Don't Talk to the Police

This popped up on Google Videos last night and I thought it was quite interesting.  This is a lecture given by a former criminal defense attorney who is now a law professor and a former police officer who is now finishing his third year of law school.  

Basically, they both explain how based upon the 5th Amendment, it is never in your benefit to talk to the police without immunity.  In the former police officer's segment of the lecture, he describes cases in which talking to the police have led to people incriminating themselves as well as different interview (interrogation) techniques he uses (they are tricky).  Watch the videos but beware, Prof. James Duane talks like he's trying to set a record.
