@Alex Briggs its all good, no apologies necessary. We all get that way from time to time.<br>Anyway, thanks for the consideration.

Anyway, thanks for the consideration.

@Jacob Hargiss You're a good guy, I was needlessly vile.<br>Apologies my friend, I was having a bad day

@Jacob Hargiss You're a good guy, I was needlessly vile.
Apologies my friend, I was having a bad day

@Jacob Hargiss You're welcome, bro! <br>🤜🤛

@Jacob Hargiss I understand, but still, that doesn't give people the right to cyberbully. And don't worry too much about your mistakes. Even if you make them again and again, one day little by little you'll learn with them and be able to be more aware of what you should and shouldn't do/say. I wish you the best of luck 😊

@Fabiana Moura thank you for your kind words though. Its rare to see on the internet.

@Fabiana Moura im not really putting myself down, Im just being honest. I make dumb mistakes and act like an idiot some times. Sometimes its because I dont pay enough attention to what Im doing, other times its because I choose to do things that I am in no condition to do (such as writting a reply when Im not all there). I try to be honest with myself and others and when I make mistakes that are easily avoidable I try to hold myself accountable so I have an opportunity to learn.

And its not the spelling mistake that makes me know I was being an idiot, but that I was arrogant enough not to look over my work before submitting it. I know mistakes happen, but only a fool trusts themselves enough not to double check, and thats exactly what I did.

@maju Yup, just another cyberbully that one

@Jacob Hargiss Nah man, don't put yourself down like that. If having issues with the English language bothers you, you can simply study and get better at it. The fact that a person isn't an expert on any particular subject doesn't make them an idiot at all 🙂

@Jacob Hargiss <br>You're not an idiot bud your responses confirm that, you took the guy's correcting you like a prick with class.

@Jacob Hargiss
You're not an idiot bud your responses confirm that, you took the guy's correcting you like a prick with class.

@Fabiana Moura nah, its alright. Sometimes I am indeed an idiot. This is just one of those times.

@Fabiana Moura ikr that was unnecessary he seems like a cool guy...

@Jacob Hargiss that explains a lot actually

@JD exactley, I get the incorrect spelling confused with the correct spelling. Then I get those 2 confused with the homophpne and its incorrect spelling.

Long story short, me and the written english language have been long term adversaries. But a great deal of that has to do with the fact that I am more often than not completely and utterly wasted when I write these replies (as is the case in this instance).

@Jacob Hargiss wheather isnt even a word, its either weather or whether

@Alex Briggs Aww there was no need to call him an idiot. He seems so nice ☹

@Alex Briggs thanks, I always get the 2 mixed up.

@Goin GOLD to point out that it isnt a contradiction.

@Jacob Hargiss lol why did you feel the need to explain that??

You have the right to choose wheather or not you answer. That doesnt mean they wont ask you any questions.

Reminds me of my younger days when I’m getting into trouble by my parents- you want me to shut up or talk 🤣🤷🏽♀😂

A movie should be made about his life with Christian Bale as him :P


I couldn't stop laughing. You gotta admit he's likable.


I liked the way he blew his nose when he was being read his rights. And how politely he put his tissue in the bin.

Jeff is a good guy. I hope he’s OK.

Reminds me of will Ferrell puking in the waste basket in the federal reserve.


Slap head chozzer ain't that clever is he


Once a person says, "I want a lawyer", that should be the end of the interview. I live in a country which not only "reads" people their rights but also respects those rights, regardless of what crime someone's been arrested for.

It depends on the state you live in. This would not be tolerated in most states in the U.S.

It doesn’t mean that he can’t still ask questions

@TransRoofKorean We were talking about nuts n' shit in this comment string. You've ruined it... Goblin...

Once you've said you want the lawyer, it's not like his rights are being violated by not having a lawyer magically appear five seconds later -- it's just his statements stop being admissible until the lawyer shows up.

@I was never given a name. I waited 1 week for this.

@Average Alien Mr alien what is saw con?

@boule de glace You're the kinda guy to go to saw con

Yeah! Like, what's the magic number of times he needs to say he wants a lawyer before they get him one?


If paying taxes means Jeff can get himself a Coke, it's not a bad deal.

@Km Fox The cop having to ask what he uses Methadone for drove me fucking insane. Have they never dealt with addicts before? Fucking christ almighty.

@Michael I can imagine. Jeff: "Stay away from coke, do Coca-Cola instead."

@Dev04   Coca-cola should hire Jeff for ads.

10:11 Detective: "Tastes good? (referring to Coke)."
Jeff: "Yeah, tastes better during an interrogation."

@Dino boi looking for them nuggies yup description and pinned comment

@Fafa it’s in the description if I’m correct.

@Dino boi looking for them nuggies what is it called???

Yea but the interrigators got a lot more tax money than a coke

Especially if our taxes paid for the cameras that recorded the glorious behavior of this great, great man.

@Km Fox If they refuse to provide you a lawyer when you've asked for it several times, that's how you know they've screwed up.

@St. Vodou Not necessarily. Yes, some people will think that, but the rest of us will see how foolish the cops would be acting.

@Dino boi looking for them nuggies Good to know. People can change.

@Km Fox well he has a YouTube channel now so he must be doing slightly better

😂😂😂😂 he wd be like oooh that tastes good

One of the better comments on the Internet right here

@Km Fox Yes, and when that clip is incorporated into some cop show or movie, he’ll be made to look like he admitted guilt because he exercised his civil rights and  asked for the lawyer he’s entitled to

Man you gotta love this guy. I hope and pray he gets clean and has a successful life. He actually sounds like just a good old boy on heroin. The cops actually appear stupid in the video. They also show how dishonest they are in pushing for a confession from someone who has repeatedly asked for a lawyer which they didn't provide but rather kept reading his miranda rights and got mad when he chose to be silent. This was better than a movie.


Finding it difficult to dislike this guy.

@Wouter Kulche This observation just seems extremely obvious to me, of course you would look at someone differently based on what you know they've done, sorry I should have used /s.

@Ben Fennell
You seemed to misunderstand me.

If I show you an black and white picture of a man and tell you he is a nazi than you will probably find his eyes devilish, if i instead told you he was a resistance member who saved many people from the nazis you would probably say that he has heroic angelic features.

This phenomenon is very important for people to know because it helps them to judge people better (or not to judge) at all.

I'm trying to understand what you mean with your response. You don't understand what I mean? You admit it but don't like this fact?

@Wouter Kulche Are you aware that those circumstances would make jesus christ himself look pretty sus?

"Well yeah he seems nice but like, if he murdered a child that would be lame"
Really?d'ya think?

he had every guy hoping for him to drop the soap

Perhaps because of the way he is framed in this youtube video. If you are introduced to the same person after it seems obvious he murdered a child while breaking in your feelings might be different.

@The Lea I always find it ironic how most people tend to give the benefit of the doubt towards addicts as to the type of people they were/are/can be if they weren't addicts that are currently using. I don't know if it's due to being just a common sentiment, or if it's because such low-lifes when they're using, that it's just assumed that they can't be any worse, or other reasons.
I say this from personal experience that while it's true that most people who are actively on a run, they're SO beyond what's acceptable behavior, then when they do get clean they're MUCH better people than they are while they're using, but i know a lot of addicts, both recovering, long term recovered, or actively using that were assholes before they started, and went back to being one after. I also think there comes a point that no matter how good of a person someone may have been before, they've been using and acting like addicts for so long, that they're just not that person anyone and never will be, regardless of getting clean.

Im not directing this towards the commenter specifically, it just happens to be that 1 out of countless that make the same assertion.
I will point out however that i think (and believe many others who have firsthand experience with it), that often times the particular drug that someone gets addicted to can suggest the type of personality they are. This is a very general statement, but people who get addicted to heroine or other opioids are different people than those who have cocaine issues. It's also quite common that MANY opioid addicts tend to not drink. Most of the opioid addicts i know, including myself, don't drink at all. However drinking tends to turn into an issue after giving up heroine or opioids (fortunately, after 12-13 years, i still probably consume a bottle of wine every 2 years, if that).
I believe that MANY of those people either use, or started using, as self-medicating. I think that someone can have substance abuse issues that are mostly self-medication, and that they don't really match with the current definition of "addict." These are the people who can have ravenous addictions for years, but at some point make an active attempt to get clean, and are able too more successfully.
I consumed copious amounts opioids for several years. When i finally said i had enough, i went to a detox, then upon getting out i sought out treatment. I didn't go into rehab, i went on Suboxone and therapy. That was it, that was way over q decade ago. While i won't say that i never took anything recreationally in that time, i will say that my addiction was never the problem that it had been. The way it went for me is FAR from how it normally goes. I know people who've been in detox over 100 times, and been to in-patient rehab dozens of times and still are using. The fact that it took only once for me leads me to believe that while from the outside, and to myself, i was an addict in the clinical sense, in reality it was something else

you aren't supposed to dislike him, he's the protagonist of earth

The analysis of why we like the antihero is missing the obvious trait that they don't bow down to societal pressure; they do what the fuck they want.

@craig Mills you're making this assumption based on what?

@Catalina Winemixer That's great. Always like to hear something like that.

@Eman Egnarts he's sober now. #wedorecover

You can tell from across the atlantic that this guy isn't proud of anything in his life. He has given up, he has accepted his belief that he's beyond help and just wants to be left alone until he dies from his habits. He's most likely a lovely dude to be around when he's not out of heroin and needs to find ways to get more, and he's fully aware that he's a failure.

This guy doesn't want to be this way, he wants to be normal but knows/believes he can't, so what's the point of even trying?

I'd help this guy any day of the week.

“What about that butter fingers you promised me?”
Only a legend can be concerned about that while in jail

Jason, or he knew he was getting out... a little psychological mindtrick.


D: “What time did you get to Aaron’s house?”
Jeff: “I know anything I say would be used against me.”
A very smart man .

@Xyjff when did I say I was impressed? I was simply correcting someone probably y they deleted the comment

A smart man wouldve said no comment from the get go

@Davey :D your head is paining you. Werey

funny cause the police tell you "everything you say can and will br used against you" but some people talk anyways.

Jeff is street smart. Everybody here shitting on him ain't never dealt with law or addiction or they wouldn't be like "smart people don't do this"

@Connie Harrison You can judge him on his decisions but you don't know his circumstance.. The intelligence that is displayed here is the accurate judgement of social situations and psychological fortitude, you can be a good guy all your life and not be "smart" like Jeff.

If he were smart, he would say absolutely nothing. Don't talk to cops.

@Connie Harrison So you need to be a criminal to know your rights?

@Connie Harrison No. It's a debilitating cycle. Often the most they can hope for is to learn how to survive in it. Escape is a pipe dream.


Soooo, it's legal to badger a prisoner for 12 hours, that has repeatedly stated "nothing to say" without legal representation, during a interrogation?<br>Don't talk to cops.

Soooo, it's legal to badger a prisoner for 12 hours, that has repeatedly stated "nothing to say" without legal representation, during a interrogation?
Don't talk to cops.

This police are not the enemy here, jeff, i guess has been comitting crime to fund his habit for years, like i did. Heroin habit needs money and people like me cause mayhem for the police, its not personal, i found the police in the uk to be more than fair

Ya havent heard enough stories or seen alot of cases. Also, whats acceptable for them to do during an integration varies from state to state, hell even county to county.

Yeah, and pretend to be "good guys" that brought him a coke after sitting there 5 hr... or offer a butterfinger for talking.  "Well give you a butter finger if you convict yourself"  WHAT

24 hours for most crimes, 36 to 96 for more serious crimes.  Time is on the suspect's side, not the police's side, which is why they do everything they can to lock it down while they have the narrow window.  If they really had all the time in the world like they want to make it seem, they wouldn't be hanging on the bell wanting to talk day and night with the suspect.


“Do you understand your rights Jeff?”<br>Jeff: 🗿

Like how Jeff just drinking their coke and beg to go back to the cell jajajajajajajajajaja


You can tell he's talked at other points in his life and they used it against him. That's why you don't talk to the police without a lawyer. Just tell them you want a lawyer and then remain silent. The Supreme Court of the United States has ruled that the police can lie to you anytime they want to. And they do lie. Ever been pulled over for a traffic stop and the cop starts saying things like, "Where you comin' from?" or "Where you goin'?" or "What are you up to?" They want to start a conversation with you so you will slip up and tell them something. But the law is very strict on what the cops can and can't do so stand up for your rights. If you don't use them you lose them. This poor guy is in heroin withdrawl but he still stands up for his rights. I've been around people kicking heroin and he is about to go into terrible pain and agony and he knows it. But he still stands up for his rights.

Cenk Zappa ~You cannot get addicted trying heroin a single time. That’s just the stupidest thing ever. It’s true you don’t need to do it daily to become addicted; it’s a called a chippie habit. If you do it say, every two weeks, you will eventually need it every two weeks. I’d wager that most of the deaths your talking about were from heroin laced will fentanyl. Fentanyl is the real culprit. It’s a cheap way to boost the strength, but it’s strong as fuck and people don’t realize just how strong.

famouslastwords 2019 Don’t listen to that cruel attempt for a joke. Stay strong my brother 🙏🙏

Oliver Von arx Constitutionally it should be inadmissible but our government finds ways to admit should be inadmissible sh*t all the time!!! Smh!

They cant lie "anytime they want to". It has to come from reasonable suspicion, or in the course of an interrogation.

@Falling Petunias I was pulled over for going 70 when I was going 15 under that. Went to court and the cop never showed up - he was just trying to bully someone else into a ticket. What am I gonna do in the moment, tell him I wasn't going 70? It's stupid to argue, but cops are there to screw you over a lot of the time. Not to say they don't do good work.

@aaronwallerj  Bc once your body needs it you're screwed.  Your body can get physically dependent on heroin after just one dose.  If you're not already dependent on it, you will be soon.  If you want a buzz on your day off take some kratom or something.  Seriously, you can use it daily without serious problems.  It's not great for you but it's infinitely better than heroin.  42 kids I went to high school with have died of OD's since I graduated.  Nearly all of them were "part time users".  All of them were experienced with other drugs and they all thought they had it under control.  One of them told me "I just need to get this out of my system, I won't be doing this when I'm older."  He died a year later.  Another one told me "gotta try everything once before you die".  He died a few weeks later.  Nearly all of them came from good families.  Nearly all of them could have gone to rehab.  All of them lived in one of the nicest towns in the US with all the available resources necessary to help them beat addiction.  But not one of them did.  Don't let it get that far.  If you want a little buzz take kratom or literally any other drug besides heroin or you will end up an addict.

@aaronwallerj I can't do that. If i did that I'd be back in my personal hell of heroin addiction by Monday. I just can't stop once i start.

@iostboy Why? Because I pointed out that cops lie?

@Steve Cascio He wasn't involved in a felony crime. They let him go the next morning.

Nothing wrong with a bit of heroin every now and then.. it's the best buzz of everything out there.. Infact, I'm gonna go get some now soon as dealer gets back to me.. it's my day off, why not?

Lucky, he gets himself out of it so he can get back to his sweet sweet heroin... ;)

Or maybe don’t involve yourself in felony crimes and you won’t have to be questioned by the police!

Well the second sentence in Miranda rights to anyone with a brain says anything you tell them not just can but WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU! There’s a reason it’s worded like that

Okay, but I've only been pulled over when going 10+ mph over the speed limit. Sometimes we should admit when we fuck up.

I've taught my kids to never talk to police without a lawyer


This Ladies & Gentlemen is how, no matter your innocence or guilt, you handle a Police Interview/Interrogation.

@Leopard Boas Lol, because the world is totally binary. By that logic, if I choose not to talk to police, does that automatically mean that I've got something to hide?

Leopard Boas even if you're innocent you shouldn't talk to police. They will twist their questions and have you incriminate yourself unknowingly and when you try to change your answer during a trial and say you were confused at the question, they will bring up the interview and say, "well you never said you were confused in the interview, so you're lying." This has been done many times over.

Absolutely never talk to police. You’re a name on a paper, and the second you walk into that prison, they’ll never give a thought to your life again. They can have a lazy day, and they can have an ulterior motive, like covering for another buddy cop, and they can manipulate you into doing whatever they want. Demand a lawyer. End of conversation.

Nope. He should only have said "I want a lawyer". That's it.

@/X/EN It's literally what any lawyer worth their weight in dirt would tell you.

@/X/EN You should never talk to the police. They aren't your friend.

They never want you to just come in and talk. You could be telling your story then it's too late before you realize they're pinning this on you no matter what

@savvy Wilson He asked for a lawyer multiple times.


How about that butterfinger you promised


Cop: why won’t you talk to us? We’ve got evidence against you.
Jeff: what you got?
Cop: not telling.

@heres johnny police don't have to be truthful when obtaining evidence relative to a case, they use lies an disinformation all the time if they think it'll help the case. For example: "we can prosecute you for obstructing an officer in his line of investigation" when you won't give them any personal details or the code to unlock your phone is one I've had thrown at me, they can't prosecute on those grounds.

@Christian Carrillo police are not allowed to do this in UK however.

@Leo Wunderlich Cops are legally allowed to lie to you and say they have evidence linking you to a crime in hopes you confess, they call it a "ruse."

@man iPreferChicken Yeah, they're usually gunning for a confession because they don't have enough evidence to convict on that, alone.  Jeff seems to know this.

@man iPreferChicken yeah but what would that be called?

it's an interrogation technique where they make it seem as if they evidence, in most cases a lot of it, in the hopes that you'll confess for the crime.


He asked for a lawyer, this conversation shouldnt be taking place.

@Kelsey when this happens and it did already it’s not admissible in court

He can ask for a lawyer and they can still interrogate him until one shows up he just doesn’t have to respond. It’s a stupid rule but America is stupid so lol

@Kutsuro God bless!  Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior and the Son of God and died on a cross for our sins! Believe God is our Father and Creator and raised His Son Jesus from the dead!  Confess and repent of your sins and trust in God!  Live for Jesus as He died for you!! (Don’t swear or take God’s name in vain!) 🥰🤍

Ideally but unfortunately not always reality

@Jon Evans i really don’t see how withdrawals in a cell or jail is good

@bernier alexandre you either didn’t mean to respond to me or misunderstood what I wrote. I have been in Jeff’s shoes to the extent of suffering from withdrawal, several times. If given the choice between an interrogation room and a cell, there’s no debate which I’m taking and I believe Jeff felt the same. It’s hard to suffer those symptoms at a damn rehab facility

He was doing just enough to keep the coke flowing 🤣

@Jon Evans you probably couldn’t even do what you are proposing, a heroin withdrawal in a holding cell has to be the worst thing on earth

@Brooklynyte a small price to pay for

a coke

An explanatory subtitle stated that he had offered to talk for a Coke and a Butterfinger.

Cop said "You asked to speak to me, i didn't call you here." that's when he said he only came for the coke

he said he's just doing it for the coke lol

Better to stay in there if you’re Jeff. Unless he knows for a fact he can score dope in lockup he’s better off starting withdrawal in that room . Get to drink some coke and candy, go from there.

@Ricicici 33 Nah, this is ok the way it is.

The first reply by "constantnipples" deserves more likes than the second, by "Kutsuro"

Yeah, so anything after that period is basically useless info, but let's face it, Jeff pulled through and didn't tell em shit!


Jeff good luck get off the mud. Stay smart.

@Lua no by science you can die from benzo withdrawal. By science you can't die from heroin withdrawal. Maybe a stroke like you said but not the withdrawal itself.

Sadly, a very small % of heroin users ever get clean. After a decade, no chance.

Same here. My best wishes go out to Jeff with regards to how things ended up. Addiction, especially when addicted to down, is a rough ride and getting clean is sooo worth it.

@cracker gaming you shouldn’t be calling an addict a “badass” it’s not cool in any way.

@cracker gaming you shouldn’t be calling an addict a “badass” it’s not cool in any way.

@emma doesn’t armed robbery tell you anything?

@emma doesn’t armed robbery tell you anything?

@Kim Hoge By that same logic you can't die from benzo withdrawals, you die from the seizures they cause. Pretty sure "withdrawal" is never the official cause of death; it's dehydration, organ failure, or whatever specific thing killed them.

So yes, generally speaking of course you can die from heroin withdrawal. It's MUCH less likely than dying from benzo or alcohol w/d, but it is possible - especially if you have other health conditions. There have been several cases of heroin addicts dying in jail from withdrawals that I've read about.

@Tony Momom ''if the crimes were more serious and against you, would you be able to forgive him? probably not.'' lol, you can stop projecting your moral condescension on everyone else at any time

@Angela Jacobsen dying from dehydration is not dying from withdrawal.

@Angela Jacobsen dying from dehydration is not dying from withdrawal.

@Kim Hoge You can die from dehydration though, from all the puking and diarrhea. Some also go through a significant cardiac event and others may go through shock. Many people never seek medical attention due to fear of being arrested for illicit drug use and many more resort back to taking heroin to overcome the pain of it and end up overdosing. There are definitely real risks from withdrawal.

I'm gonna set a more realistic hope - I really hope he's getting by day-to-day like the rest of us.

@Adora your math is wrong.  Medical grade IV medications are packaged as X-mg per ML.  So like i said in my comment, thats a gram for 20-25$.  each ML contains 50mg and the vial contains 20ml of solution.  Remember, milligram (mg) is a different measurement than milliliter (ml).

@Mr Liquid Devil judging by his youtube channel he’s doing pretty well

@Mr Liquid Devil judging by his youtube channel he’s doing pretty well

@bp968 you just said it was $25 per 50mg, which is really expensive. Probably a lot cheaper because oral morphine on the black market is cheaper. I know you were talking IV vials but 50mg is not going to get a heroin addict high or even stop their withdrawal for a while.

@Tony Momom have you j walked before? Have you sped over the limit? Wam bam you’re a criminal son. We should judge you with the same level of callousness you want to judge “criminals.”

Relapse is the ONLY way to od from heroin withdraw... Someone relapses because the symptoms of their withdrawal are too much to deal with. But it’s usually someone who’s been clean for long enough to lose their tolerance that relapses and tries to shoot the same size shot they use to do in active addiction that od.

Not everyone can be saved but some can. That's hope.

@Kim Hoge I think it’s extremely rare to die from opioid withdrawal ,however it can lead to death.A young man from my old neighborhood ended up in jail on theft charges,the copper looked in his cell and the young man was convulsing then went unresponsive,so he was hit twice with narcan (thinking he overdosed).only he was in severe heroin withdrawals and his heart gave out.

On his YouTube channel he posted a video about suboxone so hopefully he’s doing well. I know some people say it’s just trading one addiction for another, but it saved my life & many others. Not having to stick myself with a needle is a huge plus too. To some addicts, the needle becomes an addiction on its own.

@Turbo Cateye He is definitely still on drugs. It is not 100% if you go through opiate withdrawal you will die. Where did that come from?

@emma while addiction hasn't been an issue in my day to day life for 12-13 years, but still remembers it and knows people who still are, i feel that it needs to be said that the idea of someone being a bad person or low life and/or being an addict are not mutually exclusive. There are many people that were world class a-holes before they were addicts, and many who remain them long after recovery.
Beyond that, when people are living as addicts, many of them really are terrible, and do terrible things. The question as to "why" they're doing really only matters to them. If your house is robbed or you get mugged at knife point (or dirty needle point, which tends to happen to people working in liquor or convenience stores), the life story of the person robbing you really matters very little.
If someone was a decent person before they became addicts, but have spent the last 15 years doing the shitty things that addicts do; are they still decent people who are suffering from addiction? Maybe that's a question best left to philosophers, but there HAS to come a point when what you do is all that matters, and what resides in your heart really only matters to your mother and maybe Jesus if you believe in it.

@Tony Momom what crime did he commit? You don't know his life? Besides some laws are ridiculous and innocent people go to jail all the time. Stop being so damn judgemental. Who cares if someone is a "criminal". In one state someone can go to jail for pot and be a criminal while in another state it's not criminal. Being a "criminal" doesn't necessarily make you a bad person. Our justice system is whack.

Pretty sure he is. He's got a channel called Syringe Music and just bought a house from what I understand. He's a real decent guy it seems.

@Kim Hoge actually recent studies have found you can die from heroin withdrawal. It causes serious heart problems. Due to the stress, adrenaline and more. It rare but it's been basically proven possible.

@cracker gaming Hey you never know! You would’ve probably said the same thing about me a year ago but here I am alive, well and sober and amazing things are happening in my life that I never thought would be possible.

@Frizzurd a drug addiction is not a moral issue

@Frizzurd a drug addiction is not a moral issue

@AvgDude even career addicts don't do 2k worth of dope a day. People with severe heroin addictions have described purchasing 10 to 15 bags of the drug per day. the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reported the average price of heroin in the U.S. was $152 per gram (which is usually divided into 20 bags). So ballpark around 500 a week

You can die from your body shutting down and severe dehydration CAUSED by opiate withdrawal. You can die from cold turkey withdrawal, hence the methadone usage.
Side note, the guy going thru "multiple ones" should totally be the credited; clearly cleaned system to have multiple go's (unless a helper position, but it reads as you've gone thru em).
Dude has 10+ years of use and you think you can just stop, be sick a few days and be fine? Study the change of body and brain due to chemical usage, maybe?
Safe wishes and just dont do it (or the rx route)

@Turbo Cateye you think stealing to fund his habit means that he's doing enough to die from overdose? Farrrrr from it. You'll get dope sick as fuck, but heroin withdraw itsself will not kill you.

@Kim Hoge that depends entirely on how much you're using and how much you've fucked up your body. It is 100% to die from heroin withdrawal or any other opiate withdrawal. Dehydration, elevated blood sodium levels, heart failure. The way these cops and alot of "health care professionals" treat people, especially addicts, means they could've left him in the cell and he could've died. Considering he's probably stealing to fund his habit means he could be doing enough to have those complications if left alone without supervision or help but I don't think he's dead or even on drugs today. You can die from alot of stupid shit and alot of shit that shouldn't be deadly tho

I got a better Idea.  Why don't they stop with the war on drugs bull shit and put a stop to 99% of the problem.  allow them to just buy pharmaceutical grade morphine or hydromorphone (morphine is 1/2 as potent as heroin and hydromorphone is 1.5-2 times as potent as heroin, roughly).  At the pharmacy level morphine is roughly 20-25$ per 50mg/20ml vial.  So each vial contains 1 gram of IV morphine in solution for 20-25$ without insurance.  I'm not up on black market prices but I strongly suspect it isn't anywhere near 20$ a gram (or 40$ a gram if you figure they need to buy twice as much morphine as they would heroin).  Hydromorphone is less common so harder to price but I suspect it would be similar.  If the addict can maintain his addiction with a Mcdonalds income then there is no need for him to make failed robbery attempts, and it saves the rest of us the cost of putting him in jail.

And if they can buy it from legit sources then suddenly the dealers and smugglers lose all of that income and go out of business (or more likely kill each other and thin out the competition as they switch to alternative business models).

This has the added benefit of not constantly making life harder and harder on chronic pain patients who constantly have to deal with proving that really, no really, they are not addicts multiple times a year (they actually have to take a pee test to make sure they have the drug in their system.  how upside down is that?!).

Yup, first 30 seconds and I was sick of the cop.

It was such a Borderlands type of intro. LOL

I actually laughed out loud at that part of the video! 😂


Anti hero’s are always the best hero’s that’s a fact.


We value Anti-heros because they reveal the absurdity of life around us.  Jeff clearly knows his rights, but the process is held up because he refuses to say so.  Contrast this with videos of naive, innocent, well-meaning getting sucked into charges for crimes they didn't commit.  The absurdity is always there... the Jeff's of the world help us see it.

Anti-Hero = Underdog <br>Am I the only JEFF Out Here?

Anti-Hero = Underdog
Am I the only JEFF Out Here?

I think we like anti-heros because despite the awful things they do we can relate to them on multiple actions. We are them, we just didn't make the same choices.

Those who add absurdity, are adding more absurdity, not solving it 😳

@J D I’m a lawyer, too.

Just kidding, I’m not. Just showing you how easy it is to type.

@Cameron Vadnais its garbage and baseless philosophy

@Siddharth Dash The witness box?! LOL. So pay for a lawyer and go through the system and hope things go your way at trial? Just to say the exact thing you could have said to police months before without a criminal record? Dumb. Innocent people should act differently than guilty people.

@J D he could have given that explanation in  the witness box

@niemand262 Above I told you about a case where I know someone was charged and convicted of a crime (trespassing) because he didn't give a simple explanation (he had consent). Most rules have exceptions.

@P Pumpkin Dude I'm a lawyer. I am well aware of the law and how police use it.

Someone should have given that advice to General Michael Flynn.  He would not have been convicted of anything.

@Richard Harris thanks for saying this 👍

@J D what you say to a detective CANNOT be used to exonerate you.  Let that sink in... you tell the 100% truth, it matches sufficiently to the incorrect narrative they believe is true, and into jail you go.  Don't take my word for it, I'm just repeating the advice of the US Supreme Court Justice and chief prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials Justice Jackson.

@J D Police can trick you into saying something true, but that sounds incriminating. Like implying someone was shot without saying so explicitly, then if you say "I didn't shoot anyone" they can take that into court like "the client seemed to have prior knowledge". Or a cop misremembering that they mentioned to you prior some fact, you bring up that fact in later questioning, and they use that statement as evidence of prior knowledge. Or some part of your truthful statement could be contradicted by a credible witness with a false statement that the witness believes to be true. Or your best memory and explanation could be false in some way that can be proven false by police, rendering your true statement not credible while also incriminating you.

How does someone telling the truth get them charged with crimes they didn't commit? Couldn't remaining silent also run that risk, if they have a perfectly good explanation? I know someone convicted of a crime for the latter reason. FWIW I am an attorney, just playing devil's advocate.


Tell you what bawdy , you gimmie some cotton candy wiff dat coke and maybe we get down to brass tacks, even shoot some hoops


Cops: We have a lot of physical evidence
Jeff: Like what
Cops: 🥺

They will still talk to you even if they have pretty ironclad evidence. They are never really satisfied that they have enough because they know every jury trial is a roll of the dice. They want all they can get. Confessions, DNA, fingerprints, eye witnesses, etc. They want it all. But it is still true that oftentimes even if they have no evidence they will say they have a lot. It is one of their main tricks for drawing someone into talking.

@iTheGeek if they have enough evidence the only thing that a confession will do is save time and the taxpayers money for the trial. Is it possible that a jury would find him not guilty, yes, but that would mean they had insufficient evidence or significant police or prosecutoral misconduct. Then again the investigators could very well be lying and they have zero obligation to be truthful to the suspect. Especially if there are multiple suspects invloved.

yeah, when they start saying that u know they havent sh*t, if they really have evidence they dont say it at all. because then they need no confession, they allready have a case against U.


Do not talk to the police... All risk, no reward, it's like playing Russian roulette, best possible outcome is you end up right where you started.


As a nurse I have found the strangest of thing when it comes to addicts, when they come out of the withdrawal faze, they are usually the kindest and most polite people. It’s as if they are so sensitive they can’t handle this world and have found a way to cope through whatever substance they find themselves addicted to. This is not always the case, but 9 times out of 10 they are the most polite empathic patients I have. I try to never judge them. I don’t know what has happened in their life that has made them turn to drugs or alcohol but usually it’s something traumatic.

@Lizz exactly. That’s why all drugs should be regulated.
Why do u think it’s easier for kids to get drugs than alcohol?
Because alcohol is legal. And bought only thru the proper channels.
If you believe the failed drug war is the continued way to go to continue policing the poor , u really are young and naive, or haven’t done any research

@Elizabeth Walker I can understand if they harm someone and the person is then put behind bars. However, if someone is getting into drugs and need help, how is putting them behind bars gonna help? Prison puts you in this irreversible cycle of going in and out. There are many addicts that have recovered. I don't think it's fair to them if they never get a chance to redeem themselves.

@Rob Banks simple drug possession? It is illegal. Do you know how many deaths have occurred through drugs? Kids getting hold of their parents drugs, car accidents, hurting the people around you. There has to be punishment but being forced to go to rehab, does that work?

@Rob Banks He will tell you himself he ran into a bad crowd. No, nothing happened to him except stupidity of trying that first drug. He has destroyed his life. He has had three wives and four kids all gone because of drugs. He has felonies, all because of drugs, he lost an amazing job, his house and all of his money because of drugs, he now has started stealing from family. For my own peace of mind and my kids, he is no longer in my life. He has burned every bridge and so many people have tried to help him.

@Elizabeth Walker sometimes its not so much as wanting to drugs but the drugs wanting you. I run but they still find me

@Andrew Olson you're right, its not an excuse. Its a reason.

@Jessica Keim As somebody who has been exactly where you are can tell you there is a light at the end of the tunnel, even though it may not seem like it now. There are ways to clean up and people out there who can and will help. If you ever need somebody to talk to who can relate, I am here. Just let me know.

@Delon Duvenage that doesn't go for everyone man and anyone can manipulate, they don't have to b an addict. I hear u tho, I know exactly where u r coming from and u obviously have some animosity towards your brother. But, can u look in the mirror and say you haven't manipulated anyone or done any one wrong? Your brother NEEDS help not to be ridiculed and shunned by his own family..he has those actions because he is sick

@Rob Banks for Suboxone to work properly the patient MUST b in full blown withdrawal. So unfortunately because Methadone is such a long acting Opioid it took me 3 days without a dose to go into withdrawal. If the patient takes Suboxone while dosed with any Opioid they will be put into withdrawal as soon as the Suboxone starts taking effect. When your dosed or high and given Suboxone which contains Naloxone you will go into withdrawal because it blocks your Opioid receptors in the brain. Trust me, it's much more comfortable to b in withdrawal before taking Suboxone...I had my first dose when the pharmacy opened at 9am and I was feeling great before lunch that day had another dose at 4 and by 6pm I had no withdrawal symptoms whatsoever. If it wasn't for Methadone and Suboxone I can honestly say I most likely would not b leaving this comment right now. Good luck on your path

@Delon Duvenage Your addict brother is 1 person not a representation of  ALL addicts

@Delon Duvenage Your addict brother is 1 person not a representation of  ALL addicts

Delon Duvenage there are some addicts that are psychopaths as much as there are soccor moms that are psychopaths that only act nice when it benefiting them and shows their true colors when they can’t you to do what they want. People are all different and your experience with your brother isn’t the definition of all addicts just like my post was not me way saying all addicts are sensitive , decent people. I’ve had horrible addicts who are abusive verbal and physically, the ones who are only nice because they want me bring there pain medicine, just like I’ve had verbally abusive lawyers, dads, grandpa, grandma, moms, and former nurses, who I’d rather quit my job than go in there room and deal with their verbal abuse. I’m not easily manipulated btw. This was just my observation and yes I’m taking into account the addict who are super nice to me and calls me every 1-3 hours for pain medicine they aren’t due for, but a lot of them don’t and those are the ones I was referring when I said “they are usually the kindest most polite people.”

@Chandra Cox I agree 100% and have been thru the same as u twice. No one wants to be dope sick...it's fucking HELL! And all one needs to feel normal again is to score some dope or pills or whatever they are hooked on. Dope sickness lasts a long time depending on what substance they are using, with Opioids it can take months for your body and brain to fully "detoxified" and in full recovery. That's meaning they can sleep properly again, no chills/sweats and the rest of the residual withdrawal symptoms of long term Opioid use. One doesn't have to "abuse" prescription meds to be dependent or addicted either and that's what a lot of ppl and even doctors don't understand. Even when patients take their prescribed meds as directed by their doctor they WILL get addicted or dependent on that medication and that includes non-narcotics aswell. Our bodies can and will get dependent even with anti depressants or anti anxiety medications.

This means sooo much to us who are struggling with addiction and lived or still living thru hell. Thank you again Madeleine, you are a truly an amazing human being.

Chris Randall alcohol is one of the worst drugs :( goodluck to u

Thank you, because as a former addict I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with nurses. In one case, the nurse saw marks on my arm and said I was lying about being sick (i wasnt, I have a chronic illness and was rehospitalized the very next day in fulminant condition) and then I heard her talking to another nurse saying I was lying about my address and place of work (I wasn’t, I was a functioning addict and had a corporate job).

It’s so incredibly frustrating dealing with those kinds of nurses so I thank you for treating these people with respect and care. Especially in the midst of withdrawal they won’t be themselves. Now, that being said, a lot of addicts are really scummy and dishonest people before and after drugs get involved.

Seems like you are a very perceptive nurse thank you for what you do God bless.

It's actually because they have experienced so much suffering at their own hand. Think about what that does to a person. To be responsible day after day for your own suffering and be incapable of changing your actions.

They have a profound recognition of their own shortcomings and won't tend to judge you for yours.

@Andrew Olson What would you say to cancer patients that were put on large doses of morphine on and off for a number of years?
I know one - her 1st dose of oxy when she was only 7 yrs old.
Drs gave her no chance for survival.
It was a miracle a new treatment became available for her and at the age of 15 she was declared in remission.
It took another 6 years for her to be opid free.
It is the same shit a heroine only legal.
She is now in her 20s and living a good healthy lifestyle but she said word for word....if she didn't have the right support system and understanding family to get her through it she would've have turned to street drugs 100%.

My point is.....no one wakes up one morning and says "I want to be an addict!"

Thank you for your kindness. Had a parent with addiction. It's brutal.  Often I couldn't respond with or feel empathy just sadness,  anger, and hopelessness.  Now as a parent I have more empathy for both of us and others who deal with addiction.

Amen to that. You nailed it on the head. That's all I'm willing to disclose about what I went through and what I did about it but you are definitely right.

God bless Nurses, can't even imagine how is it like to be surrounded by sick people, and work with them.  Hell of a job :) thank you, from an engineer in other side of the world.

Been clean from opioids for 8 years after 10 years of addiction.  Its a struggle. I sometimes believe there no such thing as forever sobriety after hard addiction except through death. Every addict ive know has relapsed. I know im one pill or sk from being "Jeff" again.

I am a drug addict and I would rather not say what kind of drugs I take, but under the influence I feel very tense and I can't bottle up my emotions anymore, I lose my inhibitions ans I am laser focus on getting my fix. This drug help me to vent my anger and frustrations on other people and that's why it makes me extremely violent. Sometimes I stalk people to hurt them, but I haven’t had the courage to actually approach them. Only one time I did it and the police caught me fast because I was in a frenzy. It wasn't a premeditated assault.

But what this drug does to is to distract my attention from my emptiness and the longing for intimacy. So, I agree with you when you say that when I am not under the influence I am a sensitive and gentle person. At least I try.

Funny that it seems so strange to you...

Is the 9 times out of 10 a personal static? Because I have absolutely seen way worse from someone coming down, and in the middle of being dope sick. They can definitely become unreliable, and psychosis is a real thing that sets in when one doesn't have their fix. So a breakdown can definitely happen, but there is a major difference between the ones who break down and flood emotions and truth, as opposed to the ones who clam up and want to fight back.

Andrew Olson For what? She is not excusing, she is explaining why she thinks most people turn to drugs. But, I know she may have used big words and spelling is probably hard for you. I hope I helped.

@Keeks Bee theres nothing like withdrawl. It's hard to explain. I've been trying to get clean off heroin and in withdrawl I'd do anything if someone would just kill me. That's how bad it is :( but noone understands they think we are losers and dont deserve help. I got on heroin cuz of severe sexual, emotional and physical abuse from the time I was 14. I'm 38 now and been on heroin 3 years I wish I'd never done it but I wanted to die and did it thinking I'd overdose and die without pain. I didnt die tho and instead got addicted. Wish I could change it but I cant...

Thank you for saying that it's so true. I had so much abuse my whole life I tried to take my own life many times. Then I got addicted to heroin because it killed my pain. But when I withdrawl it's so horrible and I cant focus and I'm not myself. You said it perfectly

I'm a neuro & I've had the exact same experience. Opioid addicts in particular tend to be the sweetest, people-pleasing, hyper-sensitive individuals. It's as if their natural state is to feel "raw" so that everything is too difficult to bear. "Being born 2 drinks behind" is a phrase we use when referring to people with anhedonia, which is a mild form of depression which is common among folks who are in recovery or have post-acute withdrawal syndrome.

You sound like an amazing nurse!! After I was raped by my stepdad and got pregnant with my daughter, I started drinking to numb the pain. I have a big heart and am very empathetic. Your assessment is accurate from my vantage point.

@David Campbell v narrow minded. My parents were police officers. Grandparent too. I took it drunk at a university party and was on the streets within 6months. Couldn't not take it the FOLLOWING DAY. Addiction knows no colour, class or morality. At 9yrs clean I ve a lovely hard working life. Brought about by MYSELF in the middle of nowhere with dirty cops like that treating me like shit thee whole time. Can't touch me now. Peace brother.

@Psychic Truth! Yup I was trafficked. Its real and every addict deserves the only chance to get better. Any doctor will confirm cold turkey can't and won't work. We'll done for pointing out the reality.

@Psychic Truth! Much much less than their crimes!!!! Cost should be weighed on a much wider spectrum rather than just money???? How about pain, worry, rape and murder of female and male addicts? Treated like shit for the one mistake using I'm sure they pay dearly for. Sure enough myself. 9yrs clean. Methadone saved my life. 6 women alongside me died waiting on the same. Takes YRS to get. Everyone deserves an honest decent chance to get better. ✌♥💪🙏🏴

Great, loving comment. 9yrs clean. God bless you.

Madeline I have a lot to say on the topic but for now I’ll just say thank you. There is horror in our lives... everyones.... but mine has stopped me from everything I’ve ever tried to do. I had a big record deal, a very good band, and a beautiful girlfriend.... not anymore but I’m still trying. I really miss my dog the most. Here’s to second chances 😢 good luck guys...

People that turn to drugs usually are really nice people that can't handle all the bad in this world, think of this the next time you see a " junkie " lying on the side of the street. Don't berate them, help them. Don't ever look down on someone unless you're giving them a hand to get up !!!

Yes. I believe the same regarding their sensitivity. Self medicating.

As others noted, thank you for your compassion and empathy.  In my experience as a person in recovery w a lot of interaction w docs & nurses, I've mostly gotten the cold shoulder.  (Unless while at a place specifically meant to treat addiction, like a rehab.).  Even as someone who has been clean and sober, I still get judged when I inform the medical staff that I am an addict and cannot take certain meds.  I have seen it change the whole tenor of an appt.  It means a lot to hear this from a nurse.  So many people don't understand addiction, and they hate us for being addicts.  It's been rough.  I'm very grateful to be clean.  I have a lot of compassion for what you all go through.  Thank you for what you do, and thank you so much for understanding & for having a kind heart.

@Rob Banks I transitioned from methadone to suboxone within 48 hours of my last dose in a medical detox facility. When you hit full withdrawal, you'll know. That's the time to start the subs, however it is best to do in a facility under qualified medical supervision where they have a specific scale to go by (I cant remember the name of it, though) as precipitated withdrawal is dramatically worse than the standard acute symptoms of withdrawal.

@Aditi thank you very much. I know it's a long, hard road ahead of me, but I am working as hard as I can to stay clean and get my life back.

Were u with him 24/7 as a child?

Chandra Cox so tell us about the transition from methadone to suboxone please?
Did You have to wait 4-5 days from your last methadone dose to take subs?
I thought that you must be in the peak of withdrawals, thereby having no opioids attached to the mu-opioid receptors so that the sub could attach without kicking the methadone off and going into precipitated withdrawal. WHICH IS HARSH-

Think of narcan-
For those who were heavily addicted and given narcan , withdrawal floods you so fast and intense.
U go from pin point pupils to the size of a saucer.

It makes me furious that people are sent to prison for simple drug possession.
Period.
That does not need to be a crime!

Sweetheart, thats so nice what you said and so true, im off all substances now but i used heroin on childhood abuse, i was in pain and heroin is a painkiller, i just never knew this for years, off drugs i think im a really nice person in a sense of being kind thoughtful and having a good care for others, i love what you said and would give you a huge unconditional hug

@Noelle Marceau wish you all the love and support 💕hope you figure it out. You can do it.

@Noelle Marceau wish you all the love and support 💕hope you figure it out. You can do it.

Thank you for this. As a recovering heroin addict, it's really amazing to know that there are people out there like you who recognize that addicts are generally good people. Often, we are just self medicating and/or looking for ways to cope with a life that may have dealt us far more than our fair share of shitty hands. I can say this, because that's absolutely what I was doing, and it would be a lie to say that I don't still struggle with it sometimes.

As an man with empathy there is a line drawn when "addicted" people hold up people with a dirty syringe or rob someone else .And dont rack that up to the misfortune of someone whos been abused . Passing the abuse on IS wrong , and should be punished. And i dont trust the police and i have done drugs ....but im not "addicted" to anything  except anger at   addicts pleading addiction for abusing someone else.....crap ptooey!

This makes me think even more that they shouldn’t be put in prison. They should be treated as the same with mental illness. I don’t know why people hate their guts so much, but unless someone hurts another person, I’ll keep sympathizing.

I never understand why addicts are put in prison. They deserve therapy and rehab, not prison. Prison is for criminal. It's just so messed up.

@flaming roch if that is true that is pretty ironic.

My brother is a drug addict and has been for 35 years. We were both raised in the same home, same parents, and circumstances. Both of our parents are law abiding citizens and were decent parents. My brother is one of the smartest nicest people when he isn't on drugs. Sadly he will go back to them every time. So in his case there wasn't any tragic terrible thing that happened. He just fell into a bad crowd. I never touched a drug because I din't want to be anything like him.

Thanks for this comment. My own father is a recovering alcoholic and he's done some horrible things while drunk out of his mind. But without it, he's the most sensitive, caring and kind person. My friends don't understand why I still love him and visit him despite all the nasty stuff that happened to me due to his alcoholism. It's because it's an illness and he's doing his best to beat it. People are so incredibly judgemental about addicts. I know I have all the right to be angry at him, but I'm just not. I love him.

particularly with opioids, the reward system is rebounding after a long time of suppression.  The brain becomes flooded naturally with more dopamine and serotonin and the first stage of what alcoholics anonymous terms "the pink cloud".  You feel euphoric, sunlight feels better than ever, optimism and opportunities seem abundant being unshackled from the drug and you can feel much more connected and caring for others.  Unfortunately, the brain balances out usually within 4 weeks or so after the end of acute withdrawal symptoms.  Thats my guess about what you are experiencing more so than most addicts being to sensitive and caring for the  harsh world around them although I'm sure that can be the case for some.

Madeline Harlow you are very perceptive. That is pretty much the reason most people in <br>turn to drugs to cope. And it takes many of them years to understand...if we ever do! ;)

@Steve W I had to get on methadone to stop. And then taper, get on suboxone and then taper off that. There is no one that can say they are fine from heroin addiction after withdrawal with no medication. Medication is a must in my opinion but it comes with its own risks of abuse and addiction as well.

We need more people like you in this world. I am a former heroin addict and have been clean for over 6 years now. When I was in my worst state ever, pregnant and addicted, I checked myself into a hospital and simply walked in and said "im pregnant and addicted to heroin please help me". I cannot even begin to tell you how shocked they were but the kindest people ever helped me get through the toughest time of my life. The second I got out of the hospital, I got a cab (which the hospital paid for) to a rehab facility and was there for 90 days. I gave birth during the midst of my rehab stay and had to return back without my little girl. She went to my in laws until I got out of rehab. Now we live in a big house with a big backyard, my kids want for nothing and we make a lot of good decisions, money, and have the time and energy for two beautiful children. Our money goes to things they want and need as opposed to always looking out for that next fix. It's a sad world to be in the throes of addiction and I dont wish it upon anyone. But getting sober is possible. You just have to really really want it.

Not an addict but I can only imagine the suffering they are going through during withdrawal. I am sure the gratitude they feel for anyone willing to help or comfort them would be huge. My heart goes out to all those suffering from such an ugly disease

After you numb yaself with drugs for so long it dulls your emotions and once you get into withdrawal symptoms those emotions aren't smothered anymore and can be articulated in their natural way... I know because I am a addict

Your comment just hit me hard. I’ve struggled with addiction for years been in and out of jails institutions etc. as an addict compassion and empathy from outsiders looking in is so rare. So incredibly rare that an addict gets even a lick of kindness. Thank you for what you do. It means more than you know.


Wammm bamm thank you for the coke put me back in my cell


Over analyzing. Jeff is under the influence of heroine. He’s not doing anything on purpose. He’s on drugs, that’s it. He won’t remember any of this. This is sad


Judging by the fact that the cop refused him a lawyer, and even healthcare, I’d assume the case swayed massively in Jeff’s way. I hope the dude got his butterfinger


UPDATE :
For anyone interested, Jeff has his own You-Tube channel where he discusses this encounter in his own words.
His YT channel is called... "The Legend of Jeff" lol


Once a suspect asks for a lawyer ALL questions by the police MUST stop. This guy was mirandized multiple times and held for hours AFTER repeatedly asking for an attorney. I don't see how any statements he might have made after all of this wouldn't get thrown out.  Officer's conduct was clearly illegal and against Jeff's constitutional right to remain silent and the right to an attorney.

@Cinematic Void yes I was genuinely confused with your comment, but even more confused after reading his. Thought it was supposes to make sense somehow

@Brent Farvors never realized you reacted to my spew of nonsense, if you look above again you realize I made no sense, must of read the first sentence only thinking I was actually giving a productive thought

In this case they probably use the "we needed to wait for him to sober up to talk to him" excuse

Seeing as how they dropped the charges...But, yeah. The second time he "talked", was to get another Coke...Here's hoping Jeff has a clean Christmas...

@Cinematic Void NO. That's in EVER STATE! The 5th amendment applies nation wide!

Depending on the state yes, because if you are to be alone in the forest than no one can stop you from getting free coffee in the dark during a good movie


hold on. he asked for a lawyer more than once and the police officer continued to interrogate him. is that not a violation of his rights?

No. It means his testimony MAY not be admissible. Any evidence gained from his testimony is admissible though.

@eViL jEsuS All it takes is a quick u-test and they will know he needs atmeast methadone, withdrawal from Opium is already bad bud he is imprisoned too.

@Missy Maria he said he has no prescription tho

It is. He was also withdrawing and was denied methadone, which can be dangerous.


What troubles me the most about this case or cases like this where cops pressure people for insane periods of time ..sometimes exceeding days, is that you can see first hand how innocent people can have their lives ruined by making an admission of guilt when they are in fact innocent. Many cops don’t care if the person did the crime or not they just want someone to go to jail so the case can be closed.  It’s happened so many times before where the suspect will be so exhausted from the interrogation that they admit to guilt because they just want the endless harassment and intimidation to end.  And sometimes It’s like a war of attrition where the interrogators keep swapping each other out and the suspect gets so delusional by the end of it they might start to believe they really did it..

When I was 10, after I had spent a week with my grandma, just hours after I got home, the phone rang, and I was accused of emptying her coin jar. My stuff was searched. I said 1000x I would never do that (I would never do that) for 2wks I had to go to my grandmas after school, and sit in the living room, surrounded by my grandma, my granddad, my dad and my step mum, while they would question me. Every day I said “no, I didn’t do that.” They asked if I didn’t do it, who did. And I didn’t have the answer to that, so every day, I went back. I was to have to go back every day until we figured out what happened to that money. One day, I said “Ok, I took it,” and then, I had to say what I did with it. The interrogation didn’t end when I admitted to it, so now I was stuck there, again, unsure of what to say, because, I didn’t take the money. So I said, I spent it. They asked what I spent it on… I had nothing to show them for it, so I had no answers. So I said candy. There was no shop nearby, and I had no way of getting to a shop without my grandma taking me. So they didn’t believe me. So more days went by, my stuff was searched again, for new things, there were no new things, I didn’t take the money. Then after many more days of these interrogations, I said I buried it. They asked why, I didn’t have an answer. Then I realised I could say I buried it so I could come back for it later. They asked me to show them where I buried it. See if we could find it then to give it back. I didn’t bury it, because I didn’t take it, so I didn’t know what to say. They asked me if I buried it at the park nearby, so I said yes, and I walked them around that park, from bush to bush and tree to tree, telling them, I wasn’t sure which bush I buried it under. I eventually said I buried it here, and we dug around a bit, but it was obvious nothing was buried there. The interrogation continued for what felt like a very long period of my life, and then, I was told I wasn’t welcome at my grandmas for a while. This entire process broke my heart, because I couldn’t understand what was happening. I knew about the money jar, my grandma told me at least once or twice while I stayed with her, that I could take $2 and by myself something from the shops. But I only ever went to the money jar with permission. I knew no one else could have taken the money, because why would they, and who would have? There was no one but my grandparents that knew about it. I was just lost over this, which is why I eventually just admitted I stole the money, because, there was NO ANSWER. It broke my heart, my grandma didn’t trust me anymore, my grandad didn’t trust me anymore. My dad was disappointed in me. Everyone was hurt. Most of all me. It wasn’t until about 10 years later, I realised what happened to the money. I told my dad. He listened, whether or not he believed me, I dunno. My relationship with my grandma was never the same. My dad, my grandad and my grandma, are all dead now, and so, I actually hope, they know the truth. They know it broke my heart, and my confession was a lie. I never took that money. The person who took that money, was a girl who lived in the neighbourhood. Her name was Mallory, she was someone I talked to sometimes in the street, and one day I asked my grandma if she could come swim in the pool with me. After swimming, we went inside to change, I showed her the coin stash, showing off as a kid does. Then I went to get changed to bike around with Mallory, I forgot all about showing her my grandmas coin stash. When we were on our bikes, she was behind me, I heard jingling. I asked her about it, and she jingled her arm at me, and told me it was her bracelets. She had a lot of those very thin silver bracelets, they were popular back in the 90s. I thought it was weird and questioned her some more, and then she said, “here you can have some.” And she gave me a couple. Then she said she had to go home, and she biked off. And I never saw her again. I never thought about it again. Until I was an adult, and I realised what happened. She emptied my grandmas coin jar into her plastic bag, holding her swimmers and towel. It was jingling as she biked along. That’s what I heard, that’s where the money went. I am gutted I never thought of that when I was a kid. But it wouldn’t have helped, I didn’t really know Mallory, and I didn’t really know where she lived. Somewhere in my grandmas neighbourhood. It wouldn’t have helped my case, and I probably would have gotten in trouble for showing someone where my grandmas stash was anyway. I often think of this experience, and I can honestly say, it changed me as a person, going through it. Lying and admitting to something I didn’t do. Being forced into a lie. It defeated me. It defeated me to tell people I love, I did something awful, when I really didn’t do it. I know people lie and admit to things they didn’t do. Because the pressure, it gets to you. Not having answers to their questions, not having an alibi, having no explanation for something that so obviously happened, and having authority not let up, not stop asking, not stop telling you you’re guilty…It makes you tell them you are. I am 36 now, and it still hurts to this day, knowing what happened to me. It was a relief to remember Mallory’s part in it… But it doesn’t change the hurt I caused myself, lying.


This, ladies and gentlemen, is why you DO NOT talk to the police. Notice how the guy who didn't talk was released? And all the other videos where the people give 3 hour long stories why they're innocent ends up with them getting life!  Be Jeff my friend. Be Jeff. 🤷🏻♂


See how quickly the demeanor of the detective changed when he realized Jeff wasn't going to give him any information? NOTHING YOU SAY TO THE COPS WILL HELP YOU! KEEP YOUR FUCKING MOUTHS SHUT EVEN IF YOU ARE INNOCENT!

It's a sad reality. Any police show I've watched they only ever get sent down due to talking. Unfortunately it doesn't always seem about finding the right person just the person stupid enough to talk. Even as someone that doesn't commit crime I would refuse to talk which is sad...
