Not necessarily, the DA still tries to get a confession to solidify their case. More the solidity of the case, higher the chances of an indictment turning into a conviction.
@Unknown-qp9ur Things were different 10-20 years ago which is when this show is set. Needing a concealed carry permit in certain places was much more common.
Every time a cop says they have evidence against you in an attempt to make you confess, it's a bluff. If they had any evidence, they wouldn't need your confession.
Partially, juries are fallible and even first hand witness memory is unreliable, at the end of the day they're just people. Innocent people get convicted (sometimes executed) and guilty people go free. If you have very solid evidence AND a confession I think it helps everyone sleep better.
Not exactly true, a confession makes everyone's life easier. They often still interrogate you regardless of whether they have sufficient evidence or not. It makes it much easier to establish motive, and is very convincing to a jury. The rule of thumb is don't talk to them either way.
Mike IS one of the best characters of that series--and one of the best characters of ANY story. And what's INCREDIBLE about that to me is that the ONLY REASON Mike exists as a character ... is that Bob Odenkirk wasn't available for additional scenes that season. Mike was created to fill those plot requirements. Unreal. (Source: Comedy, Comedy, Comedy, Drama by Bob Odenkirk)
Even if they did have something on him if he doesn't talk they have nothing. In a situation like this they Could let him go even with evidence just to watch him. They where trying to take down a multimillion dollar business. Mikes not the type to break so even if they had him dead to rights he would never spill the beans on someone else.

@@BuckyBarnesNC I'm a private detective I'm not a cop but I've been pretty successful at my job. I said if they had something on him they could have let him go just watch him. Getting Mike does nothing for them if he is unwilling to talk.
Mike was one of the coolest characters ever. His death, and realisation he wasn’t going to be able to leave his granddaughter any money, was the saddest part of the series
Except thanks to "good guy" Walter White, he makes sure his former business partners give his money to Mike's grand daughter, through legitimate means so it can't be taken away from her.
lol Mike is not an "absolute G" - he's a murderer who took blood money from his master gus, and he ended up dying and leaving his family nothing because he just couldn't stop poking the bear that eventually killed him. But I guess he had a few "cool scenes"
Walt was a chemical genius. Gus was a salesman’s dream… But MIKE really was the most brilliant character of the show… Thank you Jonathan Banks for encompassing a role so well that it will never be replaced.
The states he dosent have a carry license in are probably Illinois Massachusetts New York New Jersey and Rhode Island. A Utah license is reciprocal in over 40 states.
If the head of the secret service can come from PepsiCo as the head of security, Mike running corporate security for fast food seems totally reasonable.
More than likely in Canon, Hank was just playing possum and knew he was a cop, in actuality this came out before better call Saul, and Mike’s past was fuzzy at best
Because that’s part of an interrogation . They bluff at what they don’t have and don’t tell what they do, it pressure three ways to see what you know, what you’ll divulge and what you’re lying about. There’s literally no upside to talking to them without a lawyer present. Totally innocent or guilty as hell. Shut up until you confer with an attorney. Mike only did to see if they’d tip their hand and to fuck with them bc he knows the game.
The way Mike can have that lifeless stare at you acting clueless while also being 3 steps ahead of the conversation simultaneously is what makes Mike the great character he is .
Love the fact that when Gomez made that bluff to Mike, Hank is giving Gomez the side eye, and then looks at Mike to confirm his suspicion. He knew Gomez screwed up at that point by doing that, and that Mike absolutely called that bluff. Hank being top notch.
@@Glmorrs1thats not true. They could be establishing a motive, trying to learn about accomplices or to get you to rat them out. An interrogation can be the difference between charging someone with second degree murder or first degree. Assume they have a ton on you because often times they do have something. Sometimes its just the icing on the cake of evidence, sometimes its just to speed up the process.
You can accidentally incriminate yourself in a crime, particularly egregious if you didn’t know said action was a crime. If you have the option to refuse to talk, take it, always.
@@ApofisRaxionNecros I mean you always have the option of refusing to talk. If your in a country where they allow torture to get a confession at that point there is nothing you can say either way to be released. Your only chance then is you know someone with powerful connections or someone very rich.
No matter how much they say they have a witness that can place you or we have footage of you doing this. Never give up anything until it’s just you and your lawyer
The idea is that Mike is a cop and knows every angle. A civilian should shut up for sure...but Mike is so versed in legal tactics that he's getting information out of them by talking....not the other way around.
Yea that was a bum move from Gomez, he just went over the fact that he’s a former cop, then you try to pull the “we already have everything we need” while still questioning the guy? That only works on people out of their mind on drugs or withdrawals from drugs
Hi! I'm Saul Goodman. Did you know that you have rights? The Constitution says you do, and so do I. I believe that until proven guilty, every man, woman and child in this country is innocent. That's why I fight for you, Albuquerque!
This is why the writers of this show were so good. This is literally what cops do - they lie to you about what they know (or don't) to trick you into admitting something that you may not have even done.
>mike, you're a former cop
