Author Topic: Supreme Court: "forget the right to remain silent" (not literally)  (Read 954 times)


Because this.
I might watch that later but it's pretty long
what I have to say about the first couple of minutes is that if they ask you weird questions, like "why did you kill him?" you could easily say "I didn't kill him"


Innocent or not you will more the less get kind of nervous around a officer/other government official.


I'm pretty sure this only even applies if you do remain silent
so even if you're more nervous than you've ever been in your entire life, you can say something, and body language isn't usable anymore

I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to leave a store without buying anything because I'm afraid I'll be accused of shoplifting. They say that if you're innocent you shouldn't have anything to worry about, but I can tell you with confidence that if I'm ever being brought in for a crime I didn't commit I'm going to act guilty as forget and I will be screwed.

Actually, I'd probably do a better innocent man if I WAS guilty, at least then I would have had time to prepare my act.

Pretty much all of this.

The problem with "nothing to worry about if innocent" is that that would require us to place 100% faith that no power abuse or wrongful action would occur, and as we have seen, the government is not deserving of that trust.
