16:43 TRYING TO BE FUNNY FAIL

[karthadastim]

disillusioned cops: if you have ever put someone in jail for a "crime" that did not involve theft or coercion (2 things you do all the time ironically) then you have put an innocent person in jail.

Just because you are paid to commit immoral acts that does not make it ok.

@nakohichi Yes, the Reid technique. The part where he agrees with the guy that the victim was totally hot and he understands why he would want her is classic Reid.

"We don't try to get people convicted unless we know they're guilty". Arrogant ass.

I recognise that they have a job to do, but it's hard to watch this cop gloating and hear how he entraps people and not hate the police.

While it's definitely true that you should never talk to a cop, it's not really fair to act like this guy's a pig and the devil for trying to get confessions. That's his job. It's not his job to determine innocence (That's the defense's job), it's his job to prove guilt. He's a cog in a machine, and if the cog isn't doing what it's supposed to do the whole machine gets fucked up.

@macpduff ummm do you have a strange compulsion to repeat yourself repeatedly repeatedly repeatedly with repetition..over and over again? I did watch part 1. I get the point of the series-- but I still hate the cop.

[MeredithOD]

@ThomasKrypton I think, much like this cop, you are underestimating people in general. A lot of people chosen to be jurors are intelligent and have at least a reasonable knowledge of the judicial system. I think the one who is naive is you, thinking that investigators and DA's can easily pull the wool over the eyes of the "stupid" jurors. Those are the lawyers who lose cases like a bad habit.

1. "People are inherently honest"

2. "People are stupid"

I wonder if there's a hidden message there...

[CelineCarey]

This guy just admitted how biased and bigoted cops can be. If that is not enough of a reason not to talk to them I don't know what is.

[Ken4Pyro]

@MrUltraworld That is a completely valid concern. The case of Tim Masters is a perfect example of this, where a delusional cop convinced two DA's and a paid shrink to help him convict a 15 year old boy for a murder he didn't commit. Never talk to a cop, never allow a search without a warrant.

ID yourself, and shut up.

"I'm not answering any questions, or making any statements without a lawyer present. I don't consent to any searches without a warrant."

Memorize that.
