It is so uncomfortable to watch these innocent people being treated like criminals.

@0397rb im sure it's true but Netflix documentaries tend to add in some things for hype

@Jude Goche not quotas but there's money from the government linked to their arrest records, incarceration rates.. so, basically there is one

@thellamalina it's called The Confession Tapes

@Spiritcr1jsher it's the actual video, you can research the case log. it's credible..

@Mark Pipo i mean floyd died via suicidal overdose on fentanyl. He couldnt breathe while still sitting alone in his car. Police fuck up all the time but to imply floyd died of anything besides an od is just disingenuous and patently false

@guava Id rather every police force be disbanded and people arm and defend themselves. Quit pretending police forces are ANYTHING other than a well organized gang.

@guava yeah but this is incompetent and brash assumptions made by incompetent cops

@GloriousMane there arent quotas you gotta understand that theyd thought they were guilty these are unique legal mess ups and incompetence on the part of the officers and prosecuters I hate to see it but cops are necessary and not all bad the work they do just gets blown out of proportion

@Kritav Shah No, obviously this is an exception, which there are exceptions to everything

@pistondriven556 it's much MUCH more than 1%.

There are current around 1.8 million incarcerated people in the US. 1% of them are innocent. That is 18,000 innocent people behind bars. That is not acceptable.

It is so uncomfortable to watch anyone being treated like that.

@guava So you're saying a small white man that's absolutely not related to a tall black man would help solve the case?

And from this video you should learn to feel same about supposed 'criminals', too, because you never know for real! Human error is not just frequent, humans actually are walking errors!

Except the guy that murdered his whole family he did do that lol

@0397rb confession tape maybe? bc i cant fins smt called confessions :/

@GloriousMane They're treated like this so they can to find out who the criminal is, hello?? It's not about quotas it's about putting the right people away. They can't just magically tell apart who is guilty and who is not. Would you rather them just imprison every suspect instead?

That is why it is called “Guilty until proven innocent”

It's more common than criminals being treated this way. There are always more suspects than guilty people, and coos don't give a shit if you're actually guilty or not. They just want to fill their quotas.

@Deb Rogers being as a police officer sucks only to silence us. They even killed George Floyd and the other guy too.

@0397rb i would take anything on Netflix with a grain of salt

watch the Netflix show confessions, it'll make you cry. convinced this guy he killed his mom


This almost happened to me, the fact I was in my work uniform saved my ass


WHY ARE YOUR VIDEOS DISAPPEARING? last I checked there was like five left and now there’s only three of them 😭


so emotional !!!! I actually teared up for a whole day after watching this video, truly a piêce of art that I would recommend to my 1 years old sister


That term "will be used AGAINST you" means what it says. Anything you say to a police officer / investigator that could be used as your defense, wil ultimately remain discarded until YOUR lawyer obtains that information.

You need to understand something important, when you are arrested, you have just become a player in a very serious game. Only issue is, you have been raised to trust our judicial system, you've been tought by society that cops are the good guys. And they are, but only up until you are pitted against them in this game of absolute ridiculousness.

For Christ sakes, we look up to a grown ass adult who wears a black bath robe to work, where he plays with a tiny wooden mallet?? Plus the worst possible aspect of this game is that if there is no video evidence, no DNA, no figer prints, no actual evidence at all, your oponite, (the prosecution) will revert back to the worst, most unreliable sources possible. And the public will see these lie detector test results, or eye whiteness testimony, jail house snetches, shoe print analysis, clothing analysis, and many many more things we humans have used as long back as when we murdered people for witchcraft, as the most solid and daming evidence ever. Who needs to be positive when ole Beth Barns saw his silhouette jump the fence 4days before the crime ever took place, right? No, i mean we dont need to take a long hard look at how we run our society and judicial system, not at all, the only thing we update is our computers' operating system, to ensure that we can store more ridiculously wacked out bullshit we call fact / reality.


it must be so terrifying to be in a room with someone confidently telling you that you are guilty for something you had literally NOTHING to do with. my anxiety is so bad in normal living situations. i’m quite confident i would have a stroke of some sort!

I've literally experienced this.

The interrogator isn't confident: He is actually shitty at his job and he knows it.

Been there, luckily not the police and just some idiots accusing me of stealing, it’s very hard to prove your innocence when it’s your word against many

Omg same, I felt stressed the f out for him when the instigator said that. I would gotten made like the first guy.

Same. I think I would be in jail due to my anxiety plus having a bad memory. I wouldn't be able to prove myself innocent.

Same. I have a really similar demeanor to this guy. I would probably fall into the exact situation. Scares the crap out of me.

I would not have believed 8n this level of incompetence if it weren't on video.

I would find it somewhat amusing, as did Michael, obviously. His reaction doesn't seem odd at all to me. Guilty people, in my experience, often react in a far more defensive manner.

@TheChillyCucumber dude thats my mightmare

if i was in his situation my anxiety would make me act suspicious as fuck omg

Story that will make your skin crawl: many years ago I woke up to a flash of light outside of my window at like 5 am, and all of a sudden my entire house was flooded with FBI agents. They woke up all of my family members and herded us into the living room to be monitored while they brought my dad downstairs to interrogate him for about 2 hrs and 1/2. Screaming in his face that they knew he was guilty. That they know what he’d done. That they’d been watching him. What did they think he did? They had gotten the OK from a judge to raid our home and arrest my father as part of a giant country-wide sting into a massive online child pornography ring. My dad was so traumatized by the interrogation that he would wake up in a panic for MONTHS. My dad insisted that they could literally track his time card at work and his phone activity and whatnot. He had proof that all he did was wake up in the morning, go to work all day, and barely spend a few hours with his family before bed. Somehow, he was able to convince him that they were looking for the wrong guy. They took our computers to do further investigation. Come to find out a few weeks later that there was another bust and that our neighbor’s very creepy, reclusive family member had been living in their basement and using OUR unsecured (NEVER LEAVE YOUR NETWORK UNSECURED—we hadn’t realized it was.) WIFI network to download and distribute child porn. Fucking sicko. The saddest part is that there were two small children living on the premises :(
What’s insane is that a judge somewhere was able to sign off on a raid on our home and thought these things of my father based on someone else’s disgusting behavior and could’ve easily ruined his life, if not his professional reputation if what had happened was to be made public somehow. Truly terrifying.

@Big A Yikes. =( Even worse it happened to you as a child. Bad enough to do that to adults, but a KID in SCHOOL? Very sad.

In middle school this cop threatened me with hurting me so that I’d confess to something I didn’t do. I was a kid, I was so afraid I just confessed to something I didn’t do so that it would end!! At the time I didn’t realize how evil and wrong what he was doing was!!

@Teresa Roberts Oh yeah, it's certainly happened. Historically such tactics have been used on people with mental disabilities in particular.

As such people may have a reduced comprehension on how present actions may effect their future, they may do whatever necessary to get themselves out of an unpleasant, present circumstance with zero regard to the consequences.

i.e., they realize if they confess that will end the scary interrogation they're currently facing, but they do not understand they're trading a few hours of present comfort for years and years in a prison cell in the future.

Very scary and unjust.

Gives very much The Trial by Kafka vibes. It's surreal thinking an eerily similar scenario exists and is often played out.

@angry zergling yes, and then what's worse is some people are so anxious and scared they will then confess to a crime they didn't even commit

Oh my God I can't even imagine. The full force of the government is coming down on your head and stuffing you into a cage for something you had absolutely nothing to do with. And what can you do? Just telling the truth isn't good enough. You have to prove that you didn't do what was done. (Yeah yeah innocent until proven guilty isn't always the way it's done. A cop's word is basically 90% of the way to conviction if it's a judge deciding it, and 75% of the way if it's jury. If you don't have hard evidence to prove your innocence or irrefutably contradict the officer's testimony, then that sworn statement and no further evidence is enough to get you convicted)

And what makes this sort of thing even worse is you don't even really need to have a perfect storm of bad luck resulting in genuinely mistaken identity or something for this to happen. The perp might be a short white dude and you might be a tall black guy, but they'll arrest you anyway and even refuse to entertain the possibility that your tall black self is not in fact a stubby white guy.


Such a good guy seriously! Hope this didn't alter his personality too much, good thing he won his civil trial! :)


I feel like even if I wasn't guilty of a crime I'd still be nervous as if I was guilty due to the possibility of false imprisonment.


how does this dude stay so calm i would literally be sobbing lmao.


Love the end of that video man so glad that pure gent got 46k for his troubles shame the officers didn’t get sacked but at least the got demoted ! Class channel<br>This haha shame there’s only 17 vids

Its sad seeing an innocent man desperately trying to defend himself.

AT LEAST he had the ability to verbally defend himself somewhat. Some people are threatened into not doing so. That is why it is imperative that the cameras in cells/interrogation rooms also film head-on the interrogator. Because, the officer can be giving not verbal threats and cues, which the subject has been conditioned to understand beforehand. People just don't understand.

Give guy should be a detective or get him a job working as manager in a law firm. That was incredible work on how to maintain your composure and contain your emotions. Brilliant.

I’m screaming at my tv right now “please get an attorney right now” guilty or innocent always get an attorney and don’t talk to police without an attorney present. Especially a cop like this who is clearly incompetent and a giant pos. I wouldn’t give this officer a glass of water if he was on fire

And also seeing him slowly realize that there’s nothing he can do. And that he’s going to jail for something he didn’t do

@Wesley Ferguson damn man something gotta give this can’t go on no more I’m so sorry 😞

Cancel culture, like going after video games, saying D&D is satanic,   etc.  Yeah cancel culture has been around for millennia

@Chen Chen Bro stop blaming it on cancel culture, people have been getting cancelled and wrongfully convicted way before now

I don't know why, but it's even more depressing seeing an innocent man calmly trying to explain himself, and being shut down by a liar

It seems my comment screw some people off too close from their house

@Chen Chen what has that got to do with anything lol

That’s why every innocent person should get a criminal attorney! Never talk to the police!

@Alan Gonzalez really? You think internet does not make people losing their career? What type of  camel logic is that. Have you ever hear smear campaign dude?

@Chen Chen COMPARING CANCLE CULTURE TO THIS LMAOOO bro you don't live in the real world - get off twitter/internet once in a while damn

@Vivashvan Bhushan Johnny Depp's situation was a civil litigation matter, not a criminal matter.  His job on the Harry Potter film is also a civil matter.  The "guilty until proven innocent" standard in criminal matters is not actually the same as in civil matters.  If you think Depp has legal recourse over his firing, please explain how.  I think it's lame that they fired him, but he did start a lawsuit where in the course of losing that suit, the judge said that the evidence regarding domestic violence were credible. It should be a lesson to all of us to not start fights we can't win.

@angela nadeau Good cops quit, get framed, or get killed.

Marginally decent cops stay part of the system without speaking up against what they know goes down while perpetrating little of it.

There’s a difference.

... to lying cops, who give good cops a bad name.

... to lying cops, who give good cops a bad name.

@Jesus Christ do... do you even know what schizophrenic means..?

[not my account] It’s sad being in that position. And sadder once the relief wears off when you realize that they held you in that stupid little room for 30 solid hours and beat the shit out of you because they didn’t really care about finding the right guy. They wanted to close a report in a way easy for the da to deal with.

You fuckers had DNA from the guy the WHOLE time. You could’ve swabbed me the whole time. Actual investigation only needed to take 15 mins. You wanted to put me down for a decade because I was the guy you had, instead of a guy you had to look for still, and you misjudged me as easy to break.

Makes you wonder how many people have been locked up or even executed for a crime they did not commit.

@SueDenim Ho thanks for commenting it. I didn't knew the term and went to check on it, It was a great read. If it were not for you to say it, maybe I would never know it. So thanks :)

@Miguel Ramirez  Carloz do made a good example people getting cancel like Depp, even chris hemsworth and cris pratt are getting cancelled, one because he does not like the state of hollywood culture and the other because his faith, like dude wth? I have a muslim friend I did not like the religion but there is no way i would hate them because of it, you see cancel culture are nothing but a yelling at the wrong space but for some reason it hit someone that does not make anything bad at all on the space, one mess up case is like Indie game developer Alec that commit game end over accusation with very little proofs even after his death his family pretending he is guilty because his pass messed up action he pretty much regret which is not even related to the said accusation to him. Just like a wise man said "if you have people said about  accusation this and that, give them one question 'is there any proofs? The police record? Anything that is really strong enough?' If not don't trust it "and also "if someone said this is my truth, that person basicaly said even my accusation proven to be false it's still right based on my mind" this is the mindset of cancel culture but a sad but true glimpse quote of no matter how strong the proves if he is guilty or not even if you show it infront of their eyes, some will still not gonna believe it . Sorry for the long and late post.

@Miguel Ramirez what's the point of cancel culture? 😂

Cancel culture has cost many lives and people's career lost, this why we need law to supress it not censor it( <b>cough</b> article 13)

It's so satisfying to hear that all of the officers involved in Michael's case were demoted and suspended without pay.  I just wish he'd gotten more than 46k out of the settlement.


The cops know these people are not smart if they say ANYTHING without a lawyer present.


I was so glad to hear that he got compensated and the officers were suspended.


Funny enough, without the benefit of handsight, if someone saw this without knowing this dude was already innocent, they could interpret his calm demeanor as that of a criminal.


I hate being accused of little things like eating someone else’s food. I couldn’t even imagine being put through this.

@The Nefarious Same to you! Thankfully it's just an annoying charge on my record, even though the case was dismissed.

Or stealing someones sweatrool in skyrim

@TIV67 Playz I don't know man. Your comment makes me not wanna be a Christian even more.

@TIV67 Playz you’re making people avoid your religion not join it😂

@TIV67 Playz I'm Buddhist LMAO stop trying to indoctrinate people with this stuff in a comment section that has nothing to do with it. Nobody asked, stop trying to convert people, this  isn't the 1600s.

@TIV67 Playz thanks man hope you are doing well God bless you

@HappyScreams Oh no, that's awful. Hope you're doing ok now.

@The Nefarious I went through the same shit

@into the oblivion LOL<br>I still can't understand why people think that this is a good way to advertise their religions.

@into the oblivion LOL
I still can't understand why people think that this is a good way to advertise their religions.

@EineKartoffel why does jesus need a advertiser? Is he so much out of trend 😂😂

been there where they lied about video when i said well lets watch so i can prove i was not there, he then claims they did a picture line and i was pulled, so he ignores what i said to tell another lie great.  luckily the officer was smart enough to realize i was inocent and he couldn't get me to say or do anything wrong and i knew my rights but was a long 4 hours talking after waiting a hour in the interigation room.

Exactly the sort of defensiveness I would expect from a food-stealer...

ive always said one of my biggest pet peeves is being accused of something i didnt do or that's wasnt my true intentions

Literally what I was just thinking!! I would lose my fucking mind

@TIV67 Playz You are scaring people away from your religion. You know that, right?

Well to be honest we all know you did eat that food, I mean we got you on camera.

@The Nefarious I’m so sorry that happened

Was about to say the same thing! This is basically my worst nightmare tbh

It happened to me on a serious assault charge and I'm not ashamed to say I vomited multiple times from the stress. Fun times.

Bro reminds me of my sister if anything went wrong it was my fault


Absolutely disgusting the way they treated him and he still had the decency to be polite! GOD LOVE HIM THIS WAS HARD TO WATCH! 😟


watching this now i realize how wrong i was doing it as a kid trying to convince my parents that it wasn’t me who did it


I noticed the investigators were punished/demoted and he won a settlement. This was in Canada. In the US, nothing happens to the investigators when they perform this way.

It usually doesn't in Canada either. It's more of a government in general thing. Most people in power never face any consequences for anything they do.


Curious to hear the whole story of the Ontario guy who was falsely accused. How the hell could that have happened? Just because he was in the area, but no one checked the suspect description, or even cared if there was any indication at all that he was connected in any way to the crime.


“Suspect is a small white dude."
"Okay, we got him."
Brings back Dwayne Johnson

@Doogs "it doesn't matter what's my name is"? Kid get back to fortnite

Officer says, what's your name<br>Rock says "it doesn't matter what's my name is"!!

Officer says, what's your name
Rock says "it doesn't matter what's my name is"!!

@Brent Farvors that's how I see 99% of such cases in US

Suspect is a green man about 2 ft tall with a very long beard and very, very, VERY long toes. I mean the size of em is astounding.

Brings in a 13 ft tall woman who is brighter and whiter than the sun with no hair, so little hair in fact it’s been theorized she has no hair follicles. Not to mention the fact she has no toes.

@Chalchiuhtlicue did he have hearing problems?

The guy they caught even looks like a deflated Dwayne :D

@Miklós Donner stop being silly delete your comment then I will delete mine

@Mandy Moo all while living in Texas<br>(or china)

@Mandy Moo all while living in Texas
(or china)

@Mandy Moo don’t forget his number one crime of getting off the bus while black, this cop is a terrible person

@Chalchiuhtlicue It's a way to keep the agenda of Division of society by the PTB.

Turns out the guy had the Rock solid alibi.

A similar thing happened with the Zodiac killer. After he killed the cab driver in SF, some witnesses saw the killer flee the car. They described him as a small white man, but the dispatcher told cops it was a large black man. They said it was a “misunderstanding” but I heard the call audio, they very clearly said a white man, Idk how that dispatcher could have possibly gotten “black man” from what the witnesses said.

@Mandy Moo Yup! %100 in this case! NO EXCUSE! Those pigs are SICK! NO probable cause, and flimsy reasonable suspicion...One phone call should have relieved their suspicion...Most OBVIOUS example of "Find a random black dude", I have ever seen!

Dude, I think you just wrote yourself a franchise!

"as well as not being white, DIXON is 6'3" !hahahaha

It’s about lies, its about power, we take advantage of our hours so all freedom is devoured


The number of innocent people sitting in prison right now is astronomical.... thank you for showing us this side of interrogations because this happens every day.


This 'investigator' should never be allowed to investigate crimes ever again. I can't even imagine the thoughts going through these innocent peoples minds, thinking they're going to be convicted of something they never did. Truly terrifying


So pleased to hear that detective got demoted! Should’ve been fired for the shit show of an interrogation!


"youre going to prison."

"but im innocent."

"youre going to prison. "

"ok, but can i phone my work? "

MOST PATIENT MAN IN THE WORLD.

Like Ray Parker I ain't scared of no ghost!

@Aspid oh, well, look it up, man, you are gonna find it

@Laura Almagro I'm not sure what you mean by "systemic"

@Aspid it's just systemic racism, sweetheart

@Hermes Almeida That sounds extremely racist

A black man that knows how the world works, unfortunately

@Ol Dirty As it is said, funny joke, scary situation

Hi boss.  I might be 30 years to life late tomorrow.


While I recognize that the investigator might seem quite unsufferable for most of the western audience here, as someone who has lived extensively both in Syria and Egypt that cop is nowhere near the level of dishonesty, corruption and impunity I've unfortunately witnessed.
A relative of mine spent a week being tortured for no reason before being freed, and that's after our family was threatened into silence.
I have some friends that where forced to bribe officers because they were envious of their cars and threatened to fine them if they didn't pay up.
And never ever could we dream of being financially compensated for being unlawfully imprisoned.

Unfortunately, a lot of people in "the West" lack perspective of the not-primarily-English-speaking parts of the world.

While the US Justice has areas, like police conduct/procedure, where it is worse than some other "Western" countries like the UK, in many ways it is still better than a lot of the world.

For example, you can't just literaly bribe your way out of prison for a few hundred thousand USD like you can in some areas of the Middle East and Asia, and probably some parts of Africa as well I'd bet.

At least our officers actually, genuinely try to do justice even if they and their methods are very flawed and problematic and could be much better in many ways.


Micheal kept his composure in a very intelligent way through out the interrogation with that dimwitted cop. Sadly he had to endure that grave engagement...


These people need to sue the dog shi* out of these police departments. This is wrong on so many levels!!!!


I've been in this situation. Almost destroyed my life.


JCS heard us asking for an innocent person being interrogated and he delivered wonderfully. Thanks dude!

Now do one on any one of these "medical officers" or politicians talking about the scamdemic.

@mooltz Sure! But the narrator is good. 👍🏻

Dixon is so much of a quality guy - I feel bad this happened to him.  This was an injustice.  They didn't have sufficient evidence to hold him and a good attorney probably would have gotten a release.  Poor guy

@Dally H.  @Dally H.  it was an interesting era to be a tween in. I think it's okay to let people replicate/continue that. (Like to a certain degree. Part of growing is maturing out of obsessions and into interests. And uh, yea some people don't do that when they grow up. But anyways, who can say where the boundary even lies between the two, and also I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with a continued interest in past contents or pop culture, as long as it's not making you shrivel up into someone who hates the present or bums people out.)
And I'm sure there are new youths who stumble across that period and part of the internet and fall down the rabbit hole anew. Dunno where this person lies!

I know you weren't being hateful or anything!! Just putting in my two cents, as someone who was into all that in its prime. (Haven't checked in with that in a while, don't really know when the prime "ended"?)

Your account looks like it belongs in 2012. I thought your breed of teen girl died out years ago. How have you managed to survive for this long? I realize I might sound rude, but I'm not trying to be. I'm not passing any judgment. I am genuinely curious.

He really did it. There’s love for this channel

You should check out Netflix’s Confession’s Tapes... a real eye opener

mooltz Ok, so JCS is not one person, but a group of people. So what you’re implying is that the original poster on this thread should’ve said DUDES instead of dude? GMAFB! I’m sure you can figure out the acronym I just spewed. If I’m wrong, so be it.

The gods have answered our prayers 🙏🏼 I haven’t even started the video yet but based off your comment I’m running with my statement 🙏🏼 we’ve been blessed boys

Delivered what was ordered. Good service. 5 stars 🌟

Y'all do know that the narrator of these videos doesn't create them, right? JCS is a group of people.

JCS one of the all time great YouTube channels!! A+ content and he responds to viewer requests.


They should get paid big time!!! Miscarriage of justice and emotional/ mental pain they went through is unbelievable. I feel so bad for them 😡


I got picked up in Tullahoma, Tennessee after leaving a liquor store.  The lady called the police and said I was the guy who robbed her the week before.  Less than five minutes and I'm being swarmed by these schmucks. I just froze and said wtf,  they said yep, better cuff him.  Asked me a bunch of dumb shit at the police station, never took the cuffs off me.  Asked me what I had to say for myself,  told them they got the wrong guy, what does that say about you,  not long them another detective walks in and says he doesn't fit the description.  Asked me to come back the following Friday for a polygraph.  I said sure, but that was the only lie I told.


I was wondering why the cop was actually being so nice and then realized it was in Canada


Dispatch: “Suspect is a white male”

Cops: “We have a black dude wearing a white t shirt…”

Detective: “that’s good enough for me


I'm so glad the officers in Micheal's case were punished for their actions. Officers are in a unique position where their fuck ups, laziness, or selfishness can infringe on rights of others. Accountability is paramount for the trust of the public.

@sophiaa opened the link just to unlike. Stop posting links unrelated to other videos.

they dont need someone to be guilty, they just need someone to go to jail

was this in the united states?  or canada? lol

You can clearly see a gentle soul just by speaking with Michael,and you can see the innocence of you were not biased shame on them

@Amelia Bee Bc in the US the police are not held to the standard of following the law, merely enforcing it on others.

@sophiaa You’re self promoting your video? That’s just sad. I don’t know why you feel success getting views by peoples getting baited. No one has interest to your video. There is no success about getting false views.

@sophiaa what is the point of posting these links on crime analysis videos? If you are thirsty for views this is a really weird way to try to get them no?

@Amelia Bee That's bc this happened in Canada, not America lol

@sophiaa this booty intro doesn’t have anything to do with this video gtfo


When detectives are coercing, being manipulative, and threatening to hold them in jail is fucking dead wrong. Although, I can understand some pathological liars that can stay calm, and these detectives are using these tactics. However, I would be so PISSED when I am telling the truth, and they are accusing me that I am a liar to the point that I would get agitated, and they will finally call me dangerous and crazy. That part is scary.


This man is much better than me with patience. I would be calling them every derogative in the book if I was falsely imprisoned. I grew up never being believed and had that same "if you're loud you're guilty" experience growing up i just would not be able to handle that


The first guy is the reason why you should ALWAYS ask for a lawyer before answering any questions, even though you know you are perfectly innocent and don't even know why you've been arrested.


I was once picked out of a photo lineup by a woman who had her purse stolen. I was at the dermatologist that day and when I got home did a few things. Went out to hang out with a few friends a few hours after I got home. I get a call from my mother saying there’s police at the door and they need to speak to me, they wouldn’t tell her what about.

So I walk to my house, they tell me that a lady picked me out of the photo book and they need me to come to the station to do a lineup. I go without a problem because I know I didn’t do it. I get into the interrogation room and after being questioned i wrote a two page statement of what I did and where I was that day.

They do a lineup and you’ll hear knocks on the window if the person picks you (ie 3 knocks if you’re number three, one knock if you’re number one). The detective comes out into the hallway and says “oh fuck”, I heard that and think that’s great news for me because she must have not picked me. He goes back into the room with her and then I hear the knocks.

Just so happens that I knew someone who was arrested in the cell next to the room where the witnesses look at the suspects in the lineup. On the way to central booking he told me that he overheard the detective saying to the lady “it could’ve been him maybe he was wearing a wig”. If I would’ve had a lawyer present then I wouldn’t have had that happen.

After about ten to twelve hours (plus the additional five or six I was in the precinct) in central booking and being the last person in the room out of like forty people, an officer gets me and lets me out the back door. I never found out what happened and why they let me go.


Literally, the most fucking demoralizing thing to be told when you're actually innocent:
"Your innocence is not up for discussion."

Literally, the most fucking demoralizing thing to be told when you're actually innocent:
*"Your innocence is not up for discussion."*

how can he even say that he is not the judge nor the jury its a wonder that he was not the executioner as well seeing that he was so sure!!!!

God knows ✌⛪🕉🫂☁💫✝🌍☯✨✨⭐🌼🙏🙏

God knows ✌⛪🕉🫂☁💫✝🌍☯✨✨⭐🌼🙏🙏

Your innocence is not up for discussion Comrade, the trial has already taken place, we're just messing with you before the firing squad.

seeing Crono as your profile pic just made me think of how he was falsely accused and went to trial.

your* can't believe this comment is even edited -_-

@Last First My thoughts exactly. If someone in an interrogation room told me my innocence or guilt wasn't in question, my response would be "Neither is your honesty or level of corruption."

@Disappointment Department This isn’t the US though.

You are innocence is not up for discussion

@Altus Show That actually happened to me once. I think it's just a glitch that happens. You post once and then, for some reason, the comment gets posted twice. Not sure why that happens, but it happened to me on occasion

@fetchstix™ an answer so right you posted it twice.

@Last First If someone is a cop, assume they are lying.

That’s why you don’t believe that. If someone tells you your innocence isn’t in question, assume they’re lying.

Well honestly, the cop was right. His innocence wasn't up for discussion. And honestly, an interrogation room is not the place to fight for your innocence either. ESPECIALLY if you are innocent.


This video and the Stephen McDaniel case really shows there are some shit cops out there! It’s kinda frightening because I’ve always trusted the police, but some of this stuff looks bad!

There clearly are some excellent ones though! The guy who interrogated that school shooter was so calm and collected, even knowing what that guy had done. He broke through all his bullshit.


“I’m saying nothing. I want a lawyer” say nothing else.


Do you have to take into an account that is a 6-foot black man starts to get upset or aggressive with a cop because he's being falsely accused it's usually worse than if he just tries to keep calm so is he really an anomaly or is he just trying to save his life?


Hilarious that the cop has the audacity to state "the truth is paramount" after the guy is utterly BSing nonstop about having the guy on video committing a crime.


Michael’s responses always make me laugh because he is so calm and reasonable in the face of such absurdity. Then he says, “well, thank you, I guess.”  He’s so empathetic towards the officer the whole time . I’m so glad he prevailed.

@FluxShaman That's the thing here, often, when a suspect looks confident, composed, calm, trying to be normal, it means that they actually had time to prepare what they would say, it's why it's hard to believe some people that "did everything". Freaking out and being loudy is easier for everyone, because that's often the opposite of someone trying to escape charges.

issue here is not the interrogation really, but rather why he ended up here, and why they kept going when it became evident he was wrongly accused.

@Adam Kolar I saw another comment that joked about how he probably couldn’t believe that him and his buddies couldn’t catch up to a short white dude, so he had to pretend they succeeded at capturing someone else to save face. XD

It sounds ridiculous, but at this point I can’t even rule off the possibility...

@FluxShaman It's not to pad his record, just to avoid hurt ego from admitting he was wrong. He even managed to delude himself. Pathetic little guy.

18 hours ago and with 1.8k likes wow i've never seen that before

And glad his damage was compensated with 46k$ and suspension of the officers

It’s the cop that should be empathetic towards him though lol, cut straight to the bad cop act without checking out the file.. and this guy is seeking a promotion lol

I don't get a super villain feeling at all lol, dude was confident in his innocence and trying his hardest to give the full truth. If anyone sounds like a super villain it's the detective. That guy was trying everything to pin Michael for something he didn't do, just to pad his record.

yea makes him seem like a super villain actually, but ig hes just well composed<br>edit - i meant it in a cool way lol, u know like how super villains are always calm  and shit

yea makes him seem like a super villain actually, but ig hes just well composed
edit - i meant it in a cool way lol, u know like how super villains are always calm  and shit


17:11 "Were all demoted and suspended without pay"
If only the $46,000 settlement had come directly from the 3 investigating officers' bank accounts instead of the taxpayers pockets.  That's justice.


'Michael' is Michael Dixon and the incident took place in Hamilton, Ontario, back in 2003.  It is important to note that the civil court that awarded him damages found that there was no evidence of a racial motivation for what happened.  It appears this was a simple mistake by inexperienced and incompetent police officers.  It is unclear why Mr Dixon was targeted given that his physical description was so at variance with that reported to police by eye witnesses, though it is worth bearing in mind that sometimes police have to discount eye witness descriptions because of their inherent unreliability.  At the beginning of the police interview, the officer can be heard saying (words to the effect): "We don't care about guilt or innocence", which sounds bad, but there was a context to those words.  What he meant is that, as far as the police were concerned, they 'knew' he was the culprit.  This suggests that there may have been factors that led them to Mr Dixon that have not been reported (albeit he was found to be an innocent man in the end).


"The evidence I have against you is overwhelming"<br>That's funny, considering you arrested a random person off the street that didn't even commit the crime

"The evidence I have against you is overwhelming"
That's funny, considering you arrested a random person off the street that didn't even commit the crime


09:38 "how can you prove to me that you were at home?"
First of all, how can you prove he is guilty?


Feel bad for the dude Accused of burglary and assault. When you’ve gotten your life together, and have worked so damn hard to get your shit together, to be accused and you already know how the law sees you because your previous self. Props to him standing up for himself, and cheers to his exonerations.

@Aya Shayeb It is but false accusations with things like rape the female false accuser rarely gets sentenced

@Kenneth Cortez Those grown-ups should have listened to you and spoken calmly , nicely to you so as not to stress you and prevent you from being able to think and talk. Unfortunately, we people are límited and immature sometimes, and make mistakes. I hope you can leave it behind and  not let it stick inside you. If you still have resentment and sadness etc, you could think about the situation and people while punching a mattress or pillow, and shouting so that you get your anger out of your body. it has helped other people.And forgive them then if you can. it benefits you .

@Andrew sucks in florida you can lie ti the police all day put someone under investigation and after everything admit you lied and not even get a slap on the wrist

@Joe Bob Wow, it's almost as if those people were human beings and celebrities don't deserve all the praise and worship they receive.

@Joe Bob yes... and don't forget Bill Cosby ....

@Temp Temp It benefits the falsely accused, as well as the court system itself.

Currently, the court system is very backed up. Unfortunately, plenty of these are cases where there isn't even sufficient evidence to bring to trial at all. Punishments for false accusations are there to make them think twice (that's the idea anyway, doesn't do any good if not prosecuted).

It benefits the victim because it alleviates some of the fear and frustration around being falsely accused. If the system won't do anything about it, they know they are at the mercy of the next possible accusation.

It benefits society as a whole through both routes.

If it teaches the perjuror that "lying is bad," good, but that's not the primary purpose. As long as perjury is without prosecuted penalty, the system will keep backing up, the victim  will still have good reason to fear further accusations, and society as a whole has to have their cases slowed and hindered by these jerks as well as having to fear the same happening to them. In regards to accusations that carry prison sentences, the effect of perjury amounts to kidnapping and worse.

@Azariah Kyras Get faced with someone falsely accusing you of something that can put you in prison for 20 years and see how you act.

Personally thought it was exagerated but hey

Yeah he must have been really negative to attract all that negativity 🙄. It amazes me people actually think that way.

@Piulin that’s really fucked up , i think they should face the same amount of time the one they accused have or even more , i saw a guy who lost 29 years of his life for a false rape accusation and the woman got away with it

@Aya Shayeb Yeah, but you don't get as high charges as the crime you falsely accused someone of. Which would be fair.

@Andrew sucks I think it’s actually illegal to lie about something like that because you swear that you’re gonna say the truth

She should go to jail for the same charges for accusing that shit <b>Ruins Lives</b>

She should go to jail for the same charges for accusing that shit *Ruins Lives*


I feel like the reason he reacted so calmly to the false accusation is due to how careful POC have to be when handling the law. the detective was already sounding hostile with how he said everything, but a lot of times any anger shown from a black person is seen as aggression or intent to attack. it could have been him knowing that his hand brushing against his leg could be fatally misinterpreted.


Always in every situation have a legal advisor. Because the police are not your friends, and this is a perfect example.


I'd be pissed if this happened to me. I'd want blood from that detective and a big bag of cash from the police for the emotional distress caused by the lies fabricated by that officer.


"He was awarded $40,XXX and the officers were demoted and suspended without pay" LMAO the fact that people think this is a reasonable punishment for people who put someone in jail for two years is fucking mental holy shit we're an embarrassment.


Never talk to police without an attorney, even if you're innocent. They don't care, they just want to get you.

@Slickest Rick You have the right to cousel, but that councel may not be present during questioning. They must stay outside of the room.

Police must stop questioning and allow you to consult with counsel, but nothing says the police must allow counsel be present during questioning.

In Canada you have the right to a lawyer as soon as you're arrested, and the police are actually obligated to stop questioning you until you have a lawyer present when you ask...

They may continue asking questions afterwards, but you don't have to answer

From Canadian charter of rights:

Section 10(b) – Right to counsel

Provision

10. Everyone has the right on arrest or detention:

    to retain and instruct counsel without delay and to be informed of that right;

Related provisions may be found in the following Canadian laws and international instruments that are binding on Canada; section 2(c) of the Canadian Bill of Rights; articles 14(3)(b) and (d) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; and article 37(d) of the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

See also the following international, regional and comparative law instruments that are not legally binding on Canada but include similar provisions: the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America (Bill of Rights); and article 6 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

@Zerø 00 Sounds like you didn't get over yourself.

@Zerø 00 I don't argue with people who think the interactions they've had with cops somehow represent all or even most cops, or that "eventually" all cops turn bad due to their position, I ridicule them for their stupidity.

You say you don't have anything against cops that do their job properly, but I'm going to assume you don't know what that even means so a cop could easily be doing their job properly and you just disagree with it or don't understand.

And I don't need to discredit you bud. You discredit yourself when you pretend cops and civilians are separate. Cops are people that do a job, and that job is helpful and good for society. Get over yourself.

@Zerø 00 I don't think you grasp much actually.

The ACAB mindset doesn't allow for nuance and reason.

@Marco G. Bad cops suck and shouldn't be cops. No surprise.

Thinking even 10% of all cops are so bad is ridiculous. Probably depends on where you are, but the police make society better.

@Zerø 00 i believe not every police are bad..and not every good guy are police..

@THE NEXT LANE it's peculiar that you and your biased kind come here preaching the sanctity of police... under the very evidence they are not.

@Marco G. how many police have you actually met and interacted with? Or are you just reciting from the Antifa handbook?!?

@Kinetic another thing is police like any human being can be biased. It's always best to have a lawyer because whatever you say can be used against you in court.

@Kinetic the childish view is yours. Not all cops are fallen angels in this valley of despair, some of them don't give a s**t about truth and prosecute the hell out of whoever they have in their hands at the moment.

No they don’t that have to do a thorough investigation to see if you are innocent. Because if a murderor is proven not guilty when they are it would cause more deaths. And those deaths would be because of the detective.

@Henry Smith Luckily our justice system is better than the USA. Not great, but better.

They want to get who did whatever happened. Not just ANYONE. lol

@top The one time I was guilty of something I confessed and walked away. The other three run-ins I've had with the police they arrested me and had me spend the night in jail just on suspicion alone, the whole while you're being booked they treat you like human garbage. Then they drill you with full certainty that they're right. You can give a cop your case all you want, it goes through one ear and right out the other. I had faith in the police just like any other white boy but you learn after just a few interactions that they don't give a fuck about anybody.

Ur comment seems like u r experienced in this

@top have fun sleeping in your jail cell when falsely accused :)

@Mosinlogan Yes, it's VERY insane!
When someone gets hurt in a police interaction, the police have the right to have a lawyer present when questioned about it.  The police feel the need to have a lawyer present when being questioned, but ordinary civilians aren't allowed to when being questioned by the police.  How's that for insane?!?

No, you don't have to speak to the police. There's a man who's been a person of interest in his gf's murder for decades and he's never been charged cause he's never agreed to speak to the police.  Many believe he's gotten away with murder.

@Henry Smith really?? That’s INSANE. Do you have to talk to the police? What if you just repeated “I don’t know how to properly answer that question” over and over and over?

That's not allowed in Canada.  Lawyers can't be present when you're being questioned by police.<br>You are allowed to consult an attorney, but that attorney cannot be in the room while you're being questioned.

That's not allowed in Canada.  Lawyers can't be present when you're being questioned by police.
You are allowed to consult an attorney, but that attorney cannot be in the room while you're being questioned.

I would only respond back in Spanish and then when they get a translator I’ll ask for a lawyer in English and some KFC


Michael really did get royally shafted by that so called detective. You can tell the cop was after an easy collar, so much so that he didn't even bother to review the evidence! Just imagine if that other investigator hadn't looked into Michael's case, he'd have been sitting in lock up for a lot longer than 3 days. I try and support the police whenever I can because it really is a thankless job but guys like him can make it hard to do that at times. I'm glad Michael sued them and got some decent compensation out it though I think the punishment against the cop should have been harsher than a mere demotion. I hope Michael's job wasn't affected by all that stupidity.

Justin getting 2 years despite being innocent is a complete farce. It goes to show you that at any time someone can accuse you of heinous deeds and on the back of that accusation alone you can end up in prison for years. I hope Justin sued the popo as well because he definitely deserves some remuneration for those years unjustly spent behind bars.


Goes to show they do not care about justice just a conviction. "LAWYER" is all that should come out of your mouth no matter what.


Imagine how confused you'd be if you get off a bus, and then the first thing that happens is two police officers jumping out of an alleyway and arresting you.


Firstly , he was told he was definitely being charged , but then is told that his actions prior to the alleged crime would be looked into . Absolutely disgraceful and amateurish behaviour from a detective who is not fit for the job . How the suspect maintained his cool throughout is not only admirable , but testament to his good character .


It's SO REWARDING to know that poor dude was compensated for that humiliation and those IDIOTS were demoted and suspended without payment.

@FriendlyChannelll I agree with Dylan.
I say this because there needs to be severe actions taken when you fail to do your job right in this position.
They could have sent an innocent man to prison for YEARS, completely ruining his life all because they failed to actually do their jobs as they have sworn to do.

A loss of your job is not severe in this case. There should be the fear OF losing your job if you imprison an innocent civilian because you CHOSE not to go over the case. THAT IS THE BARE MINIMUM. But he chose to LIE, assume, and accuse someone who literally did nothing.
If this were some job like waiting tables yeah loss of job too severe.
But this isnt some mundane day to day. It is a VERY dangerous playing field where you have to decide the course of thousands if not millions of OTHER people's LIVES!

jail, prison, rape, beatings, loss of family contact, loss of trust for jobs in the future limiting his options for the rest of his life ruining chances and opportunities for family development, advancement, and even possible death.
These aren't even all of the situations the innocent man would have gone through if convicted WITHOUT EVIDENCE!

Loss of job and changes career paths, possibly loses wife if married for doing something so messed up, if he wasn't smart with savings, cant keep up with bills for a little while,  kids judging him rightfully so for making such a stupid decision. These are the situations the law enforcer would have gone through.

Difference? One is COMPLETELY INNOCENT, and the other one made a HORRIBLE decision not to do justice by another because he just assumed it was him and didnt give a damn.
Another difference?
The innocent man didnt deserve any of this while the law enforcer did.

People lose their job for costing their company thousands of dollars, sometimes less. But it's too "extreme" for someone to lose their job over possibly destroying other lives?
Right.

During those 3 days he may have thought he was already fried. Evidence or lack thereof can often be twisted, misleading, or just plain fabricated.

As rewarding as it is...they should've been fired from all law enforcement also had to pay these men for everything they put them through.

@dennis glad he wasnt in america, he would have been executed without interrogation and the officers surely would have been promoted lol

in america the cops would have been promoted for effort lmao

@Dylan Barrino A bit extreme. He was in inprisoned for only 2-3 hours.

Suspended without pay???? Not harsh enough!

dude 15k a day in custody isnt the worst outcome ...

@Exantius E its a failure of due diligence then. The authorities failed. Period

Demoted? ruined a guys life for 2 years. they should be in prison

@Exantius E this case happened in canada.  it cost the Canadian taxpayers for the cop's blunders.

αɴαнαтα love

@Dylan Barrino if every law enforcment person who unlawfully imprisoned an innocent civilian was put in prison we'd have no one left to actually arrest guilty people!

αɴαнαтα love

Would have been much better if they were fired so they cant do it again to someone else.

@Exantius E not corruption I’d say laziness or incompetence or even both

@Dylan Barrino "What the interrogator deserves" seems to rely heavily on whether his actions were "malice versus incompetence".

1. If he intentionally locked up someone that he knew was innocent, and/or applied pressure for the reasons of wanting to inflict psychological abuse, I would agree that he deserves jail time.

2. If he's just a moron who didn't follow protocol because he was clueless, and terrible at his job, etc. he should be fired. But as long of none of it was intentional, it shouldn't be a crime to be "pants-on-backwards" stupid. Criminalizing ineptitude is a giant can of worms lol.

Given so little information, it's hard for me to be confident about whether it was malice or incompetence. Proving someone's state of mind is very difficult. Prosecutor's struggle to do it when they are making a case and directing evidence specifically focused on determining that. This video isn't focusing on the cop's motives, history, professionalism, etc... just on behavioral analysis of the suspect.

As for the other officers, all I know is that the cops who arrested him should have known the subject's physical description, so that's reasonable evidence that they were acting with malice, but again degree of confidence is commensurate with degree of evidence. Next steps I'd take are looking for their police conduct records, arrest rates/demographics, stopping rates/demographics, population demographics where they patrol, their social media accounts, etc.

I LITERALLY CRIED BRO LIKE OMG THANK GOODNESS THEY DESERVED THAT

Not enough of a punishment for those officers. They deserve to be incarcerated not just humiliated.

@Exantius E Um what? the topic of this video is how the behaviors of innocent people accused of crimes can vary significantly, and thus using one type of behavior as an indicator of whether or not someone is innocent is a poor method. This video was not made to directly talk about police corruption. This whole channel is dedicated to studying behavior of detectives and those they suspect are guilty.

EDIT: and the injustice IS on the those investigating that crime. The fault lies with the judge and investigators who charged this man with several years in jail based on one eyewitness (who had proven to lie under oath) and without any other evidence.

@YesNelle That case was different though. The first guy was unlawfully detained because the officer wanted a promotion, ignored the eyewitnesses and proof about his alibi, i.e. that was purely the fault of the police officers that arrested him. The other guy was unjustly arrested because the eyewitness lied to the police, the police had a reason to believe he was guilty (the witness testimony) and the injustice was the fault of the witness. It's terrible for the victim and hopefully he got justice in the form of monetary reimbursement and the lying witness going to prison, but his case isn't an example of police corruption which was the topic of this video

And feel awful for the other guy who spent TWO YEARS in jail for a crime he DIDNT commit. Like of course it must of been terrible to go through, but everyone here talking like three days in county jail is anywhere near as traumatic as spending two years incarcerated.

Thank god he lived in a developed country with a justice system. Honestly, it’s cheesy to say, but I’ve never been prouder of my country than watching this video.

Demotion and suspended without payment isn’t enough.

Everybody who was prominently involved  in that scenario should be banned from any type of law enforcement and sent to prison for attempting to unlawfully inprison an innocent civilian, at minimal.

Slap on the wrist compared to the havoc they wreaked on the lives of the people they targeted. Demotions, suspensions- BIG EFFIN DEAL!


"I have a duty to the truth" he says while he lies his ass off. Police folks probably don't care, but this immoral behavior is what turns good people against law enforcement.


The best part of this story was that he got restitution, and those pathetic excuses for cops were suspended, without pay! They should've been relieved of duty, permanently...


It really stinks that YouTube took the best videos off this channel and gave no explanation unbelievable never mind quite believable


So glad he got $46,000 for a 3 day jail. I'm not saying it's ok, but the guy triumphs in the end. And the demotion of the detectives was a big win. Great video.👍

If he ever gets paid.....the city can decide whenever they want to pay you.  Some people die before getting anything after spending decades in jail


The fact the guy was more worried about missing work unannounced than going to jail should've been a big tell for the copper.

I think somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew he was going to get out of this because he didn't do anything wrong. So concern about being fired was the real immediate threat lol

The assumption is that the officer cares about the truth. Lol.

@Vidar D the cop was so irresponsible and lazy it makes my blood boil. He almost put an innocent man in jail

I know right! Cop was so lazy and irresponsible

@Ivens Pinheiro Ivens Yeah man. Not to mention the very first investigation they did where they hadn’t teamed up with law enforcement yet so they just... let the guys go after the interview. I can’t even watch that one, knowing they all just skip home free.

My point in the original comment is that you can see how people in very serious trouble think they can talk themselves out of it haha

@김치  as with most things, there is always a pre-established 'not all' -- because we know that not /all/ cops are bad, but the vast majority (and the ones that have the most impact) are. :)

@LunatheMoonDragon And a lot of them did. That program screwed a lot of investigations and caused a lot of guilty sex offenders to go free

He already knew he was innocent from the start. His job was just to get a confession. The person they were chasing got away, so they had to grab somebody and try to make the charge stick to cover the incompetence. They thought the first person they saw would do. I'm genuinely surprised they got in trouble/demoted for it though, maybe there is some justice in the world.

That POS cop wasn't interested in the truth.  Just self gain

@usernamesrlamo fix the problem then. Apply to be a cop and choose to be a better one, the problem won't fix itself.

@ANDY VAN KERKHOVE even worse, they use this as a pressure point... talk to us and you can go home so you dont lose your job. alot peops said they did it, because of a promise to be able to go home untill court day

Problem is cops are generally the bottom of the intelligence barrel. Hairstylists have to have more rigorous training, aptitude and test taking than cops. The profession is a joke.

@Cameron Nesbitt just because they are required to have cameras doesn't mean that the camera actually works. Granted the investigator, who is different from the police on the street, and I believe in Canada different from the interrogator, could have and should have done a better job. However as I understand it to save money the Canadian police often don't even assign an investigator until they tried for a confession. Interestingly enough, from what I am told Canadian interrogators, are allowed to lie and make false promises, further your interview is only admissible in court to be used against you, and you are not allowed to use it in your defense. It seems that there is no benefit whatsoever to talking to them in Canada.

@Vidar D In Canada, busses always have cameras on the dashboard pointed back into the bus in case there are crimes being committed. All it would've taken was for them to get the footage from the bus and it would've cleared him immediately, but the guy simply wanted brownie points and getting an innocent black man to confess to a crime he never did for the singular reason he was black.

@ANDY VAN KERKHOVE How about stop putting everyone in the collective like the media does with racial identity. I'm sick of lies like this, how the hell am I Scott free then despite all the times they caught me drinking in public? Because I ain't an asshole.

The man in the uniform that's under constant surveillance, I wanted to be one of those guys ironically. Yet you normalize the collective hatred.

@ANDY VAN KERKHOVE This was the FIRST interview, so they were following a script they use on absolutely everyone they bring in. They follow that script no matter what the suspect says.

@Sugar Edwards what are you talking about? I got to a traditional church that isn't vatican 2 so that isn't even my church

@Mariama-Lola Bah please say God with reverence

@ConManliness sorry buddy, it's too late to make your case now, the footage of your arrest has been up for years now.

@LunatheMoonDragon except they didn't drive to a minor's house.

@Vidar D haha Oh this is so good. I love your comment. I completely agree with you and that's exactly what happened. So histerical to read it like that. 😂👍

The call wasn't the tell. The fake footage was the tell.
We have security footage.
Great!
Of you.
Excellent! Then you know it wasn't me!
Commiting the crime.
Wait... But if you have footage of me you know I didn't do it.
Nope I saw you do it on the footage.
But... That doesn't make sense... Are you bluffing me?
Notice that he never even denied being on the film, didn't say it was someone else, didn't say the film was a lie, he assumed that the film must be true, and being true it either proved his innocence or did not exist.

That means nothing. You should watch the interrogations of the pedophiles caught in the old To Catch a Predator stings. Almost all of the mask if they should be calling their work the next day to let them know they won't be in. They all expect a little slap on the wrist and to be released that night ,despite driving to a minor's house to have sex with them.

peeny wallie I’m not a criminal and I can completely agree with their statement.

They dont even hear that.. they dont care at all.. you and me find this important but cops dont... they just see a guilty person and want a confession..


"I have tried everything in my power to stay out of this penitentiary."<br>So our system worked for this guy... Hey what system did he get incarcerated in I wanna live in that county just in case

"I have tried everything in my power to stay out of this penitentiary."
So our system worked for this guy... Hey what system did he get incarcerated in I wanna live in that county just in case


The most important thing to remember is even if you truly have done nothing.  If the police want to bring you in to talk, keep your mouth shut and demand to have your lawyer present.  Even if the police are acting like you can help them solve a crime, shut up and lawyer up.


I feel like the reason neither of these guys lawyered up right away was because they thought it would make them look guilty. There are so many crime shows that reinforce the idea only the guilty hide behind legal protection, but as we've seen, even the guilty are hesitant to request attorneys.


Every now and then I re-watch this video to re-invigor my hatred of police. Never trust pigs. I'm glad he got a bit of Justice


This guy is unbelievably calm and respectful. I can’t believe they didn’t even look into his alibi

@Droomzy Zonk Fully agree. That clown of an investigator got caught in an undeniable lie, by a suspect! And the way he petulantly doubled down on his stupid bluff after already having been caught out, betrays his immense insecurity. That investigator was the only guilty person in that room at that time, and it's so great that we have cold hard evidence in the form of an ACTUAL video, not a fictional one :D

@L G an alibi is proof from a person or camera that confirms where the person was and what they were doing. Like if he was in a different area on the phone his phone records would show the person wasn’t near the crime scene. Or if he’s on a camera getting off the bus and not running through the alley

Cops see black man in area of a crime, they believe he's guilty.

@nutsforstrongbones in some countries, once you've been imprisoned, its illegal to say otherwise even if you were innocent. That alone is enough to cause someone a world of torment. I don't think 46k$ is lucky, its but a mere compensation for future life problems.

Some people have chart to follow in case of following alibi.

The chart:

Are you white?

- No, well, freedom is not meant for everyone. And you are guilty till being innocent incidentally.

- Yes, well, freedom is meant for everyone. And you are innocent till being guilty incidentally.

@L G if the cops ask you “where were you at this time) and you say for example “I was with my friend Jack” now that is your alabi

Your alabi is you were with Jack and Jack has to prove that

i mean he got 46000 buckaroonies out of that, id say its almost lucky

@Jordan This amazing joke has been extremely UNDER LIKED. Fantastic because this occurs in Canada.

if he would’ve acted as the other dude, they would’ve deemed him as an unruly black male and resistant to arrest. it would’ve been a worse outcome for him.

@Droomzy Zonk cause it is his job to get an arrest & prossecution & he was the oly suspect.  that i the problem with the system.  Arrest, prosecution = money = promotion etc.  they don't care if your innocent, all they care about it getting a conviction.

@L G Alibi= He can tell exactly where he was and what he was doing before, during and after the time of the crime, and with whom, in case he was not on his own.

@L G Literally taken, it's Latin for "somewhere else" - so it's a piece of evidence showing you could not have perpetrated a crime, because you were somewhere else.

yeah a man responding to the bluff "we have the incident on video camera" with "great, that's relieving!" should definitely at least have gotten a reaction out of the investigator. but he was so smug & arrogant about Michael's guilt that he didn't even second guess the "suspect" he had in front of him. I can especially only imagine how little he'd have investigated if he were one of the arresting officers AND then the interrogating officer, because no way in HELL he'd have second guessed himself making a mistake.

@L G evidence/proof of his innocence<br>like when he told the officer to ask the bus driver about him being on that bus, that was his ‘alibi’.

This isn't so much hindsight, as it is actual experience. By which i mean, the second man has already been through the justice system. I'm sure Jim meant the hindsight to know they're both innocent. But the juxtaposed reactions are entirely due to a difference in personalities and of course the aforementioned prior experience...

never say anything to the cops without a lawyer.
You aren’t trained to deal with such situations. They’re trained to get people convicted.
You need someone trained to protect your rights.
Whether you did anything or not, this remains true.

What you're seeing there is simply two people falsely accused who have totally different personalities. That's why the reactions are different! One who takes absolutely no shit from being falsely accused and gets emotional about it, to the other who takes the shit but calmly rejects it. Both innocent, but with two totally different expressions. That's why you can never judge too quickly, as we are all different. The interrogators have a tough job without a doubt, but obviously they need to be very careful before making hasty judgements.


Personally the moment an officer accused me of something I didn't do, I'd exercise my right to silence. If his mind is already set up, I don't see any point in discussing anything.


a mistake like this is literally unforgiveable, you can't "blunder" around when your putting someone's entire life at risk. Getting demoted should've been the least of his problems.

@Water Pidez yeah he should be held accountable still, thats a life wasted, 1 guy gets to slap his woman on the ass and scratch the dogs head, and the other guy is layin on a bunk with no resources to help himself out of a fucked up situation.. Nah. Thats not acceptable.

@viraticwars if he does his best to solve the situation truthfully and he gets it wrong, it shouldnt be on him

@Daniel Kelleher im not talking about intentional errors, im talking about what the original commenter said, "blunder", which is not intentional. I do agree if its intentional a detective deserves higher punishment then being fired.

Some of these dudes dont give a damn..their job is to close the case, get a admission, or get a conviction.. If proven to have falsified evidence just to close the case that detective deserves to serve just as much time as the wrongly convicted guy... Its only fair.

@Water Pidez Because a Detective can destroy someone's life.

I was legit just saying that I'm already not the forgiving type but I'd damn sure be fighting to make sure everyone who was a part of that investigation was terminated.

It's not a mistake, it's a deliberate tactic.

Do you want to talk/learn about God and Jesus? God and Jesus both love you and can help you with whatever you may be going through

They arent intentionally trying to cause innocent people problems.... they're trying to trick guilty people into confessing.  Thats part of fighting crime.

If youre saying they should only trick guilty ones..... i mean they're not mind readers yeah.

The instant someone shows that they are biased or let their friends off or make up their minds on anything other than hard evidence they cannot continue to be a police officer.

Yeah, working for the police is one job but were you literally have to have superhuman intelligence and moralities. There is absolutely not any room for normal human error Or selfishness or other vices in the slightest in that job.

I agree. He should have been fired.

Although, to be fair, I would volunteer to spend 3 days in jail if it got me almost $50,000 in punitive damages. Fastest 50k of my life.

@Water Pidez my job involves managing hotel operations. If i make unintentional errors, guests are inconvenienced, or certain codes could be violated like cleanliness or private information disbursement. I would be written up or lose my job depending on the severity and my disciplinary history.

 If I make an intentional error, hotel or guest property could be stolen, guest safety can be jeopardized, I could commit reward program fraud, etc. I would lose my job, AND face potential criminal punishment.

PLEASE, do not act like an investigator lying about evidence trying to ruin someone's life is simply making a mistake at a job. This innocent man could've lost his own job, or accidentally said something incriminating leading him to jail or prison, and this douchebag wouldve laughed about it at the water cooler the next day. This is inexcusable, and absolutely criminal in nature, just like if I were to intentionally err at my job jeopardizing someone's safety.

I mean if a detective makes errors like these he deserves to be fired but I dont see why he should deserve more, I dont see why the detective also has to risk a lot to do his job


Always and I mean always ask for a lawyer !  Being 1000 percent innocent will still get you locked up.  Smdh


If someone is convinced of guilt before the interrogation. The detective should be fired immediately. You cannot just assume that someone is guilty because they were on scene.


Keep in mind — Michael’s arrest occurred on the night of a province wide power outage, most commonly known today as the: ‘Northeast blackout of 2003’ Hamilton’s power was restored on August 16, 2003. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003


Understand that once you've been arrested for something there isn't any question of your being inocent or not guilty. There is no point at which you can persuade the cops of anything other than you did it. You can say you're not guilty a million times and guilty only once.  Anything in your favor will be attacked and discredited and anything that looks bad will be strengthened. Regardless of what you say or do or act like it will be twisted into a narrative that shows you as guilty. Don't show emotion and you're guilty of the crime. Show emotion and it's portrayed as to much a and an act. Things that you do that imply innocence will be disregarded or flipped into something off the opposite. Even exercising your right to not answer questions is looked at as negative. In England is worse they even state that if you don't mention something that you might use later in court that it's looked down on.


Man just imagine how many innocents souls have died without proving their innocence

The prisons in my country are congested and loaded with remands who have yet to be tried in court, like those jails in Brazil and Mexico. It sickens and angers me that some of them will probably be dead in jail due to subhuman conditions before they even present their case before a judge. While the justice system in the US isn't perfect, at least the country has an efficient judiciary and they have better prison conditions.

Yep! And I’ve gotten guilty confessions out of innocent ppl, too... some ppl I knew were innocent. I was just doing my job

Hundreds of thousand's of people is sad :/

Hundreds of thousand's of people is sad :/

Our VP has put many proven innocent people in jail, they made a mural of all the people she wrongly sent to prison into a charactor of her face. But the past doesn't matter I guess until it does?

There are so many Americans brainwashed that it's impossible for an innocent person to be found guilty in our court system. Even lots of judges and cops believe it. We're a fundamentally broken state

probably quite a few before the adn test  (80-90)

probably quite a few before the adn test  (80-90)

That's why due process and innocence until proven guilty is enshrined in the constitution.

@Sasha Ozerov
I dunno exactly how many. But yes, there have been people wrongly executed.
Thats one of the reasons iM anti capital punishment. BUT Im also pro capital punishment too.
Capital punishment is the only topic im split 50/50 on.

I think about it too often. Thats the ultimate nightmare.

Throughout History? Just think about how many women were accused of being witches and then burned alive. I mean, how can you prove someone is a witch?

@ITILII Actual presumption of innocence is almost non-existent.

Many innocent were lost in the system without even getting any true justice

Even when the innocent have proved their innocence, sometimes (I mean most of the time) the damage has been done and their future are already ruined.

@Sasha Ozerov <br>What do you mean? Have you seen the 18’s 19’s? It’s insane.

@Sasha Ozerov Criminal Psychology started being applied in the field fairly recently, most probably 1975 so till then i believe yea innocent people died

I just noticed after watching the Chris Watts interrogation for the 50th time he's got a little bit of a speech impediment to where on words with an S towards the end of the word it sounds like a duck like Donald Duck

Got that all backwards and Wrong, my friend ! NO ONE has to PROVE INNOCENCE, since there is Presumption of Innocence! The STATE has to PROVE your Guilt !!!!!!!!!

In the US the rate of innocent people sentenced to death (and executed) is about 4%. Since the death penalty was reinstalled in 1976 about 8000 people have been sentenced to death and about 1600 were executed. About one innocent person per year is executed in the US.

@Joshua Murphy ying and yang bro we will never be one

@Joshua Murphy ying and yang bro we will never be one

man...just imagine how many people out of the 2 million sub's to this channel used the advice provided to get out of a crime or conviction...laughable.

@MaanSelene Tbh, it's just that the system serves certain classes and heavily discriminates against others. And so I don't want anything to do with an evil, oppressive piece of state machinery. Because even advising them has a bad connotation. They then claim they did a fair and broad public consultation but the truth is that is never the driver in any change, but the veneer of legitimacy.

That's why one should always, ALWAYS, oppose the death penalty. Not because you're afraid a person that's guilty of a heinous crime doesn't get punished, but because you're afraid an innocent person might.

@daarzim You must be joking. The reality of the state is not what the media show.

@daarzim There have been many people who were wrongfully convicted and received the death penalty in the US. 20 have been release from death row since 1992.

@daarzim I don’t think that’s true. Many interviewed executioners have said they think they’ve executed innocent men based on lack of evidence. I don’t think that would be a common thought if all death sentences were put in place with 100% guarantee

Its a serious problem. In US the REID interrogation method is used which causes false confessions, while countries like the UK uses the PEACE method.

@Donald Garretson <br>Which is the reason I am absolutely and completely opposed to capital punishment. Not that certain crimes aren't deserving of it, but because the legal system is administered by human beings. Human beings are fallible. Any situation with an outcome as final as capital punishment cannot be permitted to have any permissible fallibility.

@daarzim  you lose 20 years of your life and the crooked cop that locked you up gets a promotion.

In the United States there are a fee thousand innocent people serving sentences.<br>People who have been put to death by the state who are innocent are a fee dozen but I'm sure there's much more.

@Sasha Ozerov wym not sure about died, people die In prison without proving there innocence

Yes, there have been a number of innocent people put to death for a crime they did not commit. You also have people imprisoned as a criminal offense because they acted out of fear.
The thing about psychology is it is totally subject to the interpreter's perception and views. The fact the guy lied about knowing the girl at first makes it seem like he is guilty, in then jumping to a conclusion conspiracy against him is a sign of deflection because of guilt. Regardless of guilt or innocence, his reactions are solely the fear of going back to jail and he is freaking out about the thought of it. He would act the same way even if he was guilty.
The other guy's lack of animation of pleading his innocence with the threat of being put in jail right then could be seen as a resignation to being caught and going to jail for the crime he committed.
Physiological profiling is such a hit or miss science that we cannot make a standard test that would be at least 90% accurate to prevent bad cops, bad politicians, bad teachers or any other position from being into a job they could abuse.
Though the video starts off with some bs about societal views and the "accuracy" of certain reactions to things, it does show you how wrong the narrator's belief of "reading" people to determine if the are guilty or innocent is.

Not sure about "died" but yes, I know what you mean and it is a scary thought.

More than the people buying into this machine would like to admit.


How and why would an investigator even attempt to get away with framing someone?!


I'm sure that this is a tough, demanding job but I can't see a difference between this liar cop and a conman


This reminds me 10 years back , I got locked up in jail till midnight, when I had a go at the police officer for accusing me  doing something wrong. lol


3:15 anomaly my ass. Some of us still got respect for an offical attempying to do his job regardless if one disagrees with the methods both verbaly and physical.


I’m glad all the investigators got demoted. They were SO wrong. Jeez he was treated so badly.

Found the truth is really glad one but one imperfect step still have consequences. Damn Canada looks so Strict for their rules.

@💕 Bunny 💕 exactly. Like I seriously don’t understand his point. “This treatment is not bad, 3rd world countries are worse”

Is it just impossible to have 2 bad situations? Just because one is worse does not justify the other??

@Houssem Maiza this is bad treatment. Doesn’t matter if other countries have worse treatment, I couldn’t give 2 shits, all that means is that this guy and third world countries BOTH have bad treatment. Your point is literally completely, well, pointless

@💕 Bunny 💕 Thats an amazing way to put it

Very badly. The pride these “officers “ had was funny

Yes, the detective lied to that calm plack gentleman saying we have you on video. I don't think that is fair.

He got 46k for 3 days in jail. They got demoted to a role where they do not have the power to do this.
A demotion as well as unpaid suspension definitely effected them financially, as well as put them in a position where they can be fired or demoted easier. Not saying it’s “justice” but at least they definitely had their lives changed in a negative way.
The problem is police unions.

oh yeah he's in big trouble. This interrogation method has been illegal in Canada.

I wonder if people above that officer TOLD him they had the right guy and for him to wrap it up and then took the punishment instead of those higher up

@Houssem Maiza but we aren’t in a third world country

@ChanCeNecK Yeah Michael is what we all wish we could be, and Justin is what most of us would be.

@LA Endurance Dad 100%. "trying to get a promotion, so didn't look at prior evidence." Uh, yeah, he should be fired and jailed.

I'm glad he got paid too, 3 and a half days in prison when he's done nothing wrong is terrifying. He must be traumatised. And he was so lovely throughout the entire thing...

You know, I REALLY wanna be more like that Michael type, but I´m much rather more like that Justin type...

@Houssem Maiza This video shows bad treatment; what you're talking about is cruel and inhumane treatment. Just because the video could be worse doesn't mean that what happened is acceptable.

@Houssem Maiza yeah in the US anyway we are too busy worried about other nonsense then consider how well we are doing. Best of luck if you are in a poorer country.

You really don't know how bad treatment looks like in third world countries

I think their punishment should be in proportion to the harm they cause.

shouldnt be doing there jobs at all imo after this


I hope Michael went for that public speaking position after realizing how well he can handle the pressure.


I love how this ends, because it was infuriating to watch.


Rule#1 Never trust a cop<br>Rule #2 Remain silent and get a lawyer to hash it out.  No matter..  know your rights.

Rule#1 Never trust a cop
Rule #2 Remain silent and get a lawyer to hash it out.  No matter..  know your rights.


it should be illegal for a detective to lie to a suspect about having hard evidence (i.e. video evidence) against them. Video evidence.. audio.. or whatever would not require a confession from the accused. Its an absolute joke.
