Another thing to remember is if somehow you ended up being interrogated by the police (voluntarily) at their station and you decide to be silent. Explicitly state that you are pleading the fifth amendment. This is because sometimes if you just stay silent without saying that, they may try (in court) to say that you chose not to say anything out of guilt. Or you can just not voluntarily go to the station for an interview if you do not have an attorney

None of Below ~ Are an Option. *How do I know?* Cuz there are NO-Options; Left. None. At. All.

The cops are only looking for something they can use to charge you with

Don’t talk to them and don’t do those FSTs.

My life is forever ruined because I talked. Just don't do it!!

Now im in love with this lady attorney... God bless you always !

I'm a 70yr old crusty old man and I've seen this film at least once a year as far back as I can remember. And it still kicks me in the feels every time.

❤

Although this is meant for US audience, I feel that her wisdom can be applied anywhere in the world.

Is this not a joke? You really need to know this, as a law-abiding citizen, living in USA? I’m from Norway, and this feels, well, literally foreign to me. Are there countries in Europe where this type of advice is applicable?

🙏✝️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

As a norwegian this is clear as mud.

So much for "Innocent until proven Guilty". I've seen so many friends et off Scott Free because they kept their mouth closed.

Right on. Thanks for sharing.

Very important information!!!! For ALL to hear, listen and follow her instructions above others. Highlight this comment and video 😎 information is POWER!

I've had only good experiences with talking to cops. Never been arrested. Have had cops after me about 30 times for dirving infractions, DUI suspicions, hit and run etc. Never paid a dime for a lawyer and never wasted any time at the cop shop insisting on a lawyer.

DO NOT TALK TO THE COPS. Your attorney will do that for you.

This is great but sadly cops can just shoot you or Arrest you for nothing. It really sucks and is horrible what they get away with. And you don't need to give info in all states so that's a lie.

_"Shut up!"_ *Best. Advice. Ever.* _"I'm trying to date a criminal defense attorney and she'll never let me get to second base if I consent to a search."_ *Brilliant.*

You don't have rights, unless you know your rights and assert them.

Funny as lawyers are thought of as total scum and leaches in the USA, implying that someone else is worse.

The lawyer is wrong off the bat, when she says most people are instinctively honest. Not even close.

She was good !

Thanks Matt Ruybal for all you do for citizens every day! Truly great public service that can really help people and improve communities.

This Lawyer knows her profession

This is exactly what the Pot Brothers at Law teach people whenever they encounter Law Enforcement.

Why are the police allowed to talk to us?

Aren't they public servants?

Poor production values hurt this video.

I agree with most of what she said but why willingly give up your ID?

There's a critical point she glosses overs. In a court case, third-party statement are generally not allowed; it's called hearsay. (Hearsay is technically any statement not made in court.) If anyone gets on the stand -- including a cop -- and testifies "I heard person X say ...", such testimony can be thrown out (or not allowed in) as hearsay. However, there are several exceptions to the hearsay rule,. One such exception is the "admission of party opponent", which includes self-incriminating statements. So a cop can (and will) be called to testify to any incriminatory statements made by a defendant, but cannot testify to any exculpatory statements, because the latter are expressly forbidden as hearsay. This isn't the cop being a jerk, this is just how the law works. Thus the Miranda warning, "anything you say can and will be used against you". Disclaimer, I am NOT a lawyer, and I've never actually heard a lawyer explain this. Her statement (about the 0:55 mark) of "kinda skating the razors edge of ethics by talking about it" makes me wonder what ethics violation she is skating. Explaining how the law works is unethical?

This video is somewhat older now, but an important point. Depending on the situation, it may not be enough to simply stay silent. It is best to directly, unequivocally and unambiguously state your invocation of the fifth amendment. Ditto for requesting a lawyer -- something like "should I get a lawyer?" or "do I need a lawyer?" are insufficient. Clearly state "I want a lawyer". (Note: I am NOT a lawyer.)

Retired leo here. Shut up! Do not agree to talk. Do not consent to search of your person, home, car. Do not agree to provide finger prints, handwriting samples, documents, etc. If they have probable cause, they will proceed without your consent. Don't obstruct or hinder. They are in charge at the moment. Let them have control. Everything is now video recorded. Show that future jury, and the media your controlled demeanor, courteous speech, respectful tone and assertion of your constitutional rights. Let the cops appear heavy handed and oppressive in their demeanor.

This would be be very informative if there wasnt so much ambient noise and echo in the room that makes it hard to understand what you are saying.

This is just some of the most helpful best advice. Everything she says is relevant and extremely useful information take head of it

If you are being questioned by police, the only things you MUST LEGALLY speak aloud is "I am invoking my 5th amendment right to remain silent and I would like to speak with my attorney". If you are still arrested for "obstruction", do not resist, remember you will be earning potential money sitting in jail wrongfully. You are NOT obligated to be a witness against yourself.

She’s so right when she said that confessions from the innocent and the guilty sound exactly the same, obviously everyone speaks and conveys their story differently but the reason they sound the same is because the tactics law enforcement use to get confessions are very clever and cunning and they essentially “walk” people into confessing and not always but many times they don’t quite realize they’ve confessed or given enough information to be prosecuted until it’s too late and sometimes not at all AND sometimes they’ve even convinced themselves that what they said is going to help their case and vindicate them

The best advice I heard is "if they had enough evidence to convict you, they wouldn't be interrogating you"

The problem isn't the cops. They are just people following their orders. The problem isn't their bosses, they are just people following their orders. The problem is the orders. The laws. There are too many laws, they are not understood by the people they are meant to protect. Their volume and complexity benefit only lawyers, politicians and special interests. Like she says, these days everyone is guilty of at least something - there are so many things to be guilty of now it's impossible not to be. And because of this we lose respect for the law even more and society becomes more lawless in aggregate. So do us all a favor. Vote for politicians who will reduce the size and power of government that creates all these laws. Vote for a deregulator. Vote for giving people the right to defend their communities and manage them more autonomously with less of the intrusive abusive powers above.

Thank you

4:15 "DO what ordered to do". "Ordered to do something, Then DO it." << 'Do'?? "Unconditional" - as "Trick" re: 'field sobriety test' - (as noted: "Never mandatory"). So, if One Knows this test is NOT Mandatory, WHY "Do" it? - thrown out later, BUT? "Tricks" should Never be a part of process. Tricks lends Thought One has power, then the people must fight against Unconstitutional Tyrants that *are to be Our servants.* *TRUTH spoken about 'processes'* should *Never be hidden* nor Denied.

Every American should be required to watch this

0:49 This is one of the scary things "there are laws saying you have to help the police", and then when you talk to them they could twist anything you say into something to put you in jail.

She's hot. Thought I'd throw that in there.

I think in Hawaii you are required to submit to field sobriety test or automatically loose your license for a year….. is this true?

Woman is in the right profession. She could also make a great teacher or a salesperson. Very elegant and logical speaker.
