You shouldn't need to be asking yourself that as you shouldn't be going around committing crimes?
But even then, talk to an attorney if you want to confess something and he will tell you how to do that. I dont know the situation in the US, but I would assume it would also involve the prosecutor instead of the police.
- umvi 8y ago> You shouldn't need to be asking yourself that as you shouldn't be going around committing crimes? Some people feel guilty after committing crimes and turn themselves in. I'm asking on behalf of those types. Why is it a bad idea for them to just show up at the police department and confess?
- Quekid5 8y agoWell, an obvious problem with it is that they may (will, probably) inadvertently confess to many many more crimes than they realize. A lawyer can help for "negotiating" a fair sentence. (The police & prosecutors will try to pin as much as possible on you. It's all about those numbers.)
- jstarfish 8y agoYou lose any negotiating power. You may feel guilty, but not enough to commit seppuku. So you can at least request your mortal body not be placed in the local hellhole prison, get a more reasonable sentence, etc. This is done by having a lawyer negotiating on your behalf.
