What I don‘t get about the not talking to the police stuff is that it destroys all your plausible deniability. I get that if everyone would do it it would probably be great but realistically I don‘t see it being the optimal strategy in all cases
- KerrAvon 4y agoIANAL, but “plausible deniability” isn’t a thing that I’m aware of. Best not to confuse conversational English with sound legal strategy.
- salawat 4y agoPlausible deniability ~= source of reasonable doubt in a jury case, which criminal cases fundamentally are. The bar to convict is "beyond a reasonable doubt". It's not as far a stretch of a colloquialidm as you think, though I'd second your caution around ever relying upon it as a legal strategy, as you have no guarantees that your jury will see plausible the same you do.
