re: #5 EiMitch

Do you have any belief in personal responsibility?

The point is that he didn’t have to go. The point is that he was perfectly free to do whatever he wanted. Ignore the request, ,refuse to answer questions, bring a lawyer, answer anything they wanted, etc.

What is your problem with a police officer asking a question that you consider to be self-incriminating? Is it self-incriminating if the person didnt’ do anything? Is “Have you had anything to drink tonight sir?” a self-incriminating question? Should I consult my lawyer before I answer?

All of your hypothetical are not relevant. You don’t know or speak for any and or all prosecutors or police officers. Speaking for the police officers in my family I can kindly tell you to “fuck off” for claiming they aren’t interested in the truth.

If you have a voluntary conversation with a police officer the conversation is admissible. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. It doesn’t matter how many times you linked to cracked. It’s the law and the high court just validated it.
