Why You Should Never Talk to the Police
Lecture on the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8167533318153586646#
This is a lecture by Professor James Duane of the Regent University
School of Law on the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent. Prof.
Duane explains why you should never, ever, ever talk to the police
or any other government agent for any reason. It doesn't matter
if you're guilty or innocent, if you have an alibi or not.
It isn't possible for anything you say to help you, and it's very
possible that innocuous things you say will hurt you.
At the end of the video is Virginia Beach Police Department Officer
George Bruch, who says that Prof. Duane is absolutely right and
explains why from a law enforcement perspective.
All you have to say is "I am asserting my Fifth Amendment
right to remain silent. I want to talk to my attorney."
Please consult an attorney if you have been contacted or stopped
by the law enforcement. This includes Department of Revenue regulators
and auditors. Anything you say can and will be used against you.
