I know I have said this before, but its soooo important to know.
In america your 5th amendment right to remain silent is **not** granted automatically. If speaking with a cop if you remain silent without explicitly invoking it as a right that silence **can** and will be used against you in a court of law. It is **only** when you explicitly verbalize you are invoking your right that you gain this protection!
@AmpBenzScientist Thats why you record :) because it may be used against you but if it is then its a violation.
@freemo Innocent until proven guilty is why they take people to jail. It's just to preserve their innocence except for the other inmates. That's a different type of innocence.
@AmpBenzScientist lol is like canning for food, but for people's innocence :)
@AmpBenzScientist actually its not a violation. If you remain silent without invoking your 5th amendment right then using your silence against you is not considered a violation and even recording such things wont help you... You only have the right to remain silent when you execute the right explicitly, it is not self-executing.
@freemo "Did you say anything stupid? And by that I mean, did you say anything?" -- Best legally relevant line from Breaking Bad.
Seriously, deals are made after you have a lawyer.
A lesson from "The Lives Of Others": the guilty person, if interrogated, will cry or get emotional. The innocent will get angry. One thing hardened psychopaths have is the ability to display some "righteous anger" even if they are guilty as hell. That often gets them out of trouble.
@freemo Is that when the nearest judge sprints to the location to point out that the invocation implies neither guilt nor innocence?
