13: The Dirty Liars

Since 1969, the police have been legally allowed to lie to you. Yes, you. About anything. Anywhere and everywhere. And they do. All the time. One of their favorite tricks is to use the “false evidence ploy” to convince you to take a lesser guilty plea instead of risking a trial. Despite millions of guilty pleas entered in this country based on deception and misinformation, the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that it is okay for cops to be dirty liars. Reb teaches you when and how to shut your mouth as she runs through Frazier v. Cupp, Miranda v. Arizona, the "Interrogation Bible" used to train cops in the US, and the rights everyone should know how to exercise.
