AGAINST YOU, Everything you say will be used

Against You

...Everything you say, CAN and WILL be used against YOU.

Or, in the UK
...will be taken down and used against you.

This is where policemen ended, and police officers began.
This is the root of why police officers are feared, and soon will be paria.

We are filled with TV shows of the brave police officers hunting down the bad guys and protecting the good guys. People believe this lie... right up until they actually encounter real police officers.

People think that police officers are there to "protect and serve" the people. However, this is far from the truth. And far from the letter of law the police officers are forced to adhere to.

Police officers aren't given tools to detect crime, so they can never stop crime. But, they are supposed to arrest criminals, so they go around approaching anyone that looks shady and find something to bust them for.

The first thing a police officer will do if they think you are a possible suspect for their arrest quota is get your ID. Then they will go back to their car

and ask unto the great database in the sky.

Oh verily, great computer god,
Telleth me, if i may busteth this heathen.
Amen

But, this database is not a database of criminals.
The only criminals in it are those who have been incarcerated before and are out on probation.
Everyone else in the database is:

• A name on the list they got from a snitch. (through intimidation of someone who was your friend)
• People who have skipped bond.
• A list of people who have outstanding parking tickets
• A list of people who have outstanding fines.

There are very few known and wanted criminals in that database.
Almost all crime goes unsolved, except that they catch someone, and in exchange for a lighter sentance (plea deal) they disclose the crimes that they committed. The list of crimes solved by police through investigation are minuscule. (CSI is a completely fabricated story. It is not based on anything real. In fact, 50% of MURDERS aren't even investigated.)

So, when a police officer approaches you, they are trying to get you to confess your crimes so that they can bust you.

...everything you SAY, can and WILL be used against YOU...

Many lawyers and cops have said, "never talk to a police officer". As in, don't do it at all. Especially if you have "nothing to hide".

Remember that the police have almost no evidence on you accept for what you have said. If OJ Simpson had simply called the police just after finding (or killing) the bodies the police would have had nothing on him. The blood on his hands came from checking the status of the bodies. The knife could have been anybody's. And so, you will find it in your case to. The only rope that the police officer can use to hang you, is that which you give them.

The other half of the Miranda Rights statement is even worse.

...everything you say, can and will be used AGAINST YOU...

There is nothing about FOR you. Even if you tell the police officer all kinds of good stuff. The real story, absolute alibies, etc. the police officer does not have any obligation to tell that in your defense in court.

In fact, you can't make them tell the good stuff. In a court, even if you get the police officer on the witness stand, and you ask them to tell the court the good stuff, they can just sit and smile, and say nothing.

Of the police officers who have talked about this, most have a handful of stories they can say of people they have said a good word for. A handful out of decades of policing.

One thing to put into your brain is this:
The prosecution can withhold evidence that proves your innocence.
They can have rock solid evidence that proves you didn't do it, and they are under no obligation to share that with you or tell the court.
And this is legal. (meaning you have no right of recourse)

So, this line, taken to its LEGAL conclusion pits all men against the police officers. They are not here for you, they are AGAINST YOU.

And this is one of the reasons why we see a militarization of the police departments. It has become an US vs them situation. The police departments have already realized this, but the public still lives in a world of TV show cops.

Don't talk to the Police
