want to know they _why_ of all that, read the book. It's pretty exhaustive. But if at this point you trust him to have done his research, simply follow those four rules.

[@karlbassett8485]

Ordered the book. In the UK this advice still applies, but with a few variations. Firstly, our police are not allowed to lie during an interview. Things like "Your friend already confessed and admitted you did it" are right out. And they have to read you your right to silence the moment they have reason to believe you might have committed an offence. On the other hand they are allowed to tell the court you chose to remain silent. The best solution is to excercise that right from the very start. If you answer a bunch of questions and then suddenly choose to remain silent when they ask you a tricky question, and then in court you come up with a convenient answer to that question, the prosecution is allowed to suggest to the jury that that is mighty convenient. Stay silent from the start and that goes away. /Not a lawyer. Not legal advice.

[@Nippleless_Cage]

Great advice even though you are not a lawyer. Thanks from a fellow Brit

[@HighChancellorAdam]

Actually, in the UK, the jury could reach "adverse inferences" (basically take as a negative fact against you) if you choose to remain silent as to some fact that you later rely upon in court, or if you remain silent when asked why you are in a certain place (e.g. where you were arrested,) or how you came to be in possession of certain items (e.g. stolen goods.) In the US, there is an absolute right to remain silent by invoking the 5th amendment right against self-incrimination and demanding that a lawyer be furnished.

[@awesomecooly123]

@Charles White You got it backwards bud, in the UK you can be guilty because you were silent, in the US you have no requirement to speak when arrested.

[@TRENCHESandTREADS]

@Charles White What an absurd thought process you have. So, because someone chooses to not talk to people who's job is to manipulate you (the police) it's okay for the jury to decide that you're guilty? "Being a jury member is not about being totally scientific", jesus christ I hope you never end up on a jury, that's like the exact opposite attitude of what you're supposed to do as a jury member. If the evidence points to innocent you're not supposed to then turn around and go "yeah, but I had this gut feeling that he did it because he listened to rock and roll" or some stupid nonsense. God damn, people like you should be barred from reproducing.

[@GMiller75]

Indeed, the right to privacy includes the right to not incriminate oneself and to be left alone, even by the state. This is a fundamental, inalienable and inherent right stemming from natural law but very rarely used. Problem is that most folk do not know their rights and so waive them the first chance they get.

[@zzzzoot]

If you don't want to buy the book, the SCOTUS' new legal requirements regarding the 5th are simply this: "Basically, if you're ever in any trouble with police (no, we don't condone breaking laws) and want to keep your mouth shut, you will need to announce that you're invoking your Fifth Amendment right instead of, you know, just keeping your mouth shut. "Petitioner's Fifth Amendment claim fails because he did not expressly invoke the privilege against self-incrimination in response to the officer's question," reads the opinion from Justice Samuel Alito, which Justice Kennedy and Chief Justice John Roberts backed. Justices Thomas and Scalia had a concurring opinion while the remaining four Supremes dissented." That means, you must say in absolute and firm terms: "I invoke my right to remain silent. I decline to answer any questions.", or "I invoke my right to legal counsel. Please give me a lawyer immediately". If you know this, and watch Duane's viral video, then you basically know everything you need.

[@sdozer1990]

Isn't stating "I will not answer your question" opening your mouth to a police officer? I would suggest simply not opening one's mouth to a police officer much less anybody.

[@LadyHotdogOfTheBun]

sdozer1990 hmmm... stating that you're invoking your right is not talking to police, but rather by announcing it, you're making it absolutely clear that you choose to be silent. It's unfortunate that Justices have created this mess (which begs challenging), based on their individual perception and not on the Constitutional protections afforded to each individual, regardless of circumstances.

[@phatman808]

@@sdozer1990 It's been found by the US Supreme Court that just remaining completely silent is in fact admissible evidence of guilt. So no, you have to explicitly invoke your right to remain silent as above. I don't remember how much James Duane went over that in the video here, but it's a big part of what he writes about.

By the time they organised a piss test it was 4 weeks later. Hypothetically (of course) it takes 48hrs for amphatemine to pass through your system. I had massive pressure to 'confess' before an impeding court martial, telling me they found drugs in my system, although they didn't state which one. They wanted to arrest me for intent to supply, not possession. Surprise, surprise, Army Legal (who function as the Prosecuter) had told the Regiment and the RMP's that there was no legal basis to enter my room based on hear'say. No legal basis = No admissiable evidence. No confession either. Which meant no conviction. I have a nice clean record, work as an accountant and got £7,000 for the hassle.

We mostly plea bargain and their parents pay us quite well even when it is a lost cause because they gave consent to a search or talked to the police.". In other words, the lawyers worry that fewer clients will be out there if people knew their rights. They do not want an informed clientele, but the typical victim that says " Well, I thought the cop would give me a break if I talked"...or " I thought that they would search the car anyway..it makes me look guilty to say no", etc. the they plea bargain and satisfy the one paying their fees that all was done that could be...which is true after all hope is lost due to giving up rights...very few lawyers more concerned about the future and our liberties than making money.

I've been trying to figure out why it's so difficult to ignore a police officer's interrogation (questions). The worst part of all this is, from a young age people have been indoctrinated to answer all questions from figures of authority. Most of us as a child got a smack on the head from a parent or guardian and an angry, "Hey the (teacher / grownup / police officer) is asking you a question, ANSWER HIM." This is deeply indoctrinated behavior and nearly impossible to change, even after reading these horror stories.

You'll find most people who are guilty want no part of a court process. You think an interrogation is the problem! 😆 If you are guilty, the police have evidence against you. Their job is to get a confession to avoid a trial if possible. A lawyer isn't going to wave his magic wand and stop that process from happening. He or she is just going to argue the best case they can & hope you get a reduced sentence, however, that will likely not be possible, due to not answering in an Interrogation.

Going to get it for like $2.50 down from $5 after applying a couple of amazon credits :) I wish I'd seen his first video before being detained for four hours, before trying to talk through another 4 hours with the police to try and assert my innocence. Everything he says about the police's lies and techniques are scary accurate; I was played; how is this even legal for them? I never had any experience with the law before, and never expected to either. I jokingly say that I wish I would have done something so I would have known how the system works before hand. I assume most people learn too late as well. The irony is the back of a lawyer's card telling you to be silent, but by the time you have their card it's too late. Watching his first video in the middle of a pending case was the worst thing to watch after talking for four hours to the police, and the best thing to have finally seen -- although it be too late; it's like watching 10 things not to do before you get on a boat, and you're watching it on the boat already.

Then the detectives say she/he “didn’t act sad enough” or they will say she/he were “over the top with emotion.” Either way they questioned the credibility. Then they find some minor inconsistency, or something the person hid out of embarrassment during the interrogation, and that’s it. No other real evidence gets presented. Then the person is on trial and usually gets convicted. I downloaded this book just now. My kids are teens and I need to know what to tell them for their future benefit.

I remember several years ago a self-defense lawyer explaining the *one* exception he had for "don't talk to the police" -- if you have had to act in self defense, it's important to point out exonerating evidence before it gets lost, wanders off (in the case of eye-witnesses), or otherwise gets destroyed. However, he *did* give a caveat to that advice as well: it's *important* to give that information, ask for a lawyer, and say *nothing else* -- and if you're the type of person to ramble rather than to do *just* that, it's *still* a good idea to say nothing at all but "I need to speak with my lawyer".

The reason I hire a attorney is the same reason I do not captain a ship without training and experience. If I am accused falsely my very life is on the line and have no idea how to win a trial. It is not sufficient to stand be for the jury and repeat I did nothing wrong. I could not navigate the system in filings of documents. A hostile judge and district attorney together would eat my lunch. My new color would have been prison Orange. When your soap box is the whiteness stand and you own the worst seat in the house as the accused your perspective may be different. I can tell you with zero doubt I would be in prison on false claims had I not obtained a experienced attorney. I do understand your argument. The accused and jury have one thing in common the rest do not. What? They are not paid to be there. The accused wants the jury to listen closely. I myself am forever grateful to the jury for looking, listening, and understanding what the claims were, the laws, and bottom line of what was really going on. I was fully acquitted of all charges. It was terrifying. I watched the cowardly district attorney to be excused and a stand in called be for the jury announced the verdicts. The bastard fled.

[@MAKAROVOWNER]

@Hi Lo Hello, you do not know how I felt unless we could swap and you undergo the experience in my boots. So let me give you a brief taste. Dakota was 14. We were called from work to school. He had threatens to kill a school mate girl on the internet. Because we both showed up and they school and police could see how troubled we were they did not arrest him. I backed the schools play and put him to work at home. No remorse from him none. He colluded with a drunken neighbor that hates us while I was at work. Made 11 pages of lies attached to a football. My wife starts taking him to the hospital and they put him in the psyche ward at least twice. I finally realise through finding his hand written notes we are being played, fucked with. Spanked his ads hard with My bare hand. My wife gets in an argument with the neighbor and I tell him to stay away. Coarsely. My wife's birthday I take her to a movie and dinner. Return home to be arrested. During arrest I kept repeating I would like an attorney politely. They try to separate my wife and I and I beg her to stay which she did. Told her I believed they would write statements claiming I said them that I never would. I was cuffed. Led toward the car. Kid is laughing. Bastard accords the street is smirking. I said something to dakota and the cop tells me I can't talk to him. I told him I have the right to remain silent but he has no right to tell me who I can talk to. Then the cop starts shoving hard trying to knock me down. As I try to keep my feet he is looking to build resisting charges and I know it calling him out on it. They kept me in the car with my body weight on the cuffs for at least 3 hours. This was just the beginning of the abuse. 9 months later after I was drained of assets, liberty, courage, wellbeing, respect, honor, understanding..my faith in God was strong. I leaned upon him stepping forward and the jury understood the Real story setting me free. I was fully acquitted. Justice in this country is dead when there is no recourse. The destruction upon others continue. The cops committed perjury. The department covers knowing no one will help me and told me so. You cannot find held with sheriff, state police, or the FBI. No attorney will assist and the click passes another sentence. Meanwhile DHS abuses your family by disregarding the jury findings as nothing and writes founded dispositions to use in the future. We can debate theory as people are destroyed. What good is it? Where is the value?

They find nothing so they politely tell me to have a nice night and that I'm gonna get pulled over again as soon as I cross the state border, which happened.

New Technology is another factor. Most police are recording audio and video of every interaction , and can pick and choose how they use it. But you don't have automatic access to that data nor can it usually he used to exonerate anyone just convict them. And it ensures police won't miss or forget a word. They have all the power there.

Depends what it is. Personally my take is If you are immediately uncooperative and you immediately ask for a lawyer when pulled over you look suspicious like you are scared of something and by asking for a lawyer you are 100% arrested. You may get let go later but you are definitely being arrested. I would answer the basic questions and if it got any deeper and I felt he suspected I had committed a crime then i would ask for my lawyer. If you have absolutely nothing to hide, you are innocent and friendly with the officer so long as you are careful not to incriminate yourself (definitely risky and difficult for most people to do) you may get cut some slack and be allowed to leave. Something bigger and more complex 100% ask for a lawyer and shut up. But this isn’t advice just my opinion and personal feeling and I think most people should just shut up and ask for your lawyer.

[@fremejoker]

Seeing these videos, it makes me glad, that I am living in a country of civil law, in Germany. The prosecution and court is not only obliged to seek and use anything against you, but also anything that can be used for you. The court has to find out the truth, which means the court has to gather any possible evidence to find this truth and the prosecution will call for acquittal, if it turns out in court that the evidence doesn't proof the defendant's guilt. As a defendant you are not only allowed to lie, but it can not be used against you that you lied, too. If you lied, you don't get additional time, but if you got caught lying it will diminish your chances of a better sentence due to mitigating circumstances. It is easier to get a new trail if good evidence is gathered after the original conviction and innocent people who got wrongfully convicted get money for each day they were in prison, which is a real law, although it is not much. In the US there seems to be no law for compensation.

[@algrayson8965]

Germany is foundationally a common law country. The common law has been supplanted by civil law to a much greater degree than in Britain and the USA.

The gun and badge thugs proceed to arrest him, attempt to seize the vehicle, do seize over $4,000 cash from him, and tie the family up in town for over 4 months. They both lose their jobs in their home state and must rely upon the kindness of family and friends to sustain them for over four months. DON'T TALK TO THE GUN AND BADGE THUGS! 2. An infirm veteran of over 70 years is stopped by a gun and badge thug just down the road from his pharmacy. He has just picked up a refill of a prescription that treats the ailments he was given by the US Tyranny's military during his time in uniform. The gun and badge thug asks him if he has any prescription medication*. The veteran answers yes, and shows the gun and badge thug the medication when asked. The veteran is arrested for possession of controlled medication without a prescription. Never mind that his identity is plastered on the newly minted bottles. The gun and badge thug also tows the veteran's vehicle and seizes his legal weapons. The veteran is out several thousand $$$ to defend himself and must fight the gun and badge thugs for the return of his weapons. And the veteran's medication "disappeared." DON'T TALK WITH THE GUN AND BADGE THUGS! DON'T TALK WITH THE GUN AND BADGE THUGS! *More and more the gun and badge thugs are paying people in pharmacies to call them when someone refills certain medications. The gun and badge thugs then stop, cage, mulct, and rob the prescription refiller. Regardless of outcome, the refiller is out much in time, $$$, possibly job, and their medication often disappears. I know of at least one person that parks some ways away from their pharmacy and then takes a bus to pick up their medication as a precaution against this.

Still impressed at the speed how fast he can say the alphabet backwards so fast

[@damonrao6625]

Agreed! A neat party trick to learn the backwards sequence in its own right. Im actually impressed at how fast he speaks during the entire lecture. I have to keep checking I'm not listening to this in 1.5x

[@BillKinsman]

I wish I could talk half as fast as this guy! What a command of the subject and the English language! Don't talk to the police. Just say that you have no statement and wish to speak to an attorney, repeatedly. Stick to your rights.

[@nageeb96]

100% right on point MR Duane ..thank you .do not talk ever to police.

[@darrelllangerd7531]

He’s 100% correct! I have never been in trouble in my life and I even told my kid if the police want to question him for him to say I want an attorney and say no more!

[@440wedge]

If you go to settings and set the playback speed to 0.75 he speaks at a normal pace.

[@Anonymous8317]

I’ve been on a big 1.5 month televised murder trial as a juror. SHUT UP AND GET AN ATTORNEY. A good prosecutor like I saw is terrifying….they’ll twist and turn words to their benefit. The defendant was never convicted and was tried twice in 2 counties. It cost him millions in expert witnesses both times. He was fortunate to be wealthy.

[@wukongsun6223]

Well, you are told of your rights before an interrogation takes place. After that, it's the suspects choices to determine if they think they can outsmart an interrogation, without going through a legal court case.

This information is so incredibly important, so much so that I tried to show this to my 10th grade Language Arts Class when we were studying Non-fiction, the Fifth Amendment, and rhetorical devices . Professor Duane has so much to share Unfortunately, his rate of speech is so rapid that he lost the students. High Schoolers are a tough audience, and they finally asked me to stop the video because he, "sounds like an auctioneer," and "talking so fast makes me feel like he is being dishonest". I have since purchased the audio book and kindle book for students to study independently. Thus far, he students have found Professor Duane' s words so much more palatable. Once they have heard/read his book, the video is a little more easy to take in. My hope is that Professor Duane 'land the plane' and slow down what he has to say in the video because seeing and hearing someone is so powerful for not only high school kids, but for all Human Beings. Thank you Professor Duane.

[@garicrewsen1128]

'"talking so fast makes me feel like he is being dishonest"' and where, how and by whom those youngsters were programmed with that meme would be one of the most insightful long term discussions and learning experiences I dare say any student/teacher relationship could have. Would relish knowing how an experiment like that turned out and what was ultimately discovered about how 'inalienable rights' were viewed after that. Cheers!

@@videogamebomer talking fast is a common mark of hucksters trying to fleece people.... talk faster than they can think and they fail to see the flaws in what the huckster is saying.... not so dumbass i think, but you need to apply logic to what is said instead of just assuming ALL fast talkers are hucksters...

[@Jeff-m5x3j]

I am reminded of how the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial chewed out the prosecutor for even mentioning Rittenhouse’s remaining silent during initial questioning. He tried to infer that refusing to answer the officer’s questions made him look guilty and the judge ripped the prosecutor a new one for it.

[@williambeard7313]

After being stopped on the highway and not agreeing to having my vehicle searched I was arrested and further refused to talk to the police. My car was then searched anyway. Long story short my Public Defender told me that I was the only case that had crossed his desk in years that had "shut up" and commended me on my decision. I must admit it was hard to say no to a vehicle search and they made me say it twice and then after i refused to speak without an attorney the arresting officer threatened me under his breath but when i saw the testimony these same officers gave to a grand jury i was amazed at their recount of the encounter. We apparently were at two different traffic stops because what they said and what happened were two completely different events. Believe this man and dont talk to the police. They already have overactive imaginations a story manipulatuon skills.
