Police Gimmicks and Ploys<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

When a detective asks a person to voluntarily come by the\nstation to answer a few questions regarding a criminal case, they actually have\na hidden agenda that is not made evident to the person being asked to come in.\nFor one, law enforcement officials are not legally obligated to tell you that\nyou are a suspect in a criminal investigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, one of the oldest tricks in the book is to address you initially as a potential witness, and act very polite and friendly to lower your guard and make you feel comfortable giving up wanted information. Another part of this ploy is that if you come into the station voluntarily, you are not in custody. This means law enforcement does not have to read you your Miranda Rights, which remind you of your right to remain silent and your right to a lawyer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the gimmicks do not stop there. People often feel like they can handle a police interrogation, and feel confident that they have no valid evidence against them. But this is one of the biggest mistakes you can make as a possible suspect in a criminal investigation. This is because police can make up anything they want to get a person to say things that didn\u2019t really happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is common for detectives to tell suspects that they have\nvideo surveillance of them committing the crime, or that they found their DNA\nall over the scene of the crime. They will say anything they have to in order\nto get a suspect to admit or give up information. It is also common for\nsuspects to give false confession after hours of endless interrogation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always Hire a Criminal Defense Attorney<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

If you are ever asked to voluntarily come into a police\nstation for questioning, or provide a statement regarding a criminal matter,\nremain silent. And then contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer\nimmediately. They can evaluate your situation and determine if it\u2019s best for\nyou to give a statement or remain silent. They will protect your rights and\npreserve your freedom to their best ability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
