Just like a wise man said "if you have people said about accusation this and that, give them one question 'is there any proofs? The police record? Anything that is really strong enough?' If not don't trust it "and also "if someone said this is my truth, that person basicaly said even my accusation proven to be false it's still right based on my mind" this is the mindset of cancel culture but a sad but true glimpse quote of no matter how strong the proves if he is guilty or not even if you show it infront of their eyes, some will still not gonna believe it . Sorry for the long and late post.
I was arrested and charged with 1st degree murder. The victim came and testified he wasn't dead but his testimony wasn't allowed in court because the victim cannot testify on the defendants behalf. It didn't take 2 years but I was in jail in the maximum security ward with murderers and rapist for almost 6 months before I was released with no charges pressed only after I signed away my rights to sue the state for wrongful imprisonment.
They dont even hear that.. they dont care at all.. you and me find this important but cops dont... they just see a guilty person and want a confession..
That means nothing. You should watch the interrogations of the pedophiles caught in the old To Catch a Predator stings. Almost all of the mask if they should be calling their work the next day to let them know they won't be in. They all expect a little slap on the wrist and to be released that night ,despite driving to a minor's house to have sex with them.

That is the part that put a smile to my face, what really got me emotional is how polite & respectful Michael Dixon is to the racist scumbag detective who didnt even think once that this could be wrong. Its amazing how God changes situation & people like Mr Dixon never loose their temper.
"demoted and suspended without pay" yeah sorry, thats not good enough, not even close. They picked a man up off the street that didn't even remotely resemble the suspect, told him his guilt wasn't in question in an attempt to get a confession, threw him in prison for three days, and couldn't even be bothered to check his alibi in the meantime. At that point the "detective" has proven himself not only to be a useless investigator, but also a liability to the functioning of a criminal justice system. They should be permanently blackballed from any position at any police station or court anywhere. I know there are a lot of cops who have done a lot worse, but honestly our standards for law enforcement are far far too low, even something like this cannot stand
idk it's bad but 3 days of jail time isn't the end of the world. If this works 90% of the time to get an actual confession from a real criminal, then maybe it's more useful than not doing it.

One thing to remember: the police are legally allowed to lie to you about supposed evidence they have against you in order to try and coerce a confession out of you. So if you know you’re innocent without a doubt, *DO NOT TALK TO THE POLICE AND REQUEST YOUR LAWYER IMMEDIATELY.*

At least the fact that there were consequences for the officers beehavior is somewhat satisfying.

The cop couldn`t care less about that. BUt demotion and a blip in his record will teach him to be at least a bit more honest and follow procedure in the future.
Michael is FAR too Canadian. He even tells the investigator "I'm not trying to give you a hard time". MICHAEL, this guy is literally trying to give you HARD TIME!

Fun fact I actually ran into a travelling couple in Wales, they had Canadian leafs on their backpacks but told me they were American they just have Canadian backpacks because people treat them like shit with American flagged ones lol
I feel a deep sadness for Justin. Trying to better yourself and a would be friend screws you over. Then when the police get involved, they make it even worse. How horrible. Clear evidence and lack of evidence puts him back in jail. And all of it hearsay from goddamn girl named Candy.

Like me , my first job was in bus company and i was accused of stealing the money of the passengers. And the HR called me and told me i was seen by the supervisor doing such thing, i said i didn't do that and she said " c'mon man you has been seen by him , now assign here please " . And i kept saying " i didn't do that " And she said again " just sign please " And i thought " maybe if I don't assign they will fire me cuz I'm not obedient, i think it's better i respect them and keep my job , i don't care if they think i stole something cuz i know I'm innocent " Then i assigned the sheet and I left the HR room and one man came to ask me and i said " oh , nothing! They are telling me that i was seen stealing the company but that's no true " And he asked me " did u assign anything?" I said " oh yeah but that's okay cuz i don't wanna they think I'm not obedient " This man got crazy and he asked me " did you steal or not ? I said " i didn't do anything wrong " And he still upset said " wtf did u assign the paper ? Are you stupid? Now you are confirming you stole the company " In that moment my eyes opened and i thought " oh shit that's true " I went to talk to my supervisor and i said " hey man listen, i assigned the paper but i did anything wrong. He said " if u assigned you confess " I became so sad 😞😥 and tried to talk to everyone that i could and i was fired without anything. I was only 18 in that time .
The fact that a detective is thinking “Guilty until proven innocent” is truly backwards thinking. Those detectives shouldn’t even be able to be detectives anymore.
That's how law enforcement are. They get called out and make a judgement call if your innocent or guilty on the spot. Have had this happen to me several times by people who just didn't like me. Actually once got arrested for my friend having drugs on him and all I could say was , it ain't mine. Spent 5 days in jail then spent $1000 bonding out. Luckily the guy went to cot before me and told them I had no idea he had the pills on him. Even crazier I think fact that he has just picked up the prescription and had sat 2 pills on his center console to take once he got something to drink. Cops didn't even care he had a prescription. F em .
*Don't trust cops, get a lawyer!* I've been in this situation before. Not only is being wrongfully accused stressful and depressing, what I was suspected of is vile and egregious compounding the emotions that comes with it. Not only that, but I'm from a small town and the 2 detectives who questioned me while 15 other cops searched my house, one was my former neighbor for years whom I've had beers with and the other was literally my childhood best friend that I had known for 40 years at this point. Still they lied and tried tripping me up just to get a confession.
That creates a society where no one trusts anyone (except for family members). This develops further into a third world country, as no one is able to co-operate. The USA has gone into that path, sorry for you.

It was 2003 and the police officer was plainly from the UK. At that time and before it, the UK was rife with racial prejudice. A government initiated inquiry, headed by Sir William MacPherson, proved this to be the case (c.f. the MacPherson Report). This officer was plainly operating on the trusty principle of black = guilty.
@TheBull916 The white guy knew the owner of the house, had been in prison for the same crime, and he was (wrongly) identified by a witness. Though he was wrongly accused, there were reasons he was handcuffed and questioned. As for the black guy in Canada, where was utterly no reason to hold him...except he is black.
I've been wrongfully accused by my teachers many, many times during my teenage years. Whenever some shit went down in my shool, I was the first to be looked at, which was really annoying, because I had never done any of the things they accused me of. My parents weren't really helpful, as most of the times, they seemed to believe my teachers rather than me. Then I went into reoccuring depressive episodes because of all that stress, which didn't help either. Being really pale and having racoon eyes (because of the depressions, lack of sleep, etc.) didn't help at all. Those mofos started rumors about me taking and selling drugs, which was BS as well. Nobody helped me, nobody sided with me and this went on and on until I finished school. It took a massive impact on me, because eversince then I am scared of getting falsely accused of something really bad, despite me being a perfectly law abiding citizen. Damn....if I'd ever get falsely accused of f.e. murder or rape or something like that and they check my internet history, I am SO fucked, because of all the true crime stuff I watch.

At a time in my younger day's, some 50 year's ago. I happened to look simular to someone wanted by the police, for apparently nothing but questioning. In regards to a crime that though he wasn't directly envolved in, believed he may have some knowledge about. I was maranded properly, and not just detained but arrested, meaning I was photographed, finger printed and put in a cell with other's who were actaull criminal's. It took two day's for them to determine, oop's, wrong guy, and simply stated "SORRY" and allowed me to leave. Which I did post haste. However, because I had been in my auto, they the police had it towed from the area and impounded it. I now have a record on file with my finger print's, photo, and was forced to pay the tow charge and the impound fee. And also had to face my boss for not reporting for work in any way shape or form for two days. This could have been a longer story, becasue it actually doesn't include some of the various thing's I viewed and almost had to endure myself while in the cell with other's who had actaully commited crimes. All were repeat offender's. But yes, today one is guilty until one has either proved them selves, or after a periud of time, the police somehow determine your not.

@@svetaAFG I'll try to steer you guys back towards civility. Having watched JCSs entire library now, it's a tough one. I don't think anyone should be treated like garbage, least of all by police, but it's interesting seeing how detectives DO sometimes manage to break guilty suspects, trapping them into story lines, etc. that I can imagine they might not have gotten JUST with evidence (though hard to say). The main takeaway should always be to NEVER speak to the police without an attorney present, but I can imagine that if you're truly 100% innocent and wanting to genuinely help out that it's hard to think that.
I think CIA's point is that just because they are kind doesn't do much for the police if they are trying to find evidence because monsters can be kind, I personally think it's better to treat people with respect because harassing the innocent is worse than being kind to a monster. They should wait till they have more to go on rather than shoot blindly and injure bystanders until they get the criminal.
@@SaysSamara Oh no, I definitely understood the two sides. It's a bit of the whole "better that 100 guilty go free than 1 innocent be locked up" sort of thing vs. the opposite of that (which is certainly some people's belief too). The good news is that the police from the first video were all disciplined and removed from their positions for the screwup. But I was just noting how I can appreciate that it's probably a very difficult position. I think of the Chris Watts episode JCS did, for example, and had they not broken him, they might well NOT have had the evidence to convict him. Still, that doesn't mean anybody should be berated and to be fair, there was FAR more evidence in the Watts case - albeit still not definitive. I guess I was more just suggesting that there are ethics that should be held dear, but at the end of the day, I can still imagine it's a difficult and uphill battle.
Cop had an English accent, makes you wonder if he'd been in the police in the UK and had to leave for similar behaviour. Lying about evidence to that extent wouldn't be allowed under English law (not since they started recording interviews anyway).
@Sony She's saying that seeing innocent people being harassed, put under duress, and even falsely imprisoned is much more depressing than seeing someone guilty being analyzed, which can be stressful on the viewer in different ways (e.g. nature of crime, individual, etc.)
This is why I never understand people who criticize defense lawyers who are trying to make a case for their client-- like everyone hating Jose Baez or Jodie Arias lawyer etc...it is SOO much worse to convict an innocent person than to let a guilty person walk free. Lawyers NEED to provide the best possible defense and portray all possible reasonable doubt, it makes no sense for people to get so worked up about defebse lawyers doing their job we'd all want them to do for us
Strangely I think the opposite. I feel more hopeful when I watch this. Like come on argue your innocence, but when a guilty person argues I put myself in thier shoes to see if they can really outsmart the cops and I facepalm and cringe at every mistake that makes it obvious they did something.

My uncle is a pretty good and respectable lawyer. His words: "If you ever get called or escorted to a precinct for any reason and you start getting asked questions, the only thing you should say is "am I being detained?" If they say no, you get up and leave immediately. Then you call me. If they say yes, or stop you from leaving, the next and only thing you should say is :I want my phone call", at which point you call me."
Kinda figures that a lawyer would tell you to call a lawyer lol But yes, it doesn't take too many slips in the interrogation room to turn you into a suspect. Hardly anyone is as slick as they think they are
This makes me sick how many people who are innocent get arrested and their lives ruined while the actual person who committed the crime skips away free
When I used to work in the courts here in australia (As a video technician, I was the guy who set up all the video-links, fixed the VHS machines (This was the early 2000s when VHS was still a thing) and a Judge once told me that she estimates that in a jury trial about a 1/3 of the people convicted are innocent and 1/2 of the people found innocent actually did it. Non Jury trials the ratio is a lot better because judges are pretty experienced with reading body language and evaluating evidence, (Thoug they do get to hear the discarded evidence which is usually prejudicial and poor quality), but still would likely be around 1/4 innocent found guilty and 1/4 guilty found innocent. Now, imagine that situation with the death penalty? Terrifying isn't it.

I don't think demotions are enough - people who utterly fail at civil service shouldn't be allowed to continue at all. They should be let go after the first time they hurt someone they're supposed to protect. Keeping them in the career they've proven themselves unworthy of is what's breeding a culture of ineptitude, and hurting more and more people.
TheGreatDrAsian, perfection, is an unattainable goal, whilst trial and error is far from ideal, it can create the ability to critique/have feedback. Civilians who are wrongly prosecuted, like that gentleman was, have other due processes that can compensate them. There is not one system of law, nor civilization that is free from error.
Michael Dixon's reaction to being falsely accused is the reaction of someone who has probably never done anything wrong before and finds the situation utterly ridiculous versus the ginger guy who has been locked up before and knows exactly what's coming and is trying to avoid it all costs. Understandably that's why his reaction is much more emotional.
It's impossible not to get emotional at the thought of going to jail specially if your a law abiding citizen, Micheal is on a different level here, yes you can keep calm but i doubt any innocent person would just accept things like this.
@@deecee7073 I disagree. I believe that video and the commenter was trying to say that Michael as an innocent man can’t believe the situation he’s in and ultimately will find some way out because there’s really no evidence against him. That’s why he was so happy to hear that there’s video evidence
@@deecee7073 lol well you’re obviously wrong because here we have a video of a man who was falsely accused and he managed to stay calm. As tangible as a counter example as you can get lmaooooo
People keep saying that cops aren't your enemies, but they're not your friends either. Their job is to arrest people. Always assume the worst in a interrogation and shut up until your lawyer shows up.
they are also trying to get fast track promotions by getting innocent people to confess and build a reputation as a great interrogator. what a crazy system that encourages bad behaviour not good service. throw cops like that out of the service. show people respect. I hope he got demoted to a lollypop lady (a pleasant woman who helps children cross the road in England and she holds a sign that looks like a giant lollypop to stop traffic) or a library security man.
cops are absolutely your enemy. They do not exist to keep you safe, or to "fight crime", whatever that is supposed to mean. They exist to protect capital.
Yeah never talk to the cops unless your lawyer is present even if you have nothing to hide they will always twist the facts against you even if you have good intentions
@@lunchbag_larry fighting crime typically means stopping people from committing criminal activity. It exists in every sector of society, im not sure how thats hard for people like you to get
@@torwne6964 lawyers are different. Some are definitely sociopaths, others sometimes have to defend the guilty, or make cases against the innocent. That is their job and even the criminal has the right to an attorney under law.
@go away by your logic, it is unfair to assume your parents are their to help you. It is impossible to generalize all investigative officers as completely unwholesome and robotic.
I lived in the U.S. for a few and be falsely accused of something was my biggest nightmare. When I got pulled over for the first time for "following too close" (consequence of being nervous for having a cop follow me too close for ten minutes), I freaked out and knew I couldn't take more risks. Life's is not necessarily better here in Brazil, but at least I can easily blend in and not get profiled the police...
Are you new to this channel? Detectives across the world say this and it works. This would have been a successful interrogation if they could be arsed to follow up his alibi and let him go but... promotion comes first for that arsehole.
"Where were you at the time of the murder?" "I wasn't even born as it was 20 years ago and I'm 18." "So you have no alibi. I think we're done here, book him."
Let me get this straight. The cops are chasing a man who was caught robbing a jewelry store. They chase the small white man down the alley, lose sight of him for a second, then they regain sight of him and he's magically a 6'3 black man?
My guess? They were chasing agent 47 and he slipped into a new disguise just in time for them to see this bald guy and arrest him instead. A real 500iq silent assassin move.
They are trick questions. All you have to do is answer one or two questions that seem innocent, and now they have the "evidence" and the "confession" to charge you with the crime. They will ask you a series of questions that are similar, with harmless answers, and then they twist your words to fit the motive.
Racism runs very deep in the justice system, I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t his first time and if his colleagues and higher ups have also wrongfully incarcerated other black people. They often protect each other when they’re all doing the same crooked shit.
Seriously, if nothing else, Michael is incredibly intelligent. He read motive with ease, and kept his head in a very consequential situation. I hope his boss saw that, and was able to acknowledge how lucky they are to have him.
I feel so horrible for the second guy. The way he slowly increases his leg shake as he puts two and two together and realizes he's being falsely accused is heartbreaking. He knew he wasn't going to be believed because he has a history
yea i mean especially knowing in your heart, that they don't have any kind of evidence to support their claims. just absolutely shitty and horrific feeling im sure.
Nothing in the world makes me more furious than being accused of something I didn't do. It's also one of my biggest fears to be accused of a crime. I would be absolutely LOSING it! My reaction probably wouldn't do me any favors in court. 😂😂😂
Hey, this kind of visual comparison between the psychology of people who have committed a crime and those who have not is especially interesting. In your past videos you've done an amazing job at explaining how a suspect's behavior during interrogation betrays their psychology. In this video you've gone that much further by contrasting such behaviours in detail by using past cases. This is amazing work. Thank you.
I agree! Very intriguing. I study applied math. I don’t know shit about detective work but this channel ALWAYS keeps my attention. This video even more.
I would've started laughing at him and call him out for lying his ass off, that he's unqualified for his job, and to thank him for the future lawsuit money.
Bro you and JCS are completely skipping over the racial factor at play. "Despite the suspect being described as a short white man" and while Mr. Dickson did not know that, he understood that he was a black man under control of police who were up to some bullshit. I've been in that situation a few times myself, I'm queer and white and it was in a very conservative town, and eventually you get an instinct for detecting bullshit. Much like the analysis of hindsight, you learn to identify certain behaviors that can only be a result of some bullshit going on. In this case, yes we can directly point to the detective ignoring the clear difference between the description of the perpetrator and the person sitting in the interrogation room. In that situation you don't know what's going on and you know that, so the most reasonable thing to do is be polite as possible while getting information and holding your ground.
@@misteral9045As a Black woman, I really appreciate you bringing up the racial factor here!! Thank-you for caring enough and being educated enough to speak on it! I'm so sorry you've been judged bc of your identity as well 💔
The amount of innocent people behind bars especially in the United states is a truly terrifying thought. I can't even imagine what it would be like. It's extremely depressing to see how many people inside the justice system that are supposedly their to serve justice do not care if real criminals Run Free while innocent people rot in prison as long as they have numbers that look good. Also, I wonder when the next video from this channel is going to be uploaded it's a brilliant channel but it's been sometime since the last one
Anyone else think the whole getting a confession without evidence thing is stupid? It's like, "Congrats, you pressured someone into admitting to something they may not have done. Here's a promotion!"
Well in their minds its more like; " Gratz, there was no evidence to solve this mystery but you solved it". But we all know that the guy might be innocent. And it's just a cope out mechanism.
Wait till you see how it works in Japan. It's so much worse there. It's similar to the Salem witch trials where they ask you over and over again till eventually you break down and "confess" because you know they won't take no for a answer. I know they do that in other countries too, but at the top of my head that's the only place I know for a fact does it
I agree, I get the skill it would take to do that but we can’t just assume they’ve been properly trained in understanding human behaviours and being able to help the accused maintain their right state of mind. Most people would be scared and vulnerable to coercion bc they’re probably given false hope that it would make things easier; not everyone has a strong enough will or the confidence to keep their story straight when someone of authority is questioning their innocence for hours on end. That makes this method so unreliable... in my opinion at least 😅
Ok so here as a break down here. So as a junior police cadet what we are taught is that me you or anyone else 90% of the time will go yea i did it arrest me. so we pressure them into only if we think there bullshitting us you can tell very quickly if there bullshitting you so we go man just dont lie to me we got you doing it here here and here we got witnessses to the best thing you can do is talk to us and we will tell the judge that you admited to it and even saw the error of your ways. most the time they go yea man i did it i just kind of needed some food and stuff. and we go yea alright man well lets get you to the station we will get you a clean cell and stuff thanks for being honnest with us
That's the thing about all this stuff, it works great when a person is guilty but can backfire horribly when the person is innocent. These videos often highlight the "Reid technique". It can be a powerful tool in getting a guilty person to confess, but it's criticized for how often it has produced false confessions. And these issues apply to torture as well.
it must be so terrifying to be in a room with someone confidently telling you that you are guilty for something you had literally NOTHING to do with. my anxiety is so bad in normal living situations. i’m quite confident i would have a stroke of some sort!
Oh my God I can't even imagine. The full force of the government is coming down on your head and stuffing you into a cage for something you had absolutely nothing to do with. And what can you do? Just telling the truth isn't good enough. You have to prove that you didn't do what was done. (Yeah yeah innocent until proven guilty isn't always the way it's done. A cop's word is basically 90% of the way to conviction if it's a judge deciding it, and 75% of the way if it's jury. If you don't have hard evidence to prove your innocence or irrefutably contradict the officer's testimony, then that sworn statement and no further evidence is enough to get you convicted) And what makes this sort of thing even worse is you don't even really need to have a perfect storm of bad luck resulting in genuinely mistaken identity or something for this to happen. The perp might be a short white dude and you might be a tall black guy, but they'll arrest you anyway and even refuse to entertain the possibility that your tall black self is not in fact a stubby white guy.
Wrong place at the wrong time is one of my biggest fears.
Holy shit yeah, I sometimes think about that like "what would happen if this happens," or something. I would never want to be put in jail for something that I didn't do.
I got hit with that.. small shit in the end lucky enough because at first I was shook
i see you a lot
Honestly me too that’s so scary
Thats why I like to be at home gaming better than dealing with society’s craziness

"demoted and suspended without pay" yeah sorry, thats not good enough, not even close. They picked a man up off the street that didn't even remotely resemble the suspect, told him his guilt wasn't in question in an attempt to get a confession, threw him in prison for three days, and couldn't even be bothered to check his alibi in the meantime. At that point the "detective" has proven himself not only to be a useless investigator, but also a liability to the functioning of a criminal justice system. They should be permanently blackballed from any position at any police station or court anywhere.

And the HR called me and told me i was seen by the supervisor doing such thing, i said i didn't do that and she said " c'mon man you has been seen by him , now assign here please " .
And i kept saying " i didn't do that "
And she said again " just sign please "
And i thought " maybe if I don't assign they will fire me cuz I'm not obedient, i think it's better i respect them and keep my job , i don't care if they think i stole something cuz i know I'm innocent "
Then i assigned the sheet and I left the HR room and one man came to ask me and i said " oh , nothing! They are telling me that i was seen stealing the company but that's no true "
And he asked me " did u assign anything?"
I said " oh yeah but that's okay cuz i don't wanna they think I'm not obedient "
This man got crazy and he asked me " did you steal or not ? I said " i didn't do anything wrong "
And he still upset said " wtf did u assign the paper ? Are you stupid? Now you are confirming you stole the company "
In that moment my eyes opened and i thought " oh shit that's true "
I went to talk to my supervisor and i said " hey man listen, i assigned the paper but i did anything wrong.
He said " if u assigned you confess "
I became so sad 😞😥 and tried to talk to everyone that i could and i was fired without anything.
I was only 18 in that time .
Imprison the detective.
did my military time aswell, theyre pathetic
“Prove you’re innocent to me” is insane to hear from a detective. Especially when you’re completely wrongly accused.
The fact that a detective is thinking “Guilty until proven innocent” is truly backwards thinking. Those detectives shouldn’t even be able to be detectives anymore.
The onus is on the cop to prove guilt - what a piece of excrement to pull that one...
They get real bitchy when you remind them it's their job to prove you did it, not your job to prove you didn't
That's how law enforcement are. They get called out and make a judgement call if your innocent or guilty on the spot.
Have had this happen to me several times by people who just didn't like me. Actually once got arrested for my friend having drugs on him and all I could say was , it ain't mine.
Spent 5 days in jail then spent $1000 bonding out. Luckily the guy went to cot before me and told them I had no idea he had the pills on him. Even crazier I think fact that he has just picked up the prescription and had sat 2 pills on his center console to take once he got something to drink.
Cops didn't even care he had a prescription. F em .
I know what u mean but unfortunately its exactly what u would here from a detective.
*Don't trust cops, get a lawyer!*
I've been in this situation before. Not only is being wrongfully accused stressful and depressing, what I was suspected of is vile and egregious compounding the emotions that comes with it. Not only that, but I'm from a small town and the 2 detectives who questioned me while 15 other cops searched my house, one was my former neighbor for years whom I've had beers with and the other was literally my childhood best friend that I had known for 40 years at this point. Still they lied and tried tripping me up just to get a confession.
That creates a society where no one trusts anyone (except for family members). This develops further into a third world country, as no one is able to co-operate.
The USA has gone into that path, sorry for you.

But...but...the guy off the bus was a BLACK MAN! It doesn't matter if the witnesses saw a white guy.
It was 2003 and the police officer was plainly from the UK. At that time and before it, the UK was rife with racial prejudice. A government initiated inquiry, headed by Sir William MacPherson, proved this to be the case (c.f. the MacPherson Report). This officer was plainly operating on the trusty principle of black = guilty.
HE WAS BLACK! i thought he did it too
@TheBull916 The white guy knew the owner of the house, had been in prison for the same crime, and he was (wrongly) identified by a witness. Though he was wrongly accused, there were reasons he was handcuffed and questioned. As for the black guy in Canada, where was utterly no reason to hold him...except he is black.
I've been wrongfully accused by my teachers many, many times during my teenage years. Whenever some shit went down in my shool, I was the first to be looked at, which was really annoying, because I had never done any of the things they accused me of. My parents weren't really helpful, as most of the times, they seemed to believe my teachers rather than me. Then I went into reoccuring depressive episodes because of all that stress, which didn't help either. Being really pale and having racoon eyes (because of the depressions, lack of sleep, etc.) didn't help at all. Those mofos started rumors about me taking and selling drugs, which was BS as well. Nobody helped me, nobody sided with me and this went on and on until I finished school. It took a massive impact on me, because eversince then I am scared of getting falsely accused of something really bad, despite me being a perfectly law abiding citizen. Damn....if I'd ever get falsely accused of f.e. murder or rape or something like that and they check my internet history, I am SO fucked, because of all the true crime stuff I watch. Those poor guys in this video had to go through that shit for real....
But why would everyone look at you when stuff went down? It seems random

At a time in my younger day's, some 50 year's ago. I happened to look simular to someone wanted by the police, for apparently nothing but questioning. In regards to a crime that though he wasn't directly envolved in, believed he may have some knowledge about. I was maranded properly, and not just detained but arrested, meaning I was photographed, finger printed and put in a cell with other's who were actaull criminal's. It took two day's for them to determine, oop's, wrong guy, and simply stated "SORRY" and allowed me to leave. Which I did post haste.
However, because I had been in my auto, they the police had it towed from the area and impounded it. I now have a record on file with my finger print's, photo, and was forced to pay the tow charge and the impound fee. And also had to face my boss for not reporting for work in any way shape or form for two days.
This could have been a longer story, becasue it actually doesn't include some of the various thing's I viewed and almost had to endure myself while in the cell with other's who had actaully commited crimes. All were repeat offender's. But yes, today one is guilty until one has either proved them selves, or after a periud of time, the police somehow determine your not.
Should have sued.
i feel so bad for the one guy who turned his life around only to be wrongfully charged.
Wish I knew who he was so I could send him a card. Luckily I’ve never had this happen legally, but in my engineering career, coworkers’ ethics has been a huge issue for me. It’s like people are happily and willingly delusional because it “gets the job done”
Yeah this happens way too often. There was another man who tried to turn his life around and started a family only to be wrongfully accused of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Those cops probably beat their wives.
I could feel his emotions, hard not to get upset knowing this happened to him and will continue to happen to innocent people.

@@svetaAFG I'll try to steer you guys back towards civility. Having watched JCSs entire library now, it's a tough one. I don't think anyone should be treated like garbage, least of all by police, but it's interesting seeing how detectives DO sometimes manage to break guilty suspects, trapping them into story lines, etc. that I can imagine they might not have gotten JUST with evidence (though hard to say). The main takeaway should always be to NEVER speak to the police without an attorney present, but I can imagine that if you're truly 100% innocent and wanting to genuinely help out that it's hard to think that.
I think CIA's point is that just because they are kind doesn't do much for the police if they are trying to find evidence because monsters can be kind, I personally think it's better to treat people with respect because harassing the innocent is worse than being kind to a monster. They should wait till they have more to go on rather than shoot blindly and injure bystanders until they get the criminal.
@@SaysSamara Oh no, I definitely understood the two sides. It's a bit of the whole "better that 100 guilty go free than 1 innocent be locked up" sort of thing vs. the opposite of that (which is certainly some people's belief too). The good news is that the police from the first video were all disciplined and removed from their positions for the screwup. But I was just noting how I can appreciate that it's probably a very difficult position. I think of the Chris Watts episode JCS did, for example, and had they not broken him, they might well NOT have had the evidence to convict him. Still, that doesn't mean anybody should be berated and to be fair, there was FAR more evidence in the Watts case - albeit still not definitive. I guess I was more just suggesting that there are ethics that should be held dear, but at the end of the day, I can still imagine it's a difficult and uphill battle.

@Sony She's saying that seeing innocent people being harassed, put under duress, and even falsely imprisoned is much more depressing than seeing someone guilty being analyzed, which can be stressful on the viewer in different ways (e.g. nature of crime, individual, etc.)
This is why I never understand people who criticize defense lawyers who are trying to make a case for their client-- like everyone hating Jose Baez or Jodie Arias lawyer etc...it is SOO much worse to convict an innocent person than to let a guilty person walk free. Lawyers NEED to provide the best possible defense and portray all possible reasonable doubt, it makes no sense for people to get so worked up about defebse lawyers doing their job we'd all want them to do for us
Strangely I think the opposite. I feel more hopeful when I watch this. Like come on argue your innocence, but when a guilty person argues I put myself in thier shoes to see if they can really outsmart the cops and I facepalm and cringe at every mistake that makes it obvious they did something.

His words: "If you ever get called or escorted to a precinct for any reason and you start getting asked questions, the only thing you should say is "am I being detained?" If they say no, you get up and leave immediately. Then you call me. If they say yes, or stop you from leaving, the next and only thing you should say is :I want my phone call", at which point you call me."
@John Smith in either case, call a lawyer.. does not have to be jim's uncle :)
Kinda figures that a lawyer would tell you to call a lawyer lol
But yes, it doesn't take too many slips in the interrogation room to turn you into a suspect. Hardly anyone is as slick as they think they are
What if I don't have your uncle's phone number?
Better call saul!

This makes me sick how many people who are innocent get arrested and their lives ruined while the actual person who committed the crime skips away free
When I used to work in the courts here in australia (As a video technician, I was the guy who set up all the video-links, fixed the VHS machines (This was the early 2000s when VHS was still a thing) and a Judge once told me that she estimates that in a jury trial about a 1/3 of the people convicted are innocent and 1/2 of the people found innocent actually did it. Non Jury trials the ratio is a lot better because judges are pretty experienced with reading body language and evaluating evidence, (Thoug they do get to hear the discarded evidence which is usually prejudicial and poor quality), but still would likely be around 1/4 innocent found guilty and 1/4 guilty found innocent.
Now, imagine that situation with the death penalty? Terrifying isn't it.

I know I hope I would have as much patience as him but I feel like I would be a wreck.
He's Canadian thats why lol
I don't think demotions are enough - people who utterly fail at civil service shouldn't be allowed to continue at all. They should be let go after the first time they hurt someone they're supposed to protect. Keeping them in the career they've proven themselves unworthy of is what's breeding a culture of ineptitude, and hurting more and more people.
I’m watching that man thinking, “that’s probably how I would approach it too” yikes.
TheGreatDrAsian, perfection, is an unattainable goal, whilst trial and error is far from ideal, it can create the ability to critique/have feedback.
Civilians who are wrongly prosecuted, like that gentleman was, have other due processes that can compensate them.
There is not one system of law, nor civilization that is free from error.
Michael Dixon's reaction to being falsely accused is the reaction of someone who has probably never done anything wrong before and finds the situation utterly ridiculous versus the ginger guy who has been locked up before and knows exactly what's coming and is trying to avoid it all costs. Understandably that's why his reaction is much more emotional.
good way to sum it up
It's impossible not to get emotional at the thought of going to jail specially if your a law abiding citizen, Micheal is on a different level here, yes you can keep calm but i doubt any innocent person would just accept things like this.
@@deecee7073 So, you're saying Michael WASN'T innocent??
@@deecee7073 I disagree. I believe that video and the commenter was trying to say that Michael as an innocent man can’t believe the situation he’s in and ultimately will find some way out because there’s really no evidence against him. That’s why he was so happy to hear that there’s video evidence
@@deecee7073 lol well you’re obviously wrong because here we have a video of a man who was falsely accused and he managed to stay calm. As tangible as a counter example as you can get lmaooooo
That put a smile on my face at the end. It is TRAUMATIZING being accused to such an extent, and I'm glad Michael was okay at the end.
People keep saying that cops aren't your enemies, but they're not your friends either.
Their job is to arrest people. Always assume the worst in a interrogation and shut up until your lawyer shows up.
they are also trying to get fast track promotions by getting innocent people to confess and build a reputation as a great interrogator. what a crazy system that encourages bad behaviour not good service. throw cops like that out of the service. show people respect. I hope he got demoted to a lollypop lady (a pleasant woman who helps children cross the road in England and she holds a sign that looks like a giant lollypop to stop traffic) or a library security man.
cops are absolutely your enemy. They do not exist to keep you safe, or to "fight crime", whatever that is supposed to mean. They exist to protect capital.
Especially detectives and lawyers.
Yeah never talk to the cops unless your lawyer is present even if you have nothing to hide they will always twist the facts against you even if you have good intentions
@@lunchbag_larry fighting crime typically means stopping people from committing criminal activity. It exists in every sector of society, im not sure how thats hard for people like you to get

@@torwne6964 lawyers are different. Some are definitely sociopaths, others sometimes have to defend the guilty, or make cases against the innocent. That is their job and even the criminal has the right to an attorney under law.

@go away by your logic, it is unfair to assume your parents are their to help you. It is impossible to generalize all investigative officers as completely unwholesome and robotic.
He was lying at that point in time lol they don't have access to camera footage for the first day usually
I lived in the U.S. for a few and be falsely accused of something was my biggest nightmare. When I got pulled over for the first time for "following too close" (consequence of being nervous for having a cop follow me too close for ten minutes), I freaked out and knew I couldn't take more risks. Life's is not necessarily better here in Brazil, but at least I can easily blend in and not get profiled the police...
How were you falsely accused if you admit to doing what they said you did?
Nervousness isn't an excuse for driving erratically or dangerously.
Are you saying were you racially profiled?
“Wether you did it or not isn’t up for discussion”. They definitely need to re learn their job.
That cop definitely looks at himself in the mirror every morning and says " I AM THE LAW"
Are you new to this channel? Detectives across the world say this and it works. This would have been a successful interrogation if they could be arsed to follow up his alibi and let him go but... promotion comes first for that arsehole.

Police arrests literally anybody: "The evidence we have is overwhelming"
Police states
"WE KNOW YOU DID IT"
"Where were you at the time of the murder?"
"I wasn't even born as it was 20 years ago and I'm 18."
"So you have no alibi. I think we're done here, book him."
As much as it's a horrific strategy, it's a method they do to gain a confession
they do it to scare the suspect into confessing before the interrogation. you’d be surprised that it works (sometimes)
I feel so bad for this poor guy. He seems so sweet and the officers treated him so poorly.
Let me get this straight. The cops are chasing a man who was caught robbing a jewelry store. They chase the small white man down the alley, lose sight of him for a second, then they regain sight of him and he's magically a 6'3 black man?
Nah nah that’s a magical ally
racism and incompetence, what a fantastic duo
@@LuxConcordiae
Pretty sure incompetence explains everything. Especially because you don't know the color of the arresting officer.
My guess? They were chasing agent 47 and he slipped into a new disguise just in time for them to see this bald guy and arrest him instead. A real 500iq silent assassin move.
Cops don't give one shit about the truth, only closing cases.
Man just imagine how many innocents souls have died without proving their innocence

"I mean did she see you sleeping at that time"
What a stupid question. If he was sleeping, how can he know if his mother saw him sleeping or not?
lol
Those are trap questions, most of the time people who are guilty trying to look innocent will fall for them and kinda dig themselves in a hole lol
Lmao the detective didn't think twice before asking the question
@@JosephSampson Sadly innocent people can also get confused by them. In the moment
They are trick questions. All you have to do is answer one or two questions that seem innocent, and now they have the "evidence" and the "confession" to charge you with the crime. They will ask you a series of questions that are similar, with harmless answers, and then they twist your words to fit the motive.
This unfortunately isn't a rare occurrence. This is why they say you're not supposed to talk to police even if your innocent.
“Demoted and suspended without pay” - so there are happy endings

Right??? Like how?? They just arrest the first person they see???
Racism runs very deep in the justice system, I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t his first time and if his colleagues and higher ups have also wrongfully incarcerated other black people. They often protect each other when they’re all doing the same crooked shit.

He called the bluff of the video camera immediately.

Seriously, if nothing else, Michael is incredibly intelligent. He read motive with ease, and kept his head in a very consequential situation. I hope his boss saw that, and was able to acknowledge how lucky they are to have him.
I feel so horrible for the second guy. The way he slowly increases his leg shake as he puts two and two together and realizes he's being falsely accused is heartbreaking. He knew he wasn't going to be believed because he has a history

Hey, this kind of visual comparison between the psychology of people who have committed a crime and those who have not is especially interesting. In your past videos you've done an amazing job at explaining how a suspect's behavior during interrogation betrays their psychology. In this video you've gone that much further by contrasting such behaviours in detail by using past cases. This is amazing work. Thank you.
I agree 👏
Agreed, also nice to see an innocent person every once in a while.
Agreed, great work. Glad to see innocent people too.
Agreed! Loved to see the compare/contrast, please bring more of it! Big fan :)
I agree! Very intriguing. I study applied math. I don’t know shit about detective work but this channel ALWAYS keeps my attention. This video even more.

This whole thing is astonishing. The fact the guy was polite and courteous throughout is amazing. What a man.
He really pushed the "polite Canadian" stereotype to the limit there.
I would've started laughing at him and call him out for lying his ass off, that he's unqualified for his job, and to thank him for the future lawsuit money.
Bro you and JCS are completely skipping over the racial factor at play. "Despite the suspect being described as a short white man" and while Mr. Dickson did not know that, he understood that he was a black man under control of police who were up to some bullshit. I've been in that situation a few times myself, I'm queer and white and it was in a very conservative town, and eventually you get an instinct for detecting bullshit. Much like the analysis of hindsight, you learn to identify certain behaviors that can only be a result of some bullshit going on. In this case, yes we can directly point to the detective ignoring the clear difference between the description of the perpetrator and the person sitting in the interrogation room. In that situation you don't know what's going on and you know that, so the most reasonable thing to do is be polite as possible while getting information and holding your ground.
I know!! When he said, “ok, well…thank you “ I was done 😂😂
@@misteral9045As a Black woman, I really appreciate you bringing up the racial factor here!! Thank-you for caring enough and being educated enough to speak on it! I'm so sorry you've been judged bc of your identity as well 💔
The amount of innocent people behind bars especially in the United states is a truly terrifying thought. I can't even imagine what it would be like. It's extremely depressing to see how many people inside the justice system that are supposedly their to serve justice do not care if real criminals Run Free while innocent people rot in prison as long as they have numbers that look good. Also, I wonder when the next video from this channel is going to be uploaded it's a brilliant channel but it's been sometime since the last one

Anyone else think the whole getting a confession without evidence thing is stupid? It's like, "Congrats, you pressured someone into admitting to something they may not have done. Here's a promotion!"
Well in their minds its more like; " Gratz, there was no evidence to solve this mystery but you solved it".
But we all know that the guy might be innocent. And it's just a cope out mechanism.
Wait till you see how it works in Japan. It's so much worse there. It's similar to the Salem witch trials where they ask you over and over again till eventually you break down and "confess" because you know they won't take no for a answer. I know they do that in other countries too, but at the top of my head that's the only place I know for a fact does it
I agree, I get the skill it would take to do that but we can’t just assume they’ve been properly trained in understanding human behaviours and being able to help the accused maintain their right state of mind. Most people would be scared and vulnerable to coercion bc they’re probably given false hope that it would make things easier; not everyone has a strong enough will or the confidence to keep their story straight when someone of authority is questioning their innocence for hours on end. That makes this method so unreliable... in my opinion at least 😅
Ok so here as a break down here. So as a junior police cadet what we are taught is that me you or anyone else 90% of the time will go yea i did it arrest me. so we pressure them into only if we think there bullshitting us you can tell very quickly if there bullshitting you so we go man just dont lie to me we got you doing it here here and here we got witnessses to the best thing you can do is talk to us and we will tell the judge that you admited to it and even saw the error of your ways. most the time they go yea man i did it i just kind of needed some food and stuff. and we go yea alright man well lets get you to the station we will get you a clean cell and stuff thanks for being honnest with us
That's the thing about all this stuff, it works great when a person is guilty but can backfire horribly when the person is innocent. These videos often highlight the "Reid technique". It can be a powerful tool in getting a guilty person to confess, but it's criticized for how often it has produced false confessions. And these issues apply to torture as well.
it must be so terrifying to be in a room with someone confidently telling you that you are guilty for something you had literally NOTHING to do with. my anxiety is so bad in normal living situations. i’m quite confident i would have a stroke of some sort!
Oh my God I can't even imagine. The full force of the government is coming down on your head and stuffing you into a cage for something you had absolutely nothing to do with. And what can you do? Just telling the truth isn't good enough. You have to prove that you didn't do what was done. (Yeah yeah innocent until proven guilty isn't always the way it's done. A cop's word is basically 90% of the way to conviction if it's a judge deciding it, and 75% of the way if it's jury. If you don't have hard evidence to prove your innocence or irrefutably contradict the officer's testimony, then that sworn statement and no further evidence is enough to get you convicted)
And what makes this sort of thing even worse is you don't even really need to have a perfect storm of bad luck resulting in genuinely mistaken identity or something for this to happen. The perp might be a short white dude and you might be a tall black guy, but they'll arrest you anyway and even refuse to entertain the possibility that your tall black self is not in fact a stubby white guy.
