Legal Shit

[Saint DH]

I don't really have any other purpose for starting this thread, other than that I wanted to post this video, which I found pretty informative. At the same time, I feel having, at least, a good understanding of the different aspects of law is probably a smart thing. So if anyone else has tidbits of advice or information on how to not get fucked over legally, it now has a place.

I think a lot of people (probably not on this board, but in general) feel that talking to the police when you're innocent is a good thing, hell, t might even be better to talk if you're guilty. I recall television shows, such as Cops, showing police officers talking to suspects and saying things like, "If you just tell me the truth everything will be much easier for you." The suspect usually confesses and the officer arrests them with seeming gentleness, care, and sympathy. The viewer is left thinking that it was good he told truth. On the other hand, these types of shows will often show a suspect who lies and is then arrested in much harsher fashion, with no sympathy from the officers. The viewer is then left thinking, he should have just told the truth.

Sure, I've known for a long time now that if I'm guilty to never talk to the police, but what I didn't know is that, even if I'm innocent and have a valid alibi, I should still never talk to the police.
