2008 Duane - Why You Should Never Talk to the Police

a viral lecture by law professor James J. Duane, titled "Why You Should Never Talk to the Police". Duane argues that even innocent individuals should not speak with police, as their statements can be misinterpreted, used against them, or lead to self-incrimination through mistakes or unknowingly admitting to a crime, even without malicious intent from the police. His advice is to invoke the right to remain silent and to always get a lawyer before speaking to law enforcement.
