How Police Interrogation Works | HowStuffWorks
Ever since beating and deprivation of food were outlawed as an interrogation strategy, we've been searching for new ways to oppress people who are in the custody of law enforcement. Taking a law abiding citizen into custody isn't illegal; suspects need not be guilty of a crime to undergo interrogation. What are some modern interrogation techniques that can be used to break down a suspect, in order to get them to snap if they are guilty of a crime, or if they simply have relevant information that they may not be willing to share? I think of an interrogation as a vice, it's intended to squeeze information out of an informant.
On a related note, I recently watched a video in which a police officer tased Patrick Mumford. Mr. Mumford was being questioned by the police, who thought that he bore a resemblance to someone for whom there was a warrant to be served. In the video you can clearly see that the officer at no point asked Mr. Mumford his name, though they claimed they asked three times when confronted by a neighbor, and then increased that claim to four times.
How about people learning how to deal with a police encounter?
Correction: The officer did ask him "what's your name" ad .43 in the video.
The suspect also resisted, and continued to resist.
This is what I don't understand about such reactions, especially when someone has previously dealt with the law. (He states he just got back from seeing his probation officer).
When the suspect hears, "You have the right to remain silent..." why doesn't he? Who wants to be browbeaten and told over and over how guilty he is? Just say, "I want a lawyer," and the interrogation is over.
And yet. people confess to crimes that they haven't committed. Amazing

True. But keep in mind half the population has an IQ below 100.

Suspect should still say that, though. It *may* give them some leverage later if it can be shown that the interrogation did not stop.
They can... even before officially detained and read their rights... and they should, more often.The suspect can also say, "I'm exercising my right to remain silent" or simply say nothing.
