Blog Article/Post Caveat (Read First Please: Click the Link)
First, read this blog post then come back and continue this one.
This comes back to knowledge, understanding and awareness. If you find yourself in a self-fense situation after failing to deescalate and/or avoid the confrontation you may find yourself on the other end of a Police interview (please note that the change from helpful interviewing to a one-side agenda driven investigation is undetectable). You need to know and understand that what many professionals advise is, in my mind now, critical to your success in navigating and surviving the legal system.
Get to know about pre-suasion, compliance professions, and how the formation of words and questions can actually lead you to cognizant dissonance that leads to your actually believing things not true. Remember, once you pass that line and put it into words that are going to be “Documented, etc.” then retraction is going to be impossible due to the same cognizant dissonance of the legal system, i.e., the police; the prosecutor; your lawyer; the jurors and so on - good luck with that.
In interviews/interrogations regardless the professionals recommend you let them know you WILl cooperate and you WILL provide a statement but prudence dictates you do so after you contact your lawyer. You WILL do so in his or her presence so that this situation can be resolved to EVERYONE’s satisfaction (especially yours, like going free and not being under prosecution).
Now, go back and read the article again then read the set of books on compliance and persuasion. Not only will it benefit you in such stressful legal encounters but you will find that it also informs you of how often and how much such things effect your life every moment of every day.
p.s. did you know that apparently about 20% of the public will react strongly to such suggestion? Example is a quote from this very article that is backed by research, i.e., “If you are wondering how easily a group of humans can be thrown into the same hallucination, consider that half of Americans believes their country just elected a racist, homophobic, sexist and the other half thinks we elected an open-minded guy who is no more sexist than most people.”
Ain’t life just grand?
