If he was head of the department for interrogating the people who ended up in Gitmo, he would be right. The violence and torture should be delivered with a flat face and a heartless demeanor. That makes it, apparently, professional and acceptable. Like the age-rating rules in the US: it's completely fine to genocide a thousand people, or murder someone gruesomly - as long as you don't see any blood, and the bad guy looks foreign.

What he says about confessing to crimes you haven’t done, is absolutely correct. I was called in for something a friend of mine supposedly did, which I knew for a fact he didn’t do, and ended up thinking I may had actually done something by the end. The interrogator was so nice, and understanding, I thought he was genuinely looking for the truth, and he then started manipulating what I told him. What they say about never talking without a lawyer? Absolutely correct.

Nah the point of that scene was to show how Batman's process of extracting information - through intimidation and violence - was useless against a man with no fear who enjoys pain.

it also shows the 'ticking bomb' scenario often used to justify torture is probably the situation where it's least effective. torture works best when it breaks down someone's hope and resolve over a long period. all the joker had to do was hold out until the bombs went off. of course, in the end he told batman where to find them (but not really) just too late for batman and the cops to rescue both of them, because it was all part of the plan.

Except it's held up in peer-reviewed studies? Just because most lay people can't tell when a person is lying or hiding something doesn't mean that the whole field is in fact bunk, it's quite the opposite. Edit: I'm not allowed to post replies, you can simply Google peer-reviewed research micro expressions and find plenty of sources.

There's nothing preventing an interrogation to be both an authentic representation of the event AND to be conducted by fictional entities (such as superheroes). I feel like the series Lucifer is a decent example. People are supernaturally compelled to "like" the titular devil and he can further focus his mojo on them to have them talk about what they "truly desire". Answering that question generally results in the target of the interrogation to just start answering all the other ones as well.

When a lawyer is present they are a legal witness, they know the system and lawyer/client confidentiality is a thing.

I'd love to see this guy analyse interrogations in some of the British cop dramas. "Midsomer Murders" with Tom Barnaby sitting on someone's sofa having a quiet chat over a cup of tea. "Line of Duty" with the barrage of tiny details and hard evidence on the projector and cop-vs-cop interrogations. "Shetland" and the difficulty of questioning people you have a personal connection with in a small community.

It sucks, having been through it and the pressure he talks about is real. They try to get you to contradict yourself on small things and then use it against you. They got me to write a letter to the spouse in the car crash that died saying they'd give it to her. They never did and my lawyer that I attained later informed me they hoped I'd confess to some wrong doing in it and they'd have used it against me.

@alexman378 2 жыл бұрын

You don’t have to commit a crime to get interrogated. Those people are good, you’ll walk in innocent and will get out thinking you may have actually done something, through the information you give up. In case it happens, always remember, no matter how nice they look, they don’t have your best interest at heart, nor do they care for truth and justice. Never talk without a lawyer if you find yourself in such a situation

Having conducted internal reviews with multiple corporations, I can say that this guy must have played a role in training the company that trained me. He says ,verbatim , things I was taught not all that long ago. I am very thankful he is out there speaking on how some of the negatives on past interrogations have started to change. A lot of modern media still portrays outdated methods and that discredits the changes made. It also helps cause distrust with police and other investigators.

The part with Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the idea that making a person uncomfortable primes them for interrogation. What it misses is how many people would just be distracted, not necessarily uncomfortable. The uneven chair or the sticky table are easy sources of distraction and fidgeting, and an inattentive interviewee seems counterproductive. If I walked into a police interrogation and it looked like a shitshow that didn't have itself together, I probably wouldn't take it or them seriously, lawyer up, and walk out.
