Invoke the 5th, then don't invoke the 6th, and then leave because you can leave any interrogation if you don't have a lawyer present. (Only works if you were interrogated by police but not in jail (by not being in it or bail paid). Anywhere else, good luck. You'll need it.)
Remember kids, in an interrogation, the police are not your friends and they'll try to get a confession in whichever way is possible. Remain silent and get your lawyer involved. If they tell you that you'd be suspicious to ask that and no innocent person would do it, that's when you know they are not your friends.
If a cop ever says anything derogatory or implies anything regarding speaking with an attorney, their case is toast so that it almost wouldn’t matter, as that is a clearly established fifth amendment violation. Also, it’s important that people try to grasp when Miranda actually applies and the difference between detention and arrest. There is also a litany of established Supreme Court rulings involving providing certain demographic information (think asking for a license during a traffic stop). Though in the majority of cases you should ask for a lawyer, in some cases refusing to speak without a lawyer leads to far more headaches (ask any sovereign citizen wanna be). No reason to turn a petty ticket into a trip to jail or have the police smashing your car, because you thought (wrongly) you had a legal right to ignore them. The biggest tip generally is don’t break the law and you’ll never need to have all the ins and outs memorized.

Most of these can be mitigated by two things 1. Answer slowly or conceisely- for example with the technique that cuts you off and asks another question as you answer, simply stop talking as they ask the second question and when they stop asking then continue with your answer to the first question, only when YOU are finished do you move on 2. Get a lawyer, and just shut up, only speaking when your laweyer tells you to and saying exactly what you you need too and nothing more
#2 should be what you do first, regardless of how guilty you are. It allows you the ability to avoid a majority of these techniques because a good lawyer won't let them badger you, and they are there to keep you from incriminating yourself, whether true or false as to you actually commiting a crime.
If you answer the first question after being asked a second, they will assume you are answering the second. Not because it's logical, but because it's to their advantage.

@@jacobp.2024Hasn’t stopped at least a handful of people being led on by CIA profiling operations that got some susceptible people who towed the line of interest about potential crimes into nearly committing those crimes, which was considered an effective admission of guilt as they were doing something harmful but in a situation where everyone involved couldn’t be hurt because they anticipated what was happening. Still entrapment, though.
No, it is not. Entrapment is police telling someone to commit a crime, then charging them for that crime. This is police telling someone to commit a crime to eventually get a confession to a previous, unrelated crime.
As someone that loves learning about interrogation, thank you for this! Side note: Don't go in without a lawyer, despite TV show logic a lawyer will protect you from being fooled into a false confession!

Mr big would literally be illegal in Germany, since persuading someone to commit a crime is a crime itself. I mean what's the logic behind "We're gonna punish you for the crimes that we made you do"? That just sounds like individualized discrimination with extra steps
I assume they get around it by having the things they order not actually be crimes. E.g. transport "drugs" (that are actually mundane imitations) to a "buyer" (another undercover police officer). So the victim thinks they've committed a crime, which is enough to leverage the confession later, but no actual crime has taken place.
The PEACE technique seems like the smartest one here, in my opinion. Breaking the entire situation down and letting the suspect tell their story is a really good way to gather evidence, especially if the suspect seems to contradict what footage has shown. It's also nice that they even evaluate everything afterward to make sure they have the full story.
"Mr. Big" seems like it's only useful as a way to extort the poor and desperate, really. I've been homeless. You have no idea what hunger *actually* feels like until you haven't eaten anything for a week or two. Body crying out for anything. Even bugs start to look good. So when you take someone living in that situation and promise them an escape, of course they're going to take the opportunity regardless of legality. Like dangling steak in front of the dog, then yanking it away when he jumps to bite it, and throwing him in prison for even thinking to do it. Then again who doesn't hate the poor except the poor?
Also worth mentioning that Pride and Ego Down has an inverse technique, Pride and Ego Up, which is what it sounds like - complimenting the suspect and telling them how smart they are, in hopes that they'll relax and open up more. Sometimes they'll couple that with the good cop bad cop technique, usually having the good cop doing the Pride and Ego Up and the bad cop doing Pride and Ego Down.
Remember, you can be arrested and not have Miranda Rights read. The officer doesn't need to ask questions to arrest you, they can just arrest. Questions can come later, and at that point the Miranda Rights need to be stated.

Taking your time to answer and talking slowly counters every single one of these, even if your brain isn't working at full power. Just remain calm under pressure. They don't know anything beyond what you tell them and they can't legally make you say something you don't want to. "I refuse to answer that" is a valid answer as long as there's no other proof that you did it.

@@Loj84 “Action by law enforcement personnel to lead an otherwise innocent person to commit a crime, in order to arrest and prosecute that person for the crime.” That precisely describes the Mr Big strategy.
I get that the police is more relaxed in that situation but rapid fire doesn't seem easy to do. You don't give the suspect enough time to think but you also don't have the time to evaluate the answers and think about your next question.

Mr big made me recall a story I heard about a lady named Pauline Dakin, who’s mother would constantly and mysteriously move her around Canada as a kid, largely from influence of a pastor friend who became like a surrogate father. Later her mother told her that the reason for the weird childhood was because they were targets for a crime syndicate (her estranged father may have gotten involved in the mob and they wanted to clean loose ends) and that the government was secretly protecting them, and there were special places as part of the “weird world” where the mob is combated and targeted people are protected. Pauline later critically thought about it and engaged her mother and the pastor, and it turned out he was making it up and her mother was following along. Most likely a form of mental illness. Not a direct connection but I thought I’d share, it’s a very interesting story.
The goal is to get them to confess something else. Normally, they committed Crime A, and the actors convince them to do Crimes B, C, D, and E. That way, when they confess to Mr. Big, they confess all of the crimes they did, where they can be arrested from Crime A. The problem is that even if they did do that, it's hard to get a full confession from without feeding them information
@@benjamingoodrich7520 ah ok so it isn't entrapment because he's not getting charged for what he did in the fake gang? But doesn't that just make more crime? 💀

Theres an entire jhon oliver episode on how the ried technique has no scientific basis and often causes false confessions by lieing to the suspect about evidence
The defense to every single one of these interrogation tactics, is after the "interviewer" has confirmed your name, date of birth, and address of residence, you answer every question with "am I legally required to answer this question, or engage in a convesation with you in any way?". The answer to this is "no", even if the interviewer lies and says yes. Keep repeating this statement and the interview will end. The sole purpose of a police interview is to get you to self-confess FOR FREE. It does not make your sencence any lighter. Your lawyer is the only one who can negotiate that. And they will have better negotiating powers if you don't give the police a FREE confession.
The one I hate the most is when the cops and your lawyer persuades you to plea guilty by telling you’ll get a lower sentence. But if you don’t then you’ll get a higher sentence. Then when you plea guilty in court, the judge ends up giving you a higher sentence.

Shaggy do story. Tell them a really long winded and convoluted story that doesn't lead anywhere
That will just make you look suspicious
@@thegreatandmightyseff7214 There’s a reason they have to tell you “anything you say can and will be held against you.” Looking suspicious doesn’t hold up in court. Don’t talk to cops.
Quick tip, make sure you say "I invoke the 5th", or they can use silence against you.

Possibly not. If you are charging them on crimes they did before joining the “mafia” and not the ones they did during

Better to just ask for your lawyer or state that you aren’t going to answer any questions until you’ve been given a lawyer.

That's because Mr. Big is entrapment. It's just entrapment. There's no distinction; this would be illegal in the US.

Thats because it literally IS entrapment.
@@jacobp.2024Hasn’t stopped at least a handful of people being led on by CIA profiling operations that got some susceptible people who towed the line of interest about potential crimes into nearly committing those crimes, which was considered an effective admission of guilt as they were doing something harmful but in a situation where everyone involved couldn’t be hurt because they anticipated what was happening. Still entrapment, though.
No, it is not. Entrapment is police telling someone to commit a crime, then charging them for that crime. This is police telling someone to commit a crime to eventually get a confession to a previous, unrelated crime.
As someone that loves learning about interrogation, thank you for this!
Side note: Don't go in without a lawyer, despite TV show logic a lawyer will protect you from being fooled into a false confession!
crazy how much of these get represented in tv and media, deathnote, sherlock holmes and so many others have their interrogation techniques explained clearly and concisely.
I've never known that P.E.A.C.E. was an actual interrogation method... I've used a very similar strategy when trying to assess and resolve conflicts in communities and I had the highest success rate from my team. I'll check that one out further

Having been law enforcement, NEVER talk to the police and NEVER EVER let them into your house.
I can assure you every single cop firmly knows this.
Mr big would literally be illegal in Germany, since persuading someone to commit a crime is a crime itself. I mean what's the logic behind "We're gonna punish you for the crimes that we made you do"? That just sounds like individualized discrimination with extra steps
I think the same in my country, the USA, which is why Canadians can’t talk shit about our police system.
@@ExDixionconderogaAtleast our police aren’t a holes
@@ExDixionconderoga Canada has basically the same entrapment laws the US has.
They aren’t punishing them for the crimes they told them to do.
I assume they get around it by having the things they order not actually be crimes. E.g. transport "drugs" (that are actually mundane imitations) to a "buyer" (another undercover police officer). So the victim thinks they've committed a crime, which is enough to leverage the confession later, but no actual crime has taken place.
The PEACE technique seems like the smartest one here, in my opinion. Breaking the entire situation down and letting the suspect tell their story is a really good way to gather evidence, especially if the suspect seems to contradict what footage has shown. It's also nice that they even evaluate everything afterward to make sure they have the full story.
But at the same time, no ones memory is perfect. Peoples names change, color of a jacket changes, even people who were never there could show up
"Mr. Big" seems like it's only useful as a way to extort the poor and desperate, really. I've been homeless. You have no idea what hunger *actually* feels like until you haven't eaten anything for a week or two. Body crying out for anything. Even bugs start to look good.
So when you take someone living in that situation and promise them an escape, of course they're going to take the opportunity regardless of legality. Like dangling steak in front of the dog, then yanking it away when he jumps to bite it, and throwing him in prison for even thinking to do it.
Then again who doesn't hate the poor except the poor?
I'm writing books with a few interrogation scenes so this is really helpful! Thank you!
Also worth mentioning that Pride and Ego Down has an inverse technique, Pride and Ego Up, which is what it sounds like - complimenting the suspect and telling them how smart they are, in hopes that they'll relax and open up more. Sometimes they'll couple that with the good cop bad cop technique, usually having the good cop doing the Pride and Ego Up and the bad cop doing Pride and Ego Down.
Thank you so much. These really came in handy
My uncle is a cop. In his own words "don't talk to cops. Don't answer their questions. Demand a lawyer and keep quiet."
Remember, you can be arrested and not have Miranda Rights read. The officer doesn't need to ask questions to arrest you, they can just arrest. Questions can come later, and at that point the Miranda Rights need to be stated.

REID is fascinating to watch in real time
it's pretty mentally exhausting to watch, especially when it's used on serial killers
My favorite example of this being used was the interview of Alyssa Bustamante.
This video shows me again what I love about psychology: It is so universal. The human behaviour is predictable and psycholical techniques are universal useful.

Taking your time to answer and talking slowly counters every single one of these, even if your brain isn't working at full power.
Just remain calm under pressure. They don't know anything beyond what you tell them and they can't legally make you say something you don't want to.
"I refuse to answer that" is a valid answer as long as there's no other proof that you did it.
Please do a part 2 with the KUBARK Counterintelligence Interrogation techniques!!

1:35 Why is it called the REID technique? Does it stand for something?
The technique was invented in 1948 by John E. Reid
I get that the police is more relaxed in that situation but rapid fire doesn't seem easy to do. You don't give the suspect enough time to think but you also don't have the time to evaluate the answers and think about your next question.

Mr big made me recall a story I heard about a lady named Pauline Dakin, who’s mother would constantly and mysteriously move her around Canada as a kid, largely from influence of a pastor friend who became like a surrogate father. Later her mother told her that the reason for the weird childhood was because they were targets for a crime syndicate (her estranged father may have gotten involved in the mob and they wanted to clean loose ends) and that the government was secretly protecting them, and there were special places as part of the “weird world” where the mob is combated and targeted people are protected. Pauline later critically thought about it and engaged her mother and the pastor, and it turned out he was making it up and her mother was following along. Most likely a form of mental illness.
Not a direct connection but I thought I’d share, it’s a very interesting story.
Isn't the first one entrapment?
Yea but it's canada
@@frozencatcake we have entrapment laws in Canada
@@someguy7819 òh
The goal is to get them to confess something else. Normally, they committed Crime A, and the actors convince them to do Crimes B, C, D, and E. That way, when they confess to Mr. Big, they confess all of the crimes they did, where they can be arrested from Crime A. The problem is that even if they did do that, it's hard to get a full confession from without feeding them information
@@benjamingoodrich7520 ah ok so it isn't entrapment because he's not getting charged for what he did in the fake gang? But doesn't that just make more crime? 💀

@@CrowdContr0l DNA evidence
The defense to every single one of these interrogation tactics, is after the "interviewer" has confirmed your name, date of birth, and address of residence, you answer every question with "am I legally required to answer this question, or engage in a convesation with you in any way?". The answer to this is "no", even if the interviewer lies and says yes. Keep repeating this statement and the interview will end. The sole purpose of a police interview is to get you to self-confess FOR FREE. It does not make your sencence any lighter. Your lawyer is the only one who can negotiate that. And they will have better negotiating powers if you don't give the police a FREE confession.
These videos are always interesting and explained well, how long does it take to make these types of videos?

Mr. Big is like “when you hit your teammate and all your team goes all out on you”
Mr. Big is entrapment.
No, it isn’t.
The one I hate the most is when the cops and your lawyer persuades you to plea guilty by telling you’ll get a lower sentence. But if you don’t then you’ll get a higher sentence.
Then when you plea guilty in court, the judge ends up giving you a higher sentence.
Imagine just taking the mister big money and running.
That Mr. Big one sounds like entrapment, if they're making the suspect do real crimes, and charging them for those crimes.
They don't charge them for the crimes they tasked them with, only the crimes they confessed to.
