One of the great advantages of Discourse is the ‘mute thread’ option.
Consider that the textbook example of “depraved indifference for human life” as a condition for murder is shooting a gun into a crowd - you don’t necessarily intend for any individual to be killed, but your actions show you don’t much care if they do.
Pretty much my thoughts; he writes like someone with a brain injury
Is there a requirement to talk cops WITH counsel? If you have counsel with you???
Need answer fast and don’t trust the public defender?
As I understand it (and I repeat, IANAL), you have the right to consult your lawyer before talking to investigators. I don’t think that means that if your lawyer happens to be in the room with you when the cops come calling, you are obligated to talk to them right away.
In fact, AFAIK, you can just go on refusing to talk to investigators forever. But that doesn’t mean that they won’t continue pursuing their investigation. They can investigate you, arrest you, charge you, try you, convict you and jail you even if you never say a word.
That being the case, it would be best in almost all scenarios to keep one’s mouth shut.
Proceed as follow:
-
accept that you may have to spend time to in jail while the process plays out. ACCEPTANCE IS KEY. There will be the temptation to talk your way out of it because you want to go home. Jail is awful.
-
Wait to see what actual evidecne they have against you.
-
Have counsel (a lawyer.)
-
If you intend to commit crimes in the future, try to do it alone. Don’t have collaborators. That’s key to success as a criminal.
For someone that’s offering legal advice, you’re strangely in need of legal advice.
It’s almost as if you’re more full of shit than law.
Oooh! Ask him about lesser included offenses in re mopery.
Mopery: minor offenses…
Learned a new word today.
This is the least drug-addled thing you have said so far. Yes, never have/create/leave a witness.
But is Mopery a LIO of Dopery, or vice-versa?
You are required to state your name and perhaps to produce ID and to state what you are doing AT THE MOMENT, AT PRESENT. DO NOT TALK ABOUT YOUR PAST, DO NOT STATE WHAT YOU DID 5 MINUTES EARLIER. DO NOT TALK ABOUT WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO OR ANYTHING ABOUT THE FUTURE.
YOU ONLY NEED TO STATE WHAT YOU ARE DOING AT PRESENT.
“OFFICER, I AM HERE AT THE CAPITOL TO COMMEMORATE OUR PAST GREAT PRESIDENTS!”
Don’t forget to talk to him in all capitals.
And at all costs; Make sure you do not enter Joinder with the State.
Obviously, the OP doesn’t understand it either. A narc is either a police officer investigating drug crimes or is a police informant. It’s not a general term for any police officer.
My guess is that the OP learned everything he knows about the criminal lifestyle from watching TV shows and movies.
The OP managed to get one thing right. It is a bad idea to talk to the police without a lawyer when you’re the subject of a serious investigation. A lot of people do this in the foolish belief they can talk themselves out of the troubles. This foolish belief helps the police solve crimes.
I do not support the rioters. So I hope they do the foolish thing and talk to the police when they are interrogated and get convicted as a result.
Speaking of foolish decisions, I don’t know why the OP thought it was a good idea to use racist language in the thread title.
Short for “narcotics enforcement officer”.
Informers are narcs but are not “narcotics enforcement officers”.
Sure, yes, but I believe that is what a police narc is.
Yeah, cops hate small talk.
I believe the crossover occurred because some narcotics police worked undercover and portrayed themselves as civilian dealers or buyers. After the transaction was made, they revealed they were police officers. This sense of being a narc then transferred over to an actual civilian who worked with the police.
But in either sense, the term implies a degree of pretense. If a police officer (or FBI agent) shows you their badge and starts asking you questions, they’re not being a narc. Even less so if they arrest you. You’re aware that they’re the police.
