Police are trained in how to manipulate suspects into confessing. And most people have no clue how to deal with that. It's not so bad for the innocent. They can just be natural. But, for the guilty, it's much^N harder. It takes skill to convincingly feign innocence. As Ted Smith noted: "The moral of the story is, never talk to police other than to say you want a lawyer." That's the appropriate answer whether you're innocent or guilty. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
