If I'm innocent, should I talk to police?
The criminal justice system is composed of human beings, who are imperfect. As a result, innocent people are frequently victims of an imperfect criminal justice system that is designed to inflict harsh punishment. All too often, perfectly innocent people attempting desperately to convey their innocence create additional opportunities for their words to be used against them.
If you are innocent, it is especially important not to talk to the police until you have a lawyer. Our prisons are full of people who claim they are innocent, and many of those people are actually telling the truth.
To learn more, watch the famous "Never Talk to the Police" lecture by Regent University Law School Professor James Duane. It's followed up by an equally compelling lecture by Officer George Bruch who talks about how he successfully interrogates suspects.
