The Police ARE NOT your friend. Those words are so true. Im glad videos like this are out there for people to see.
Be calm don't freakout
There are no truer words (from a legal perspective) than that.
1:15 The police aren’t your friends and they are not there to help you. - no truer words have ever been said
Absolutely 10,000 Percent True!
The first rule of talking to the police is don't talk to the police.
👍👍👍😁
Ever dealt with cops? They tell you: you have the right to remain silent. And right after this they keep pushing you to talk, threaten, lock you out... Keep your posture!
More Canadians need to hear, learn and internalize this advice. It could make a world of difference in your life, and in the difficulty of the task set before your lawyer. The RCMP, the OPP, the VPD are not there to help you. They're there to get convictions as expediently as possible, no matter how innocent or guilty you are.
O.T. Oss
Absolutely!!!!
The RCMP, the OPP, the VPD, Metropolitan Toronto Police. All those people. All the VERY same mentality.
They ARE NOT there to help you in ANY way. I don't care what they claim/ say..
It is more like.... If they THINK you are guilty, thats all that really counts for them. Thats it..!
Forget what they taught in school.... Truth is, Police ARE NOT your friends. Never where, and NEVER will be...
Trust me folks, he's right! this is the best LIFE advice you'll ever get...remember it!
YES...!
You might mention that
1. The police are legally allowed to lie to you and about you.
2. The police consider anything you say as evidence--by saying anything you're the source of evidence that may convict you.
3. The police do not care if you're innocent; they only care that they can make and close a case, even if that means you go to jail for something you did not do.
4. For the police Rule #1 is close the case whether the defendant is guilty or not.
5. For the police Rule #2 is see Rule #1.
cops ... do not care who they convict .... THEY NEED AN ARREST /// ANY FUCKING Arrest will dooo ............
FOr fuck sake ...... cops ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND ....
Howeverrrrrr. Most police DO care if they get the right people. They dont just have no conscience
The Police do care if they've got the right person.
Only a CLOWN wouldn't care & just take the first person they come across.
Your being naive. @kelseywilson8435
ABSOLUTELY Stay Silent!
Only a drunk person or an idiot would talk to cops, in fact never approach police, it’s not that their bad people it’s just that they have a job to do which is to find anything incriminating against you
Cops are mostly bad people.
@Abdullahi Ahmed - You're being naive. The police are invariably very bad people.
I've known quite a few RCMP in my life. I wouldn't trust one of them. Not one. Do NOT think any Police are on your side, they aren't.
Believe me... They ARE bad people. They are NOT there to "serve the community". Total B.S.
The RCMP.
Toronto Police.
Durham Regional police.
Whatever!
All that Crap. I have seen first hand what that gang is all about. In the end, they ARE all the same.
They ARE NOT your friends. Never where, and NEVER EVER will be...
@@flatlineoptimism2600
Only certain people want to be police. And they are never are of the good sort..!
"50% of you will talk" ... actually it's been proven in the USA, when suspects are read their Miranda rights, 80% of suspects waive these rights, which is always a terrible decision for obvious reasons. And that's where the police MUST read you your rights; I don't believe the police in Canada have to read you your rights. So in Canada, I'm sure over 90% will talk, not just 50%.
Exercise your right for legal council. NO COMMENT with officers.
No - pigs are not your friends.
Good to have this from a Canadian channel. I was just rewatching that old "Don't Talk to the Police" video, and it occurred to me that in most areas I know a lot more about American law than I do about Canadian law. I wasn't even sure if I had the same right to silence or right against self-incrimination. Seeing this video is a coincidence (I'd already found it before looking up Canadian law, not knowing it was made by a Canadian firm), but it's good to have it spelled out in plain English that the advice is substantially the same.
Same here I’ve been watching American audit for a long time and it also accrued to me that I know nothing about Canadian law, this is the closest thing I could find on UA-cam did you have any luck with what you were looking for ? Plus if you are interested I ordered the charter rights and freedoms from our federal government, it’s really nice to have and kind of opens your eyes in how you interpret things ( if you haven’t red them before) 😁👍 take care
@@douglasnicholson4151 no they don't help and its a network between them, the courts and the hospital, the law
I'm in the same position. I have been watching many videos about the police in the US, but I do not the law in my own country. This is the first video I've watched about Canadian Law.
@@JustAllinOneResourcethe biggest difference here is we don't have a 'plead the fifth' in Canada. If you take the stand, you have to answer the questions. That's why staying silent in Canada is even more important than in the USA
Same
It's shocking that after seeing this 50% of people will still yap yap yap. Unbelievable.
Don't do the cops job for them.
Please go deeper into Canadian and province law about talking to the police. Thank you!
Thanks for educating us
When I was in training as a social worker, we were told to NEVER SAY ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT TO HEAR REPEATED IN COURT. Damned good advice. But even that might be too much. "Authorities" and lawyers are trained in techniques which will twist your words and your intentions so wildly out of context you won't believe you're on the same planet.
Yes, I can see why we would be prone to tell our truth, but as you say, they are building a case not being a mediator or counselor. Great advice, thanks
Never talk to the police even with your attorney present. Communicate through your attorney, never communicate directly. Remember the police can lie to you to get you to incriminate yourself and that will not be thrown out at a suppression hearing. if the individuals that I represent had just followed that simple procedure, my job of defending them would be so much easier.
Rule #1: faak the popo. #2: never talk to them. #3: lawyers are sharks - very true as well.
Thank you! 👍🏻
Always Attorney up and remain Silent. Hire a Attorney. Thank you for this video
Nice to see a Windsor lawyer dispensing this invaluable advice.
Thank you for enlightening us Canadians on the law!
Thanks!
Thank you very much for this video. i will watch all of your videos. i totally agree of what you said.
Thank you for sharing your expertise
Great video thankyou
Thanks for the advice now I know
Thank You. Anything promoting rights is good.
Thank You sir for your time and effort.
People must learn to exercise their rights!
If your guilty you need a lawyer, if your innocent you definitely need a lawyer!
I believe you, thanks.
Very well said
Exactly. Police in Canada are not your friends. Neither the lawyers. Man, I remember when I was charged how I wanted to tell my story at least to someone... Nobody cared. I never had a chance to tell, my story to anyone. Nobody ever was in a position to hear it... I represented me myself and won in two criminal and following civil courts. They dropped the charges before any hearing. So sad. I wanted everyone to hear my story. 😊
Attorney up always. Tell the police have a good day and remain Silent. Always Attorney up and remain Silent.
Love it. Thank you for posting this. Such important information. We need more people like you in this world! Many Thanks!
If there were more people like him, there would be countless more criminals walking the street. I play cards with a veteran detective. He told me most crimes against children (particularly sexual crimes) would never be proven in court if the perpetrator exercised their right to remain silent.
Many correctional institutions house innocent individuals due to instances of misconduct, negligence, or incompetence within the police force. Engaging in an [honest] discussion with 'your' veteran detective might provide insights into the behavior of his follow colleagues when they believe they are not under scrutiny.@@murray8378
I wonder if your veteran detective gives a rat’s rear end about the innocent people that police have railroaded into a conviction. I bet he doesn’t.
If they believe they have enough grounds to arrest you, Let them use it in court. There is no need for you to talk and give them information they don't have. And then whatever information they need that they don't get out of you they get it out of your lawyer.
Short answer: No
Long answer: Nooooo
Attorney up always. Tell the police have a good day. Remain Silent
The police are not your friend
the “rolling ride check” is my favourite thing… this seams like a no reason excuse to pull me over, it happened to me after an afternoon shift on my way home from work
Always Attorney up and remain Silent. Miranda rights. Hire a good Attorney who will fight for you. Remain Silent Always
When I did that the lawyer that was assigned to me told me to just plead guilty, and that my night would be esier that way.
Always Attorney up. Tell the police have a good day. Remain Silent.
What if they come talk to me for my side and it isn’t a criminal violation? Just a ticket for a “pushing match”?
I believe you.
Always Attorney up and remain Silent. Miranda rights remain Silent. Always Attorney up and remain Silent.
Thanks for the information
Always Attorney up. Tell the police have a good day. Remain Silent and always Attorney up
Here is what I have heard after telling the police “I want to talk to my lawyer”, they then come back and say “so you are guilty, otherwise you would not need a lawyer”.
Yep, and that's one of the many techniques they use to try and get you to waive your right to remain silent.
Show them your ball sac and proclaim they're gay because they looked at your ball sac.
Yep.
Saynothing police is ot your friends only your lawyer understood sir
Always Attorney up and remain Silent. Hire a professional Attorney.
Does anyone reading this have any advise on how to stay silent under pressure? How not to crack? I know here and now when I'm comfortable in my own home I'll stay silent, but trapped in a police station with officers who can keep me there for a long time badgering me, putting the pressure on me who knows?
Try to multiply 4 digits by 4 digits in your head
just remember anything you say can & will be used against you. wanna make your lawyers job easier? just stay quiet! & remember YOU have the RIGHT to remain SILENT. Its a right! plus 9/10 when a police interrogates you its cus they want you to make their job easy for them. you have to make them work & go through the process. the police just hands out the rope & most people end up hanging themselves
Like the video. Mentioning like the video helps
The problem in Canada is innocent people could get charged on the basis of preventive security. So they can be detained in spite of charter of rights . Then, they pay tons of money to a lawyer to get them bailed , then conditionally discharged. Guess what ? The Crown had the intention to do that from the beginning, and the lawyer helped the crown not the accused to achieve that goal. Under these circumstances if a police officer hates someone, it is enough to tell the crown that guy could represent risk potentially . The most weird thing in Canada police and minister of safety blame the judiciary for rampant crime , and interfere in the crown office affairs publicly. It should be mentioned that the legal process could destroy someone's life, even if he is discharged at the end
I read in the news about someone who was arrested for murder and confessed to the murder in a recorded interrogation with police. Court dismissed the murder charge because a lawyer was not present during the interrogation.
you don't actually have the right to have a lawyer present during questioning in Canada
@@BobSmith911 Buddy, you have a right to a lawyer the moment the word "arrest" comes out of the cop's mouth, and the word "lawyer" should be the only word you say afterward. Like I said, I know of somebody who got off an obvious first degree murder because they confessed during interrogation without their lawyer present. True facts. I also know of other murder investigations where the murderer was either released from custody or had severely reduced conviction because the RCMP completely screwed up the investigation somehow.
EDIT: Also note that being questioned by police and being interrogated by police are two different things: the former is voluntary and consensual, while in the latter you are detained or arrested and cannot leave. But you don't have to answer anything anyways.
Send me a link to an article
@@lb_9202 I personally know all parties involved, so I don't want to give details that could identify me. I will say that it happened in BC in recent years, and it was provincial/local news on multiple occasions. Last time it was on the news is when the guy who was let off was arrested for yet another murder afterwards.
@@vovin8132 Riiiight.
Would you also follow this advice if you were a witness to a crime?
Goooood question !
In certain situations yes
Absolulty dude. If you're a witness you're also a suspect.
Yes, 100% yes. If you feel morally compelled to let the police know something you witnessed, tell them anonymously. Don't attach it to your name.
if a cop were your friend, they wouldn't have pulled you over to begin with
I just came across you videos n enjoying them, I respect good police and trust none. police are doing stupid things to lose the respect of the people.
I lost respect for police quite a while ago. I have seen what they are really about in the past... This was before all the video exposure.
They have earned their hate. Plain and simple...
Is this tip holds true in the UK?
BUT I did ask for a lawyer during questioning, and still asked questions, asked for a lawyer, still kept going, asked for a lawyer, kept asking me more questions for an hour. Not a charter violation?
Could you do more videos like this?
Can you remain silent even if you’re not in custody? Like if youre driving and you’re pulled over ?
Fact. You don't have to prove your innocence.
Can you please do a video talking about any exceptions to the rule of not talking to the police?
If the officer said that you are under arrest then ask for your full name, I believe you are obliged to give it to him
The police can do anything to you they want ,anytime they want . They have no legal obligation to respond to your 911 call. In the states they say now your rights ,here know you have non
If you do not talk with the police, then they will get their associates after you - Hamilton, Ontario, 🍁 - It can result in intimidation + violent assault and even worse 😢
👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Dont be afraid to just be honest with the police. Arresting officer or not.
I have a question. A couple of weeks ago I was parked in a parking lot, having a coffee, reading & waiting o pick up a family member from work to take them to an appointment. I didn't want to drive all the way home & come back out again later. So, I parked. Now, when the time came to leave an RCMP officer pulled into the parking lot turned around & pulled me over.
It took about 2-3 minutes before he came to my window. I'm assuming he already checked my plates & would've seen that I have ZERO priors & no warrants against me. So, walks up & asked for everything. He said there was a call that came in from a guest at the hotel that her ex was following her & she was terrified. I'm sure she would've given her BF's identity to whomever she was talking to. I didn't record & I complied with everything he asked. Did I have to in this situation? I've always had the attitude of complying is easier to do when you know you've done nothing wrong. Cheers
Because you were "driving", yes - you have to provide your license, insurance and registration upon request in Canada.
@@JimCunningham88 I thought that they only have jurisdiction on public roads.
@Tyrone ShoelacesI believe under care and coontrol if he question you about a possible traffic violation. But this was not understand the traffic act of Canada. Am not sure because a sneaky police if he word it cleverly in Canada he can so what ever he wanted
Under care and control you have to provide the documents but your right to silence is still applicable.
I just cheese it man when I see The Fuzz ! Oink Oink !
Try that in China
The sucky thing is when you get in the cell that phones recorded usually they don't give you a phone fast at the police station call my lawyer have them come down here I paid him $20,000 my lawyer
The cop like nope
Yep pretend to be searant Sholtz ..... I say nothing, I see nothing, I know nothing !
Good ol Sholtz. I know nutzing! Classic show.
So ur say cops dont care if your inocent they just want a coviction
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS .... what part of that do you not understand you fool !!!!
If I am an American pulled over in Canada, what rights do I have?
Faak all.
At what point do the police have to inform you of this right? I do know they did not do this in Kawartha Lakes on a caution reading to an upset wife and also charged the husband and went through the picking up the items by the wife, the paperwork, and then did arrest after 1/2 hour of this when they finally informed of this right.
Thank you it kind of sucks when you keep saying I plead the fifth and then they bring it before judge and say look he keeps talking he's asking for water he's pleading the fifth he's asking for a lawyer he's asking for food ya been there 8 hours 2 in the morning they're asking for your cell to sleep
It's not plead the fifth in Canada, that's the USA
If I have the right to remain silent and anything I say could be used against me, then why dont I have the right to speak and anything I say be used for me?
Often, the primary focus is on closing the case, rather than establishing true guilt or innocence. If delving deeper presents additional work, statements can be taken out of context and used to construct a narrative of guilt, thereby allowing them to conclude their responsibilities.
Is this for Canada 🤔 ty
Yes.
Doing some quick research, this guy is based in Ontario, so it most likely applies to Canada.
@@xcurrentbreeze6626 0:33 "This is a very important right in Canada"
@@leef_me8112 lol I just went to his website, but I guess listening closely to the video works too
@@xcurrentbreeze6626 I happen to have EXTREMELY good hearing, and since I see many videos I listen for that type of info. I meant no disrespect.
Look to dean clifford
And never engage cops. If they ask questions, answer them with questions.
Kruse Law: Are you saying or advising not to even say the phrase "I didn't do it"? no matter how innocent you are?
Always communicate through your lawyer. And wait for the disclosure
Subscribe i hope I won't need lawyer and if I do I will for sure use ur expertise sir
Do you still have to give your name and address ? Or just remain silent ?
A.C.A.B
When approached by the cops on the street, first thing you do is pull your phone camera and video them and ask for their name and badge number, because as public servants, they have to give that to you and if you have not committed any sort of infraction and they ask you for your I.D. do not give it to them, because in order for you to have to show I.D. they have to be able to articulate a crime you're about to commit, in the process of committing or you have committed, otherwise you're under absolutely no obligation to disclose your information. And don't give in to their intimidation tactics of say You're acting suspicious or you fit the description of someone we're looking for, because neither one of those can be used as a prerequisite in order for you to divulge your information. Because they'll use those on you whether it's true or not. However, these are the reason's I don't carry I.D. so that if they do arrest me, it's not there for them to take.
If we have the right to remain silent them how come they can screw you if you refuse a breathalizer?. I request to remain silent and dont answer questions or open my mouth after that, why not??
I hear "name, rank, serial number" - the rule soldiers go by when captured by the enemy.
Same applies in Canada with citizens... if they're smart. Give police your name, address, birth date... and then SHUT UP.
As was said, the police have "techniques"... such as LYING TO YOUR FACE. You cannot because if you do you'll be charged with Obstructing Police.
So shut your trap... even to seemingly "friendly" conversation such as "How are you?" Say you answer "OK." Well, it could be highly likely in court a year later you'll hear that cop testify that you said you were "fine" when questioned, just as your defence attorney is trying to convince the court that you were out of your mind with fear. SHUT UP. SHUT UP. SHUT UP.
Are the police allowed to threaten you with a citation if you don't answer their questions?
What do YOU think ?
But IF you're guilty, isn't it the right thing to do to admit it?
No - they'll use the confession against you to give you a severe sentence. Stay silent and always ask for / wait for a lawyer
Think about it, if you’re guilty for a minor crime like shoplifting or possession of marijuana, you’re not gonna admit to it because it was essentially a victimless crime (grocery store chains are just fine if someone steals a loaf of bread). If you committed a more intense crime like robbery or murder, you’re a total criminal and no longer give a damn about morals.
What are you talking about. Law abiding Canadians don’t have any rights in Canada
Talk to them....preach the scripture.
Nothing else.
Scripture says
"no flesh shall be justified by the deeds of the law"
Bye bye copper, it means you are a sinner under judgment already damned to hell
... repent and believe the gospel.
You don't talk and the police stop investigating..take others words as truth and then if you can't afford a lawyer you are f☆☆☆☆☆
You want to talk? Save it for the courtroom.
I always wondered if this were true in canada. thanks. good advice! i offered a neighbourhood kid a summer job on the condition his parents approved. 2 cops show up accusing me of pedophelia! nice neighbours, huh? nice cops. told them to fuck off. they did.
