Amazing vid!! Love your take! 😊
The female detective was just as bad if not worse than the male detective. She just wasted everyone’s time for a longer time that’s all.
@@tentedalex njjhhj
The guy is experienced in law enforcement and doesn't immediately ask for a lawyer. Baffling.
Edit for the people saying it makes him look suspicious:
It doesn't matter if it makes you look suspicious or not. Someone asking for a lawyer at any point cannot be used against you in a court of law. Sure it may put you on the cop's radar, but if you're brought in for questioning you're already on it. I promise you, having a lawyer present during any and all questioning is infinitely better than just winging it. Because, unlike asking for a lawyer, things you say to cops CAN AND WILL be used against you in court. The thought process of 'a lawyer makes me look suspicious' has resulted in thousands and thousands of false confessions, and wrongful convictions. The point is ALWAYS LAWYER UP
He's experienced in enforcement, not in knowing the law, that's lawyers. Most cops are unaware of the law, that's why you just take the ticket, say thank you, and show up to court.
My question exactly. Even I know due to watching these type of programs! 🤣🤣🤣
He is as thick as it gets
😂😂😂
He’s too dumb to act like an innocent person does. He should have been indignant “What are you holding me for! I didn’t do anything!! If you’re not charging me with anything, I’m OUTTA here!! If you’re charging me, I want a lawyer NOW!” Guilty people generally don’t question why they are detained, and often try to figure out what the cops “know”. This guy is dumb as a box of hammers, or subconsciously basically just gave up because he knew he was toast.
@@zbelair7218 what do u say when u get to court? Serious question cuz I’ve always wondered. Do u just go and say “I wasn’t speeding” or how does one get it dropped?
"I choose to remain silent"
**Female enters the chat**
"Twas a sunny, and mundane afternoon, when I awoke to my chickens"
👍😂😂😂
😂
Best comment hands down.
I read that in a English accent 😂
@@DaVincidevil so did I..
Because I am 😂 😂 😂
My thing is, as an officer I feel like he shouldve known to ask , "Am i under arrest?" If not then, "why am i being detained?" If they still dont talk, remain silent. Period.
As an attorney, it’s disturbing that this guy invoked his right to remain silent and they continued to keep him in a room and coerce him to speak.
I agree. I was thinking if they got a confession after him saying he was guilty for remaining silent it likely would.get thrown out.
I feel like he should have also requested an attorney after invoking his right to silence. Also, isn't one of the rights his ability to end the interview and leave at any time? So when he asked to leave and refused.... that doesn't sit well with me. Regardless of innocence or guilt, he is entitled to his rights.
He did envoke his right to remain silent but didn't ask for a lawyer they don't go hand in hand
@@LadyKapow92I think in his mind he doesn't want to request an attorney because it may make him look guilty of something.
Well someone witnessed him shooting a man soooo he’s guilty
How the hell did he fall for this?
Him: I’m remaining silent.
Her: so what did you do today?
Him: well I watched TV, fed my chickens, threw out some grass seed, murdered someone…oh dang you guys are good.
Ummm no lol ……L, a huge one!
He didn’t say SHXXXTTT! It’s not a crime to talk about chickens and stuff LOL & him getting “attention” from a younger woman (detective), her giving him a conversation that has nothing to do with the actual crime and while still using his right to remain silent is something I’m sure did make him feel good. We all could tell he loved the Convo. WHERE do you hear him snitching on himself basically? 🤔🧐🤨
So like I said, an L. A very, very big one! lol
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
🤣💯
He probably doesn't get attention from women much so he hopped on the opertunity to talk to one that wanted to talk to him lol
@@bladethevamp I said the same thing!
It's amazing how many times you can be fired as a cop and end up getting hired again in law enforcement elsewhere, this kind of practice needs to stop!!
Blame the police unions.
Shit happens everywhere. People in positions of power failing upwards. Look at our current government.
@@joemayberry5518 America's been that way for decades not just recently
@@MrNinja543 America has been like that ALWAYS, you mean.
@@MrNinja543 America or US🇺🇸? America is a Continent , not a Country
Whenever the police are interrogating you and they say that they’re trying to help you, immediately understand that you’re being suspected of something.
This is a perfect example of why you ALWAYS demand a lawyer and NEVER speak to detectives.
The cops are trying to minimize the fact that they just read everyone their rights, but in THIS case, it means nothing and you can talk. What BS that is. EVERYONE has the same rights, and should be told WHY they are being held and questioned.
I know. This dude asked for his right to remain silent over and over. Fuck, the whole "your side of the story" business...you'll have plenty of time to present your side of the story with your lawyer. Did this "detective" really think this cop was going to fall for that trick.
But then even if you are truly innocent when you ask for a lawyer they automatically think your guilty!
@@FenderBender5150 there have to release him out charge him after he started he pled the fifth. All he had to do was not open his mouth 😂 they can't make him speak. This isn't North Korea.
@@FenderBender5150If they did that after he asked for a lawyer, it would be bad. But they can't infringe upon his right to remain silent- that's something you invoke, but they can still talk to you
Cop: “Just tell me what happened. I’m not here to trip you up.”
Narrator: The cop was indeed there to trip him up.
HAAAAA HAAAAA bofl🤣🤣🤣
“He’s had a long, but tarnished career”🤔🤔🤔
So basically, he’s a pile of human sh!t that has no business having any authority over anyone🤬
Notice how the lady detective even mirrors how he is dressed.
Also the narrator: if the suspect looks to the left that is a sign of distress
Borderline entrapment/flirting!! She’s sooooo transparent 😂
As a former detective who wasn’t cut out for the job, one piece of advice I can give is NEVER talk to the police without representation,
Even if innocent!
Exactly. You have absolutely nothing to gain from chatting with the police!
You hit the nail on the head! Never ever ever talk to the police without the proper representation. No one in this room is on his side, and regardless of his history in the police force, he’s not a lawyer. He doesn’t need to say he’s going to remain silent, he needs to ask for a lawyer because they’re telling him he’s a suspect in a terrible crime.
yes, make their job more difficult
For sure.
I'm curious. Why do you say you were not cut out for the job?
I can not believe 8.9 MILLION people, including me, watched two people sit in almost complete silence for over an hour and a half. What's wrong with all of us?! 😂
thx for the heads up
I use some of these just to fall asleep
You mean to tell me you didnt skip forward at all? Dam dude, you might need to see a shrink.
Just skip to the last 5 minutes!!! Save yourself a lot of time!!
I just kept waiting for him to lawyer up😂
I literally fell asleep during the interrogation & woke back up to him still saying I will remain silent..how in the world did it take so long for him to ask for a lawyer that’s the only thing you have to do. The detectives were so horrible to still sit there after he clearly refused to talk. I thought it was either be detained or be let go if there isn’t enough evidence to prove you’re guilty?
Me too, woke at 1:20:00
Fun fact - the female detective was suspended by the Benton County Sheriff Office in 2017 for using her emergency lights and siren to stop a school bus so her child could get on.
Lmao
wow
That’s probably because the clothes police have stopped her more than once and she mad
She did seem like that kind of female with how generic her approaches to the suspect were. Nothing classy or strategic… just talking about chicken and how late it is lol swinging her legs like a little girl talking about trucks come on, maybe if the guy wasn’t former police 😂
Lmao
It's insane that someone with that large of a record of being a bad cop and leader is allowed to keep being an officer.
Murcia
That’s the system 99% of em are dirty and sadistic and they help each other keep thier dirty, racist sexist hater secrets amongst each other

I kept reading the first part of this comment and I thought “this must be a typo, but what a weird typo” and then I finished the comment and laughed hysterically. Thank you.
😂😂😂😂 I’m hollering !!!
"I apologize, I have to go back to my silence thing." My new favorite saying
The detective talks to him like every fake conversation I’ve ever had and he’s just loving it
What the fuck does that mean?
Ikr? Anyone who doesn’t get this comment would 100% fall for one (Rob Shaw)
yo seriously Randy what the fuck did you mean
I'm trying to decipher this comment
I totally get that its like someone that dosent really want to talk to you but want something from you so he just fake interest in something you say
@@jiggyjongles the female detective is being deceitful during interrogation. She doesn't really care about anything he is saying, she wants her questions answered. When did you wake up, what were you wearing, when did you do this or that. It's a ploy to leverage for information. He seems to enjoy the conversation as if she chose to talk to him.
Favorite part?
Harden: "I'm remaining silent."
Cop: "I can see that."

Damn you beat me to this!
14:28
This was some pretty funny comical stuff, if it weren't for the seriousness of it. I almost spit my cereal out when he started remaining silent, while the detective was still trying to ask him questions.
You can hear that too.
I feel like I deserve an accommodation for watching this entire video.
Reparations! 😂
So true! I fast forward the video a few times…. and I still couldn’t take it! (total BS!).
This was both sad and depressing with such a sense of hopelessness. The long silent pauses, the painful efforts of forced conversation proving fruitless were uncomfortable to watch. It's hard to fathom a man this seemingly kind and polite was guilty of fraud, rape and murder. Makes you wonder how many strangers you strike up friendly conversations with in passing are criminals.
How is that possible that even if fired as police officer he was allowed to re-enter ???let alone to become Chief!!!
Because they originally allowed him to resign instead of firing him after his violation. Basically giving him an opportunity in the future to reapply somewhere else.
@@hilmi9731 No, he was fired from his first position.
To answer the original question, it happens all over the US. Being fired could be for falsifying something, tardiness, lack of performance and tons of other things. Some things are less important to other departments, especially in areas where there is a shortage of officers. Many officers have previously been fired or transferred to avoid firing. Also, if you look at the records of some police departments, some have a large percentage of officers with tens of write ups. It isn't every officer but it isn't that uncommon either.
Right ?¿???? There's so much in life that's wrong & could be easier if people were more honest in & with life!! Be well Tito☯️
@@hilmi9731 that’s what they do every time everywhere. It keeps them off the Brady list which defeats the whole purpose of the Brady list
Agree
Even if I'm 100% innocent I would still request a lawyer. Too many times things get pinned on the innocent. It's not a guilty look to have a lawyer, its smart.
Too bad he never asked for one
That part
I’m Mexican and I approve this post lol always lawyer up. Best money spent second to lap dances
2 minds are better than 1
Totally agree. I tell my adult children not even to talk to cops as a “witness” without a lawyer present. It’s disgusting that his sentence was so light, though typical for “justice” in the south.
It’s so frustrating that they’re continuing the interrogation after he’s invoked his right to remain silent.
It's even more weird that he keeps talking 😂
I mean yeah they are gonna continue but at the same time he doesn’t have to talk. And he didn’t ask for a lawyer
@@rachellucero8672I’m stuck between thinking…well, he technically didn’t ask for a lawyer…and then I think…it’s kinda just semantics here. He’s said he’s invoking his right, so it just seems like that’s something a lawyer could get throw out…
@@jordancave3089exactly!
Why? Police can continue to question after your right to remain silent has been invoked
Detective: "You have the right to remain silent."
Suspect: -is silent-
Detective: "Bro wtf why are you being silent"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Let me save you almost 2 hours: He never said anything.Last 5 minutes were the most interesting as it's when everything he did comes out.Long story,Bad cop.
Wish I had saw this an hour ago. Thank you
@Riff Raff I honestly don't know what the hell is the reason for uploading a almost 2 hours long video of pure nothing... Literally just a little 5 minutes at the end of the story.Dont waste my time. If you want to upload a video that has some substance to it, okay.This was pure crap.
This department wasted 2 hours of his time to get a confession. The crime was appalling don't get me wrong, but these detectives are seriously skirting the law.
I liked the part about the owls
@@abigailh3683 Same time for me to start scrolling the comments, see this, then skip ahead.
Here's what you need to remember:
"Am I free to go? Am I under arrest? I'm not going to speak to anyone without a lawyer present."
And contrary to this poorly written script, exercising your rights does not imply guilt
Step one: dont commit a crime.
@@sambal9377 way too many people who have not committed crimes have been charged because they do not understand how to exercise their rights
Exactly right, lol...Jeff did it best! 🤷♂️
ua-cam.com/video/9x2NaGkl6BI/v-deo.html
@@MortimerJones99 yeah the guy who made this video should have clarified that it's better to stay quiet and look guilty than to speak and be found guilty.
At first I thought, wow, she was really a good detective and she made him talk. She kind of flirted with him, used her voice to gain trust. But her sniffling was so annoying. And I was so disappointed, this video didnt end with a confession. She even laughed at her own statements because she knew, that he knew what she was trying to do… and it was too desperate
As someone who grew up in the south (thankfully I got out) I recognized so many nuances she had going on there. She wasn’t flirting but she was definitely softening her voice in a similar manner in which a lot of southern women flirt. In this case she was using it to seem sweet and non threatening, almost motherly - playing on that tendency for men to underestimate women the narrator briefly touched on. I’m by no means a sexist, but as a former southerner I found myself almost lulled into a sense of safety and familiarity by her voice. If I’m ever guilty of a crime, getting a sweet southern woman to talk to me would absolutely work. And it’s illustrated in this interrogation - as incompetent as these detectives clearly are, that one tactic worked better than anything else
For him to tell him he’s not free to leave without charging him is beyond illegal
And the badgering AFTER he stated multiple times he is exercising his right to silence. Killer or not, rights are rights 🤷🏼
I know this guy is guilty but damn it’s crazy that even a cop gets all confused and forgets his legal rights when being questioned by the cops.
Those detectives are skilled and experienced interrogators. A friend of mine in the Army was an interrogator (the Army called it a "Human Intelligence Specialist", in their typical euphemistic fashion) and taught me a few things. It's actually not as difficult as you would think. Unless someone is highly trained and experienced at resisting interrogation, it's not terribly difficult to get them to talk.
He might be a cop but knowing to himself that he’s murdered someone, that is probably going round n round in his head he knows it’s only a matter of time before he gets caught which is why he’s getting all confused
Cops enforce the law but don’t really know the law. It’s still wild that when read his rights, he still failed to keep quiet and get a lawyer 🙃🙃🙃
@@thatguy22441 "Skilled and experienced interrogators"? No, not really. They did a terrible job in the beginning, and the only reason they finally got anywhere with him at all was that Hardin screwed up and said "I know" when the male detective mentioned "serious charges."
There is also the fact that they technically violated his rights by not charging him as soon as he invoked the 5th Amendment. A decent lawyer could easily get all of this thrown out.
most cops don't even understand the law. They go to like 6-8 weeks of training and classes... When they should go to 4 years worth since they are the only people we give the right to carry and use a gun when it's called for. Innocent people are killed just about everyday, tens of dogs a day, because of the terrible way the police have been set up to operate. No accountability.
“so tell me about your day”
“No.”
“okay”
“WELL SINCE U WONT LEAVE ME ALONEEEE. I have these chickens right....”
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣
😆
Bahahahaha 🤣😂🤣
“This time they send in the female to see if he’ll simp. It’s an effective strategy.”
🥇The best comment EVER.
Experienced detectives wouldn’t have started off the interrogation practically telling the suspect that he’s guilty. They would’ve feigned ignorance, telling him why he’s there after making him as comfortable as possible, then they would’ve started off with unrelated questions like how he and his wife met, how long they’ve been married, if they have any kids, etc. These guys IMMEDIATELY jumped straight into the case while telling the suspect nothing, then one of them has the nerve to get frustrated and starts acting like a child when the suspect realizes the police know he’s guilty and decides to say nothing 🤦🏽♂️.
Glad I found this channel after binging explore with us while doing something
Love explore with us!!
In the same boat!
Whether you're innocent or guilty, ALWAYS have a Lawyer present before answering ANY questions. And always remember, there are NO circumstances EVER during a police interview, where the police are there to help you. The police are not necessarily doing anything wrong, but they have an agenda and in 99% of interviews, the suspect whether innocent or guilty will unwittingly say the wrong thing based on how the police officer leads the questions. Get a Lawyer always.
Not that cut and dry. Had I taken a lawyer with me the last time, I'd still be in prison. Instead, I got a ticket and got to go home that day. When I finally went to court 6.5 years later, after they somehow lost my case between the court room and the registrars office after my 1st court date.
So, 6.5 years later I call and ask about the pending charge and they can't fund anything and say they'll call me back. They called back after they found it and rescheduled my court date. I didn't have any warrants because my case never made it to the DA's office after court for some reason.
So I finally go to court and the judge and prosecutor had all the evidence they needed to nail me for "felony cyberstalking" because I threatened a guy over Facebook. I admitted as much when I went and spoke to the detective that day they gave me a ticket 6.5 years prior. Instead, the judge and DA took everything into consideration about my fragile mental state att he time of the crime, I was about to bury my daughter & only child in a day or 2, and they dropped the charges even though they had everything they needed to nail me for Felony Cyberstalking for threatening to kill that guy. Instead, because I cooperated and the DA was actually considerate, they, dropped it to Disturbing the Peace. I paid like $200 in fines & costs and went home.
All because I cooperated. Like I said, it's not always that cut & dry. Sometimes it's to your benefit to speak to them. But you have to make that determination on your own.
@@blazer6248 I mean, no offense, but it seems to me that what played to your advantage was the almost 7 years between the offense and the day you actually went to court. Seems like some highly unusual circumstances. Also, I am so sorry for your loss; I can't imagine the unbearable pain and grief that comes with losing a child. I hope you're doing well.
Facts
@JC You can still cooperate with police but it is under the counsel of an attorney and should play no role in the way you are perceived in the eyes of the law as justice is BLIND! You are innocent until proven otherwise in a court of law! The court system should be fair and grant everyone with a fair trial blind prejudice and bias! So this should have played no role in the way you were treated! Yes, the police can investigate they can also try and bait you even if you claim to want a lawyer present. Funny how you were coerced into thinking "cooperating" was going to resolve this issue, or should have a bearing on how you are perceived with the DA or the judge after 6.5 years. Also, thinking to go with hopes and dreams and without a lawyer was a good idea or move on your part. Clearly, it was a misdemeanor or you would not have received just a ticket! If it was a felony you would have had it on your record for 6.5 years until you cleared a pending charge if not imprisoned for that whole time. I do find it hard to believe your paperwork was lost for over 6 years yet it took only minutes to find your docket...Also, with all my condolences as a father of 4, I could never imagine your pain! You should have been put on trial if you were being charged with this crime. Would have still been able to provide the same evidence and with the counsel of an attorney presented your mental state and still reached the same outcome if this was a felony charge as you claim. The fact you think differently is the issue that Campervan Dave is bringing up. You believe that you should cooperate to make their job easier. You are given these rights to protect yourself from yourself! You got lucky if this is true! Also not a strong argument for proceeding with any charge without counsel. For something you think is cut and dry it is amazing you also contradict yourself immediately in the same sentence by saying it is your determination on your own even though you possess no formal training and by no means do you know more than a LAWYER! Like I said this is to protect you from you! This is you thinking you know enough about a subject to think you know the subject but not enough about the subject to understand just how wrong you are about a subject!
He was playing a game with them tho he wanted to know what they new he new he could ask for an attorney just like he new to stay quiet hes an ex cop he knows the routine
Female detective clearly left the room to restructure her skill tree into “southern belle feminine wiles”. Smart move.

The woman detective trying to get him to open up is too funny 😂 she was trying SO hard to keep the conversation going 😩 A for effort…. I’ll be really shocked if she ends up getting him to speak about the incident
Every one of my dates. sigh.
When someone becomes a police officer, their DNA should immediately be added to a system to ensure they actually uphold the law. I can't believe that they found out he had committed a previous crime. Disgusting.
This, right Here!!!
Except that pesky Bill of Rights and that whole "unreasonable search and seizure" clause keeps getting in the way of this. Maybe if you waive your 8th Amendment Right, others will be willing to give away their Rights.
@@hualni except that law enforcement is constantly held to a different standard than their civilian counter parts. If they chose to be the means of taking away life and locking people away, especially given their repeated blatant lack of knowledge of what laws they actually are supposed uphold due to improper training, it is evidently necessary to have their information in a system to rule them out. If we want to get technical, them investigating a crime they claimed to have seem personally makes them a conflict of interest because they are the ones making the claim that a law was broken. Even though time and time again it's been shown that they aren't actually trained in law, let alone ethics. If a citizen reported another citizen, they would not be given any info on the crime, investigation or otherwise pertinent info until sentencing or lack of. And they would be heavily encouraged not to seek information as they are biased due to be the reporting party. Even if they are off duty or formerly in law enforcement. The bare minimum they should be required is their DNA. I can get it out of a trash can outside of a Wendy's they were at but I can't just skip the middle man and get a nontainted sample from the person themselves? It's a needed safety measure. You don't ask for your excrement back after depositing it. And dumpster diving is legal in 49 states. So it's not an invasion of privacy, nor illegal search and seizure.
At the end of the day I'm not a legal advisor, but having been on both sides of the law (friends in LE, military in family and was an addict for a very long time) and have abused by the system for shit I didn't do and have had more than one case dropped due to shoddy police work, the least they could do in my opinion is provide DNA to rule them out of any investigation before continuing. I don't hate cops, but the lack of accountability for blatant violations is unacceptable and DNA swabs could prove a simple and effective way to remove doubt from more serious cases. I dont expect to change anyones mind but i would guess im not the o ly one with that opinion
Rant over lol
@@hualni Don't companies oftentimes do drug testing and such things? I did fingerprinting when I applied for one job and drug testing for another. If they don't want to give up their DNA then they can decline the job.
@@dreaminginjapan Drug testing is quite different from DNA harvesting. You even have protections from failing a drug test in many cases. If you are honest with HR, they will provide you will rehab and protect your job. But you have to be honest. You can't take the test and then ask for mercy. The companies insurance company will drop that employee.
I'm not rooting for the guy but man, he totally blew it talking about anything with that female officer. If you're going to remain silent, remain silent. Completely. "Charge me or let me go. I want a lawyer" is all you should ever say. Ever.

Drives me nuts when a cop says that you must be guilty if you are practicing your right to remain silent. 🤬
Literally the comment I came looking for!!
Damn finally he asked for a lawyer and she still sits there! Unbelievable
It's amazing to me that people automatically jump to guilty if someone invokes their right to remain silent. Whether you're guilty or not, you'd be a fool to believe the police are there to help you. Especially, during an interrogation. Remaining silent is ALWAYS the best option, innocent or not.
Think about it this way though: what if someone you loved was killed and there was an investigation involved? Would you still want innocent people to resist giving information to the police? I think that most people would want the police to help
No, but there is a difference between volunteering information and being viewed as a suspect and talking. You can also give info anonymously so you don't involve yourself at all.
@@Essasis True
All cops will get an attorney and not make a statement without them if they are arrested. You do not have to help with an investigation of yourself or someone else.
@@Essasisso if your kids missing and they wanna interview someone as a suspect that person should anonymously give there side of the story to rule them out?
That just isn’t enough to rule everyone out. These are murder cases and encouraging people to not cooperate with police doesn’t help anything. Just ask what you can do to rule yourself out tell them everything they need to know because all of the time you spend of theirs is time that they could be searching for whoever actually did it. Your comment is epically dumb.

I just read up on this, and this guy is also a convicted rapist of a school teacher. Also, by the information, he just pulled up to the victim (Appleton), who was sitting in a car on the phone. Totally random killing. This guy must have been mentally damaged. I wonder how he got through all the "police psych checks". Probably there are no checks, eh.
love how he talks to anyone that will listen about how he has to leave
putting that young lady, not in uniform, in to "talk" with Mister Hardin was such a great move on their part.. even if they aren't as experienced with such crimes as bigger city police. She was patient af && really played into her perceived character, as well as his.. it was impressive tbh
"Any reason why you don't want to talk to me about your day?"
"Yeah, because I'm not stupid".
They send in a woman. 10 minutes later: "Oh, well maybe I am stupid".
The old "send in a women" technique gets em everytime.
Yeah, combined with his family visit, it changed the atmosphere in the room completely. And she is really comforting rather than anything else. I like her sniveling too, it makes her even more nonthreataning, it probably felt to him like talking to his daughter.

her conversation was subpar and i don't know how he didn't see right through it...
Damn I’m getting more and more upset with these investigators. He said he didn’t wanna talk and needed a lawyer yet they keep talking to him
Ummmm NO, that's not what happened at all..... He said he wished to remain silent, he did not ask for a lawyer until the very end of the video and at that point she stops talking to him and even tells him that she can't speak to him anymore because he asked for an attorney. I'm not sure what's upsetting about that or why you are frustrated with the detectives. Both of them followed protocol. They were crappy interrogators, but that's besides the point. Choosing to remain silent and even vocalizing that right is completely different than asking for an attorney, the two do not go hand in hand at all. Don't take my word for it. Look it up yourself.
He needed to ask for a lawyer. This is disturbing.
“ I’m being silent “. At that point he should have asked for a lawyer or a dictionary.
I pleed the Webster
Bahahahaaaa!!! 🤣😂
You have to invoke the fifth , your silence can be used against you
Or a brain like the tinman. This interrogation makes me wanna shove needles in my eyes and ears. Holy fuck ask for a lawyer or gtf outta there you chicken loving fuck!!
Yeah, he'd need the lawyer to explain the dictionary 😂👍
FYI, refusing to speak doesn’t mean it makes you look guilty. It means you’re smart enough to know they will twist anything you say into some perverted confession.
exactly. What the cops really saying is "please implicate yourself in this crime otherwise ill have to do extra work to gather evidence, and who knows i might not be able to do that, so can you please just put this noose around your neck for me bud?"
it depends on the circumstances and what the evidence is
@@joeyjohnsonson4341 guilty or innocent, never speak.
AMEN to that. It's not rocket science for God's sake. If you just keep your pie hole shut and request counsel, then you can avoid being interrogated in the first place...and anyone in law enforcement should know this better than most. Saying ANYTHING at all will only give the police and then the courts ammunition against you, and that they will. They are experts at twisting your words to suit their purposes. So many people think that remaining silent creates the appearance of guilt, when in fact it just means that you know your rights and are willing to exercise them. There aren't many thing's the cops hate more than someone who knows and exercises their rights, FOR REAL, lmao. Requesting an attorney is also misconstrued as an indicater of guilt but is also your right and gives you a much better chance of beating the charges, as it leaves the police and the prosecution without anything to twist or take out of context when they try to convict you in court. The "appearance of guilt" is just that- an APPEARANCE. Any sane person would understand that the LAST thing you want to do is help them to nail you, so you give them NOTHING!!! No matter how it looks, knowing and exercising your rights is the best and smartest thing you can do for yourself in any situation with the police. That is just a FACT, and why this ex-police captain doesn't do just that, is truly ridiculous and blows my mind. He obviously knows it, but then talks to them anyway. His ego is probably the catalyst for running his mouth in spite of his knowledge that he shouldn't. So I guess he missed the part where you can't just know it and say it. You actually have to DO it. He is effectively digging his own grave. What a dumbass, for real. SMH 🤔🤐🙄😶
@@mercychoke4475
Unfortunately, asking for an attorney repeatedly, and not speaking didn't work for my young son.
They wouldn't allow me in with him during the questioning, nor would they stop the questioning to allow him to get an attorney, and continued questioning him for over 9 hours without a break.
He signed a confession, even though he was innocent, and the cops conveniently lost the recording of his over 9 hours of questioning, which would have shown he was refused an attorney, as well as other abuses.
His life was ruined because of their BS, and I hope some day they, and my ex sister-in-law who started the crap, will have to answer for it.
Funny how they keep saying help me to help you by telling me everything you did today there by incriminating yourself so that we can charge you and throw you in jail

I feel like this fool should know to say I’m getting a lawyer several freakin hours ago.
I've never seen anything like this! I've never seen detectives still trying to get him to talk after he claimed remaining silent!
as a lawyer, this detective violated this mans rights, he should be fired immediately for his actions. depriving a suspect from legal council and badgering the suspect is subject to criminal charges for violation of rights and mental abuse
9:40 narrator makes a huge mistake in saying that not answering questions makes you look suspicious, this is exactly the kind of false narrative that we need to stop spreading around. Not answering the police’s questions is the wisest course of action that any innocent or guilty person should take and lawyer or any judge will tell you that, so saying that not answering questions makes him more suspicious is not only false it’s a dangerous thing to say
Agree, 👍🏼
In a way, remaining silent does make you seem guilty. The only thing that makes you seem more guilty, however, is not remaining silent.
There’s a difference between remaining silence by saying “i forget. i will remain silence on this part and need a lawyer” when asked about his day; as opposed to remaining silence when asked about ‘trivial matters’ like recounting about what he did during the day. That’s what makes him suspicious. It is not a false narrative if the suspect is dodging seemingly normal questions that do not hinder their constitution; provided if their answer is not suspicious at all. That’s why he’s suspicious. He’s remaining silence during the questioning without giving a reason as to why. He used to be a cop and was chief and he himself even knows he’s suspicious but he’s under pressure and didn’t even ask for a lawyer.
Like D said. “I do not recall. I need an attorney” - when you are giving a reason to remain silence then you aren’t deemed suspicious.

Honestly staying silent is the smartest thing he could have done in that interrogation at the beginning besides asking for a lawyer, you could see when he was silent they were genuinely struggling.

@oh yeah? Right!!!! I said its oh its over for him now! 🤣🤣
What I think a lot of commenters don’t understand is that you DO have the right to remain silent, but until you ask for an attorney, the authorities can talk or ask as much as they like. It’s only once you ask for an attorney that they must leave you alone. Invoking the right to remain silent doesn’t prevent anyone from talking to you. Invoking an attorney immediately stops all questioning and discussion.
He was so taken by the female detective that it took him a while to realize she was interrogating him.
My thoughts exactly!! She’s young and most likely attractive, and he was smitten with her. Within the first few minutes he was smiling, the whole nine! 😂😂

Because they either think they are smarter than Police or are ignorant, people who are innocent also just want to help with the situation and they are nervous. I understand it but I always tell my boys DON’T SAY A WORD.
The police has crossed a line in this situation..they have to either charge him and they are trying to intimidate him into talking. And regardless of his guilt he is innocent until proven guilty. 🤷🏻♀️
he was being silent he couldnt XD
Lots of people do lawyer up. We only see the videos of the idiots who don't.
You'd think someone this experienced with law enforcement would immediately lawyer up or demand that they be charged with something or be released. Or both. As it was they detained on no charges. Really bizarre on both sides.
Exactly what I was thinking
@@heybuddy7410 Me too.
these people genuinely believe they’re different and better than everyone else. they think they’re special. THEY’RE the ones who are going to get away with it when no one else did.
I think he is so used to being in a position of power that when he is stripped of that power he can’t think properly. Like he never thought he COULD ever be in this position so he isn’t aware of how he should be handling the situation.
I think he didn't do that because he was not arrested at this time. I think he thought he would be allowed to leave. He actually should have been able to leave or have been arrested. I feel the male officer was on the verge of infringing his rights. Glad the female officer intervened.
I have learned very important lessons watching these police shows and I would remain silent guilty or not

😂😂😂
Fuck the chickens? Well, I’ll be damned detective how did you know that? I mean..
🤣
😂😂😂😂😩😩😩
She was getting info so I would not have been fed up. I also love and have chickens so I could talk about chickens all day. This was an excellent demonstration of finding who he was comfortable with - NOT males. Then using a female he knew to validate him and listen to him and his generic life issues. To hear about his stressors such as the wife's accident and maybe the guy he shot was a drunk driver, we don't know. It takes a special person with training and insight into themselves and a deep control as each word out of your mouth must be a reflection of what is needed for the other person. She was insightful and knew he wanted to be viewed in a certain light. That he had regular life problems like his wife controlling the tv and once she got him talking she could listen and validate him and also slightly steer to the info she needed. She was very subtle in doing this which is why it felt boring but she was very talented. She read his body language of when to back of and knew when to change the subject even when her question was not about the crime itself. Her flow didn't feel like she was using her training but that this was natural. I think she did fairly well.
Shoutout to that lady for withstanding these boring and awkward small talks and pretending to be interested in the things he is saying lol

This guy is obviously sick and doesn’t even realize it. Nobody in their right mind would shoot another human being in cold blood period. I’ve been in some very stressful situations where guys have tried to kill me by plotting, but they couldn’t pull it off.

In the 2010 Supreme Court case Berghuis vs Thompkins says that if the right to remain silent or they request a lawyer at any time during the interrogation then the interrogation must stop.
I don’t know if his statements after he asks to remain silent would even be admissible in court. They stop once he asks for a lawyer but when he says he wants to remain silent and I plead the fifth from what I’m seeing they are supposed to stop questioning him then.

I can see how easy it would be to scare an innocent person in to a false confession.
It happens hundreds of times/day in the United States alone.
Indeed, psychologically an innocent person will never confess to a crime that they didn't commit, unless done so via intimidation or coercion, so the police need to make sure that their tactics don't come across too scary because if the suspect claims they confessed out of fear or that they were forced, it can render the confession inadmissible
