you have to talk, "i invoke the fifth" is enough tho
@@justenoughrandomness8989informal questioning
@@David280GG just notice it
Invoke the 5th, then don't invoke the 6th, and then leave because you can leave any interrogation if you don't have a lawyer present. (Only works if you were interrogated by police but not in jail (by not being in it or bail paid). Anywhere else, good luck. You'll need it.)
I mean, TPE did upload one on torture methods a while back…
Don't speak until you have consulted a lawyer. Don't speak until you have consulted lawyer. Don't speak until you have consulted a lawyer.
Hey did we mention you shouldn’t speak until you have a lawyer?
Make sure you don't speak until you have a lawyer
(Side note: don’t speak until you have a lawyer)
To all of the people that might have thought about speaking before having a lawyer: Don't speak until you have a lawyer.

The Mr. Big technique just sounds like a 10 year waste of tax payer dollars to catch 1 little misdemeanor criminal
No wonder it's so popular in Canada lmao
Yeah that takes so much time you could film a literal documentary about it.
its like making team rocket irl but giovanni is just a battle of wits lol
Legitimately sounds like you're catching a criminal that you made, which is so fucked up
Canadian cops are bored, let them be
The first one could be a whole movie
I would so watch a movie with that as the premise
It would have a name like "The Spys"
No, it would probably have a name like "Mr. Big"
@@Ramkatt yeah obviously, idk why voltrix said that
@@Ramkatt or a name like 'entrapment' because that is what this is
I had no clue my country was pulling off hilarious shit like Mr. Big lol
I wish it was hilarious but it's been used to make criminals out of honest people who were in need of money or help. There is a well documented case where they made terrorists out of a couple who had no actual want for that (they were found guilty by jury, but no verdict was entered as judge found it was entrapment, case was appealed and the stay was upheld as the case was a "travesty of justice" according to one of the unanimous appeal judges.
@@firstsurvivor yeah, for real. After hearing the whole explanation, my only thought was "is this not just complicated entrapment?"
@@HunterHerbst Not only is it entrapment but thinking logically, almost everyone involved apart from the suspect is a criminal because they willingly have to run a criminal organization for the entrapment to work.
@@firstsurvivor I should clarify that I find it hilarious for its complicated nature and dress-up time but also because of its obvious entrapment. There are numerous ways this could go wrong, be a waste of time, or be genuinely harmful. I just found the absurdity of the whole thing to be funny.
@@firstsurvivor Mr. Big is a technique meant to get people to confess to major crimes they did PRIOR to the police getting involved. The police don't charge for crimes they made them do.
DONT TALK TO COPS WITHOUT A LAWYER

Remember kids, in an interrogation, the police are not your friends and they'll try to get a confession in whichever way is possible. Remain silent and get your lawyer involved. If they tell you that you'd be suspicious to ask that and no innocent person would do it, that's when you know they are not your friends.
If a cop ever says anything derogatory or implies anything regarding speaking with an attorney, their case is toast so that it almost wouldn’t matter, as that is a clearly established fifth amendment violation. Also, it’s important that people try to grasp when Miranda actually applies and the difference between detention and arrest. There is also a litany of established Supreme Court rulings involving providing certain demographic information (think asking for a license during a traffic stop). Though in the majority of cases you should ask for a lawyer, in some cases refusing to speak without a lawyer leads to far more headaches (ask any sovereign citizen wanna be). No reason to turn a petty ticket into a trip to jail or have the police smashing your car, because you thought (wrongly) you had a legal right to ignore them. The biggest tip generally is don’t break the law and you’ll never need to have all the ins and outs memorized.
try and stay silent when they use the 13th interrogation technique, the one no one admits to using
There are a lot of videos showing what not to do The trouble is most people will involuntary admit things Example Cop: so where you at the shop all night Person: no I swear I wasn't Cop: ok Person: yeah I was with Bobby and Lee on fifth having coffee Cop: I see .... *Writes down this information ( later on if it comes up and the person says something that contradicts this like.. oh yeah nah I forgot it wasnt Bobby it was Jake.. the person will look very bad in court for almost lying.. if the person has a good lawyer the lawyer will say it's circumstantial ... It could have been anyone at the coffee place it doesnt matter anyone who was involved was at the shop....but the damage is done for the persons credibility
@@SH-kz4fl "if you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear" could only come from someone who's never been at the pointy end of the police. Did you not notice how half of the methods in this very video had the caveat that they could easily scare the victim into false confessions.
if the police informally interview you, ask if you are under arrest. if the police formally interview you, ask for a lawyer.
Why?
@LumaSloth well in the first one they cant really continue effectively or at all and in the 2nd one well lawyers are way better at this stuff then you or me and can shut them down effectively (Someone fact check me please just incase)
"Am I free to leave?"
@@LumaSlothThe more words you volunteer in questioning, the more voluntary statements they get to use against you.
I would add to your first point to ask "am I under arrest and am I free to leave?" Cuz in my state at least there can be situations were you're not under arrest but you're not allowed to leave the scene without consequences. So make sure you're you're talking to cops, you hear them tell you that yes you are free to leave before you do so.
I like how in the Mr. Big technique you're basically making them the criminal then arrest them
Among of all the techniques I find this quite immoral. You're creating opportunities for people to turn into criminals, and maybe if it wasn't for this fake organisation, you would not have done anything illegal
They target people who already committed crimes. They're not making them into anything.
Look up the definition of entrapment, this isn’t that
@@Third_4 unless they are wrong
It’s literally entrapment and contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
The Mr. Big technique sounds like a good excuse for a lawyer to claim entrapment.
Except that entrapment laws have defined bars so difficult to reach to conclusively show entrapment that using it as a defense fails almost every time. I'd say this law in particular is there to appear that the system is fair, "cause you CAN claim entrapment, you see", without actually running the risk of making the system fair.
@@moron0000 Makes sense.
That is exactly one of the downfalls and a reason for contraversy. Its why not many other countries use it. To be honest I'm surprissed Canada still uses it at all. Or it may be one of those things cops used to do but now only say they still do to keep criminals on their toes and worried about joining organised crimes. I believe it is more preventative then actually used. However that is my assumption if anyone knows more they can feel free to correct me 😊
The PEACE technique just looks like how a normal human being would try to figure out what happened while treating the suspect like a human being
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Sounds more like a technique for getting info from witnesses than actual confessions.
Mr. Big sounds 100% like entrapment.
That's because Mr. Big is entrapment. It's just entrapment. There's no distinction; this would be illegal in the US.
-sounds 100% like- is just
Thats because it literally IS entrapment.
@@jacobp.2024Hasn’t stopped at least a handful of people being led on by CIA profiling operations that got some susceptible people who towed the line of interest about potential crimes into nearly committing those crimes, which was considered an effective admission of guilt as they were doing something harmful but in a situation where everyone involved couldn’t be hurt because they anticipated what was happening. Still entrapment, though.
No, it is not. Entrapment is police telling someone to commit a crime, then charging them for that crime. This is police telling someone to commit a crime to eventually get a confession to a previous, unrelated crime.
At first I thought Mr big was gonna just be bringing in the largest police officer to do the questioning and just be vaguely threatening lmao
caseoh walks into the interrogation room and threatens to eat the dude
The PEACE technique is basically most ace attorney cases. Instead of the interrogation room, it takes place in the court
Most of these can be mitigated by two things 1. Answer slowly or conceisely- for example with the technique that cuts you off and asks another question as you answer, simply stop talking as they ask the second question and when they stop asking then continue with your answer to the first question, only when YOU are finished do you move on 2. Get a lawyer, and just shut up, only speaking when your laweyer tells you to and saying exactly what you you need too and nothing more
#2 should be what you do first, regardless of how guilty you are. It allows you the ability to avoid a majority of these techniques because a good lawyer won't let them badger you, and they are there to keep you from incriminating yourself, whether true or false as to you actually commiting a crime.
Yes but skip #1 and go to #2. Even if you are 100% innocent, tell them you can't answer police questions without your lawyer present.
And to think Parents at least uses one of them to find out if their kid broke a glass
usually Mr. Big (if they're cool)
Mine use reid
DID YOU BREAK A GLASS no *softly... If your honest it's ok Ok I broke a glass I KNEW IT. JUST FOR LYING YOU GET M- you said be ho- 3 FOR INTERRUPTING
@@SuperBozz I fell for that once... little autistic me had not yet realised people could say things and then not follow up on them :( I was so confused
@@charlottebarham7722 is that the main condition affecting autistic people
Mr big would literally be illegal in Germany, since persuading someone to commit a crime is a crime itself. I mean what's the logic behind "We're gonna punish you for the crimes that we made you do"? That just sounds like individualized discrimination with extra steps
I think the same in my country, the USA, which is why Canadians can’t talk shit about our police system.
@@TheRepublicOfDixionconderogaAtleast our police aren’t a holes
@@TheRepublicOfDixionconderoga Canada has basically the same entrapment laws the US has.
They aren’t punishing them for the crimes they told them to do.
I assume they get around it by having the things they order not actually be crimes. E.g. transport "drugs" (that are actually mundane imitations) to a "buyer" (another undercover police officer). So the victim thinks they've committed a crime, which is enough to leverage the confession later, but no actual crime has taken place.
Regarding the "Reid Technique," it's a well-established method for obtaining confessions, but its efficacy is debatable due to the potential for false confessions, especially when applied without proper safeguards. Its accusatory nature and reliance on psychological manipulation necessitate caution in its application to avoid unjust outcomes.
Cops dont want you to know about this simple trick. You dont have to tell them a single thing
Shaggy do story. Tell them a really long winded and convoluted story that doesn't lead anywhere
That will just make you look suspicious
@@thegreatandmightyseff7214 There’s a reason they have to tell you “anything you say can and will be held against you.” Looking suspicious doesn’t hold up in court. Don’t talk to cops.
Quick tip, make sure you say "I invoke the 5th", or they can use silence against you.
@thegreatandmightyseff7214 but if you are innocent, then there's no issue. You can't be tried fir wasting police time as they brought you in
This is a useful video for getting out of potential imprisonment, whether you actually did anything illegal or not.

I feel like one day I’ll get interviewed for a crime I was a witness to and I’d accidentally get myself arrested, I’m just that bad at talking
Same. Especially with just how rotten the authorities in my country are. They don't care about capturing criminals, but only about setting someone to take the fall: Doesn't matter whether the one executed is the real killer or not, someone just has to die to appease the media; As long as I slip during an "interview" and they can use that as an "evidence" to incarcerate or execute me, I'll say bye-bye to this world. 😂
Yeah, thats why you just dont talk to police lol
One more I'll add thst I've seen used- The Jumpscare Technique The interregator asks a bunch of tedious/easy answers to lure a subject into a false sense of security before asking a really hard hitting question in a demanding/aggressive way. They're counting on that when you are suprised or startled you're going to answer more truthfully.
wtf the Mr big technique sounds like the most blatant form of entrapment ever
Yeah, why do people like Canada so much?
It’s not entrapment at all.

@@52flyingbicycles nope, American, I just know what entrapment actually means.
@@Loj84 “Action by law enforcement personnel to lead an otherwise innocent person to commit a crime, in order to arrest and prosecute that person for the crime.” That precisely describes the Mr Big strategy.

The goal is to get them to confess something else. Normally, they committed Crime A, and the actors convince them to do Crimes B, C, D, and E. That way, when they confess to Mr. Big, they confess all of the crimes they did, where they can be arrested from Crime A. The problem is that even if they did do that, it's hard to get a full confession from without feeding them information
crazy how much of these get represented in tv and media, deathnote, sherlock holmes and so many others have their interrogation techniques explained clearly and concisely.
The first one really seems like an ass backwards way to arrest someone
1:00 DARN DARN DARN DARNY DARN also remember, tell the cops nothing, tell the paramedics/docs everything (they're not allowed to tell the police bc of patient privacy laws, and they can't save you from a hard drug overdose if you don't tell them you've taken/been taking that drug)

Love these Great video

Hi, could you do negotiation techniques next?
Theres an entire jhon oliver episode on how the ried technique has no scientific basis and often causes false confessions by lieing to the suspect about evidence
Mr big made me recall a story I heard about a lady named Pauline Dakin, who’s mother would constantly and mysteriously move her around Canada as a kid, largely from influence of a pastor friend who became like a surrogate father. Later her mother told her that the reason for the weird childhood was because they were targets for a crime syndicate (her estranged father may have gotten involved in the mob and they wanted to clean loose ends) and that the government was secretly protecting them, and there were special places as part of the “weird world” where the mob is combated and targeted people are protected. Pauline later critically thought about it and engaged her mother and the pastor, and it turned out he was making it up and her mother was following along. Most likely a form of mental illness. Not a direct connection but I thought I’d share, it’s a very interesting story.

3:32 I just realized my school did this to me. I basically did some stuff on my computer and then they found out and was like "I think I know what happened go talk to the principal" with a very calming voice and stuff, and I said "ok" which practically admitted guilt.
nice video
This is pretty cool to watch while eating breakfast
me working at the police force, after much planning and preparation, as the fake boss of a pretend mafia that the suspect was part of, aggressively (after a fact analysis, a behaviour analysis, a period of time where i engaged with and explained to the suspect and then a period of time where i attacked their ego) interrogating them by asking for a full account of what happened (with loaded, accusatory questions that frame them as a much worse, more dangerous criminal) while making the crime they did look bad so that they'll confess for a comparatively smaller jail-time, taking long pauses between questions, and later asking follow-up questions and ensuring i understand what they said fully, while my colleague (who talks extremely quickly and will ask rapid-fire questions) acts calm and understanding (despite also being accusatory: they minimize how bad the crime seems) and uses 9 steps to make the aforementioned suspect gradually more comfortable with telling the truth when informally questioning the suspect (they'll repeat lots of my questions that i asked) (i'll evaluate this experience later)
Oh so big D used the PEACE technique with kevin Very cool
The Reid technique was used on me as a kid when I had some bad stuff happen with family that had happened
Topic- Every Investigation techniques from history to now
When i got arrested and they were investigating me, the guy got me with REID lmao
Honestly, it would be a good thing for the law if criminals who reject interrogations, when caught for their crimes, get an increased sentence. In the meantime, actually minimize the sentencing for convicts who agree to be honest during interrogations. Make lying during an interrogation if guilty an increased crime too. Ofcourse at the end of the day this is only going to work on criminals who are already suspects but I believe that it'd ultimately be a better strat than using the existing tactics, with the exception of REID and PEACE.
Some of these seem to be entrapment and a lot of them seem to directly lead to false confessions.
Mr. Big is entrapment.
No, it isn’t.
6:31 I know this is just a visual aid, but this is not a contradiction due to the nature of private sales.
Hey man, I really enjoyed your content, and I wanted to create a Portuguese version of it. Oh, and I'm not going to take your content and dub it; I'll model the format by making my own versions of the videos with my editing and voice. I would appreciate it if you could send a message approving that I do this. I'm asking because people usually get quite upset with copies, and even if I make the videos without using clips made by you, they'll still accuse me of stealing your idea or something. But if I have a message from you, it would really help. Oh, and one thing, if the text seems strange, it's because I used artificial intelligence to translate it into English since I don't master the language.
I feel like all of these would work on me apart from the Reid technique 😭 🙏

Mr Big worked in Australia to catch a serial killer who murdered a kid. The movie based off the true story is called “The Stranger”

The first one and the last one are just Entrapment
If you didn't laugh at the 2 words, Mister Big, you're a Rogue Planet
I am enlightened.
Is Mr. Big not a more complex version of entrapment?
Don’t ever forget about enhanced interrogation techniques.
Canada just entrapping people
Full trap mode with entrapment rap beat
Kinda scary to think that some people might be so scared by some of these techniques they just falsely confess to try and avoid going to jail for their lives. Like, how many people chose 5 years over 20 even though they deserved 0?
Remember: if a police officer is interviewing you, ask one of two things Informally: "am i under arrest" Formally: "can i call my lawyer"
There is another one. The "enchanced" technique.
