minus-squareNotAnotherLemmyUser@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·10 months agoPart of the problem is that cops are legally allowed to lie as an “Interogation Technique” (in the USA at least).
minus-squaresnownyte@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·10 months agoThat’s why you don’t fucking say anything because there’s a reason they say “you have a right to remain silent” But a lot of dumbass people don’t because they believe they can talk their way out of anything.
minus-squaresnownyte@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down3·10 months agoPfffft And you’re to imply that the violators don’t lie? What a joke you are.
minus-squareZoot@reddthat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoIs that not why I explicitly said “could be easily proven”? As long as I’m less of a joke than you, I’m quite content <3.

Do YOU talk and act like this?
