Regardless of what a cop threatens (or promises as the case may be), they are legally bound to arrest you if they believe a crime has been committed, and are not empowered to make deals with you. You will never talk yourself out of an arrest, but you can talk yourself into one. Therefore you should never talk to the police under any circumstances.
In this case, the guy actually cost himself time by talking to them. Had he refused, since a mere suspicion was not enough to book him, they would have had nothing to do other than connect the Glass and find out that there were no movies on it.
- baddox 13y ago> they are legally bound to... The problem is that cops routinely do things they aren't legally bound to do.
- quadyeast 13y agoWhat if you are a witness to a crime? Do you still only communicate to the police through an attorney?
- downandout 13y agoIn general it's best to only communicate with police through an attorney - without regard to the circumstances. A greater than zero percentage of people start out as witnesses and wind up as suspects.
