    This isn’t anything new, it’s how cops are trained…

    Act 110% confident no matter what because sometimes people will start talking. Either admitting guilt or disclosing information they think works in their defense, only to be twisted as more cause.

    Nothing you ever say to a cop will ever change the first thought that popped into their head. They’re not trained to use critical thinking or logic, they’re trained to do what they’re told and that anything less than complete obedience justifies violence.

      Police don’t need an excuse to suspect you, they ALREADY suspect you.

      What they need is something that doesn’t work right to blame their mistakes on.

      Flock fills that need. It used to be the drug dogs they could blame their incompetency’s on, Flock is better.

      They tell everyone and some just choice to ignore it

      “Anything you say can and WILL be used against you in a court of law”

      At no point do they tell you what you say will be entered in as evidence to help in your defense. So do what I do, STFU.

        They definitely don’t start off reading people their Miranda rights, though. By that point, many will have answered some of their many probing questions

          And they will be harder to enter into evidence. Yeah they can use “Spontaneous Utterance” but thats not likely going to hold up if it was a direct question.

          What I see a lot of is when people start free talking police will stop them and read the miranda warning to make it easier for the DA to use it against them.
