    !!! NEVER !!! - You think you can convince them you're innocent. They already believe you're guilty, and will be very devious to "prove" it. GET A LAWYER AND SAY NOTHING - ALWAYS!!!

    Don't invoke the Fifth, invoke the Sixth: "Yes, Sir, I'd love to answer all your questions, Detective. I'm looking forward to cooperating. But I would like to have an attorney present." Then call an attorney and let _him_ tell the Good Detective that you're not going to answer any questions.

    Absolutely not! Identify yourself and ask for your lawyer and use your right to remain silent. The cops are not your friend and not trying to help you.

    This has happened to me apparently I have touched the inside of a girls leg and asked “am I making you uncomfortable” when I haven’t done this my school basically blamed me straight away and put me in icolation straight away without telling me why and didn’t even say what I’ve been accused of until I got home and they rang my parents and I didn’t even get to defend myself to the school since they didn’t tell me anything and I have a two day suspension and have a meeting with my school on Tuesday

    If a cop says you’re being arrested/questioned about a sex crime. NEVER TALK

      I'd certainly agree that it's generally not safe to talk to an officer during an investigation WITHOUT a lawyer. That being said, under certain circumstances, it CAN be helpful to make a statement to law enforcement WITH a lawyer present. The analysis is complicated and unique to every single situation. But I have certainly had cases with a client facing an allegation where we have decided to come, talk to law enforcement, and that has helped to avoid charges based on a false allegation. Again, each situation is unique, I recommend someone talks with a criminal defense lawyer EXPERIENCED in criminal sexual conduct cases to get advice on whether, in each unique situation, it is best to make a statement with a lawyer present or not to make a statement. Also know that, just because someone chooses NOT to make a statement, does NOT mean that they are guilty. Sometimes there is just NO BENEFIT to making a statement no matter what. Sometimes police are told that if it's a he said/she said, that it's going to be charged no matter what, so in that instance, there may indeed be no benefit to going to the police station just to reiterate "No, this never happened." If they're going to charge it anyway, you may have nothing to gain and there's a risk your words or actions could be twisted and misrepresented. So it truly is a case by case analysis, but make sure you have a good lawyer before making that critical decision.

    I’m guessing most of the times it doesn’t help to talk to the cops is if there’s a possibility the allegations are true.
    Otherwise, you’re gonna be facing a huge legal fee whilst being totally innocent.

    If you're under investigation" by the police or they already have "probable cause" to believe against you! In a criminal case, a few advantageous you already have over the prosecution is exercising your right to remain silent! Because if you should choose to go to trial! The prosecution cannot argue that! he or she was silent therefore they are guilty! Matter of fact, you will probably get a new trial if your prosecutor tries to argue that! And two, the judge will tell the jury that if you should choose not to testify! That can't be held evidence against you that you are guilty! Another advantage you have over the prosecution. Is that it's the state's responsibility and or burden is on the state to prove you guilty Beyond A Reasonable Doubt! It's not your responsibility! So knowing your rights can help you when arrested!

    Piss on the prosecutors: they, like the media, try the case in their own minds and pursue every means to keep the defendant in trouble for as long as possible.

    2:40 Big mistake, never talk to the police when brought in for questioning.
    3:15 I've seen cops who try to prevent a "miscarriage of justice." When they take the stand they talk in favor of the defendant.
    At the George Zimmerman trial, all of the cops talked on his side when they testified.
    A policeman's job is not to prove if someone is guilty or not guilty. When a police man testifies in a case, the defending attorney may ask him if he thinks the defendant is guilty or not guilty.
    He'll say that's not my job and he will not answer that question. Because if he says, "Yes, I know he's guilty" the defense lawyer will move for a dismissal because prejudice to his client.
    If he says "No." than why is he up there?
    Their job is to collect evidence and make a report. 3:31
    A child molestation case is a bad situation to be involved with, because a prosecutor may want to take up the case, and have a feather in his cap among the community.
    And that may act as an inducement for him or her to go ahead with it.
    I know one retired man who was offered a job to drive mentally handy capped children to and from school. The pay was good, but he turned it down cold.
    I knew another who was tutoring children and a lawyer told him what he's doing is highly risky and he stopped doing it.
    The lawyer told him if just one of the kids he's teaching says he did something, he'll have a serious problem that no matter what comes out of it the accusation will always be looming.
    This is a reason why males should seriously consider whether or not he should take a job working with children because there is a risk.
    The accusation was made against Woody Allen in a custody dispute. The judge in the case, Judge Elliot Wilk, was totally not in Woody Allen's corner.
    He issued a court for investigation on the molestation charge. Yale New Haven Hospital conducted the investigation and they exonerated Woody Allen.
    The investigating committee was highly skeptical from the beginning. For one thing there was never any accusation made against Allen like this.
    For another thing in high profile case like that, when it's announced that the investigation is going forward, there are people that come out of the closet with "Me Too."
    That did not happen with Woody Allen.
    Woody Allen even took a polygraph and passed it with flying colors. But the accusation is still looming.

      even if 25-40% cases are researched to be false allegations? Why give them such power?
