Former FBI Agent Breaks Down Interrogation Techniques | WIRED
Former FBI agent and body language expert Joe Navarro breaks down how he approached interrogating during his time with the FBI. Joe sets the record straight; there is no simple way to tell if a human being is lying. When looking for deceit, Joe focuses on the subject's discomfort. He also does is best to make sure the subject feels comfortable enough to open up...a far cry from the images we see in many police procedurals.

exactly. the gulf between constructive and panicky stress is larger than any a ship can cross through.
Finally, Introverts can rest easy knowing that simply avoiding eye contact isn't enough to automatically make you a liar.
I know that, the problem is that other people don't.
Hmm, I’m very much an introvert, what with being totally happy living with just my cat. I prefer being alone mostly though social contact in controlled amounts is necessary. But prolonged social contact wears me down and I eventually need time to “recharge” alone. I know full well though that I’ve trained myself well that I can pass myself off as “normal” and able to follow social cues like eye contact but it took me years of training and practice.

Finally a professional admitting that coughing or touching your body when you’re being interrogated doesn’t automatically mean you’re lying. I can’t believe how many idiots believe that. As someone that’s taking the polygraph to get a law enforcement job I can tell you you were going to be stressed and acting very odd when you have two people questioning you and wires strapped to your chest.
yea. like that one time, I told them I had no covid symptoms and then they said my coughing gave me away as a liar. So mean!
I have told the truth to people and they didn't believe me and said sarcastically "Yeah that is believable" it is frustrating to not be trusted.

This man seems to be genuinely committed to ethical, science-based policing. I wish everyone in law enforcement was like this man.
i think some police departments are still paying psychics to find bodies
You'd be foolish to believe that. His tactics for conducting the interview/interrogation are irrelevant. At the end of the day he is not on your side and his only goal is to make you comfortable enough to talk and, maybe, inadvertently incriminate yourself. Remember, you can't say anything positive to your case in an interview. It's not admissable evidence in court.
He is there to capture spies, not falsely accuse suspects.
I like his peraonality
@@davidspear9790 I agree with the OP. He seemed more interested in getting the truth than just a conviction. You're right about your own interrogation being hearsay and inadmissible in court to help you. And you're right, if anyone in law enforcement - including this guy - ever asks you for an interview, your answer should be "not without my lawyer present."
Imagine being such a horrible person that people would rather die than keep talking to you

alot of people have fear of authority for good reason its horrible what they do to innocent bystanders just to close a case
Your name and profile sure hint it
and honestly, just having police appear and talk to me has me immediately thinking "either im near a place where something bad happened, i was at a place where something bad happened, or someone i know was involved in something bad that happened" so yeah im kinda stressed! WHO DIED DAMMIT, HOW CLOSE WAS I TO DEATH'S DOOR?
The fact the any sort of authority is completely void of understanding that many people are are ND, mainly people on the spectrum, are not gonna act in a way that they deem ‘normal.’ The fact that my behaviors as a ND person has been used against me as a ‘liar’ and ‘deceptive’ by anybody is a position of power/authority is disgusting.

Anyone here who's a writer, actor, filmmaker etc, I highly recommend you pick up this guy's book. I bought it years ago during the research phase for a novel, and it's probably the resource I've recommended to the most people. It's full of examples and photos of behaviours which can be applied to any kind of interaction to complement the dialogue with accurate movements consistent with the characters' moods and motives.
As a filmmaker, I was actually thinking how useful this knowledge of human behavior would be
That’s a really good idea. Heck, I’m interested just for the sake of interacting with people with greater awareness and intentionality. It’d be powerful in the hands of a storyteller.
Which one? Thank you!
Which one is it?
What every body is saying :)
Questioning someone with so much pressure that they admit to a crime they didn't commit is a horrible tactic if you want to find the person who did it. But it is a wonderfully successful tactic if all you want is to convict *anyone* for the crime, even if they aren't guilty. Sadly, cops are rewarded for convictions alone, and not for convictions of the guilty party. That is why the "pressure them until they confess" tactic is still in use. They want to clear case loads, not find the guilty party.
Sad but true.
There’s a film that I’ve watched called “in the name of the father” and it’s a true story about someone that this happened to. It really is sad and pathetic that cops still do it
Same thing as the prosecutor that brags about conviction rate
Or they keep litigating your case till you are bankrupted and have no other options. Or extort you by threatening your entire family.
How, pray tell, should we distinguish whether convictions are convictions of the guilty party or not? Perhaps we should assemble a group of impartial people to assess the evidence levied against the accused and decide on their guilt? Might that be a more acceptable method? Then we could reward cops only for those convictions that this panel of individuals deems to actually be the guilty party. Oh, wait, I forgot that's exactly how we do it now. Well I'm stymied. Perhaps you can offer some better suggestions, because I have none.

"Interviews" with threats and "psychological pressure" are no better than torture. Torture is an effective way to get a confession, but it is not the way to find the truth.
kzhead.info/sun/n7uThZeoh4yNnJ8/bejne.html&ab_channel=Movieclips
Actually that's not entirely accurate (about torture). You just need to ask questions that you can validate if he tells you something. If he lies. Rinse and repeat. Source. A serb that was in the Serbian special forces / rangers. Although how much that is true idk. But it sounds not completely unreasonable.
@@musashi939 i think traditional torture is horrible don't think I could take it long before cracking but what would break me with just the threat is mutalation or maiming. I'm not loosing no bodypart for a cause
@@jokermaness true. Not trying to condone it, he actually disturbed me with that story a bit since I consider him a friend. But I guess, when you grow up in that time, in that country, you gotta do what you're told or Tito makes you disappear too.
This is such nonsense. Of course it makes no sense to get a confession via torture. That doesn't mean you can't force someone to reveal information you know they have. If you steal and hide away my pen, I can twist your arm to get the information where the pen is. That's not advanced psychology, that's just plain common sense.
As a screenwriter myself, I am absolutely taking notes here.
These behaviors you describe as often being indicative of psychological discomfort are literally just my regular habits. I bite the skin off my lip, rub my hands together, play with my facial hair, etc., almost non-stop lol. Guess today I learned I'm perpetually in a state of discomfort.
That's stimming and it's a sign of autism or some anxiety disorder. If is an anxiety disorder then yes, your are constantly worried about something but if it is autism then it's because you are trying to do sensory regulation to be able to concentrate better on a particular stimulus that you are interested in and to not be overwhelmed by the constant stimuli that permeate our reality (because of an emotional reaction bigger than average to some of them)
It's so disheartening knowing that people have been coerced into giving a false confession for the only reason that the interrogation officer thought it would look good on their resume. Not only that but they are awarded and encouraged to do this. Like the fact that they are legally allowed to falsely claim that they have evidence of the suspect doing said crime during an interrogation in an attempt to pry a confession out of them is unbelievable.
It happens more than people realize and race doesn't have anything to do with it. It depends on the case and the one doing the interview.
@@lisaclark6977 race doesnt have anything to do with it? where was anyone bringing up race? Are you perhaps trying to push an agenda?
@@cia3058 absolutely not, but sounds like you are.
@@lisaclark6977 wtf are you talking abt XD
Well, if you tell someone you have evidence against them, 1 of 2 things will happen. 1. They'll crack and confess because they're guilty and think you have proof or 2. They'll realize you're lying because they didn't break the law and there's no way that evidence was discovered.

Yep. It's the same thing with a polygraph. It doesn't detect "lies", rather changes in blood pressure, heart rate etc. Things which can be considered indicative of deception. But not proof thereof. It's why they aren't used in trials.

This man's honesty is to be appreciated, especially when there are too many law enforcement agents whom would admit no flaw in their assessments of the suspect(s) during investigation. The fact remains that, as the agent says, there is no science behind an individual's physical expressions and behaviour and how they might actually be feeling or thinking. Our expressions are limited, where a singular expression could mean several different possibilities.

My bf got pulled over for a burned out taillight. He was so paniced and shakey the cop had to calm him down and even offered him a bottle of water. Looking back on it, my bf is a white straight male in a non violent rural small town area with very little racial tensions. Had he been a black man in a major city, he would have been search, cuffed anf potentially arrested (with subsequent resistance charges), and possibly shot for having anxiety. And this was years ago. We both acknowledged that if he had been black in a different area, he very well could have died over a taillight. All because distress signals are assumed guilt rather than what they are: stress. Edit: And of course that anxiety would be amplified in a black person because they are fully aware of the life threatening danger of being pulled over. Such a horrible situation.
@@clueless_cutie he wouldn’t just get shot lol 🤦♂️ the media makes people think that black people just get shot 😂 the only reason why people get shot is because they resist arrest

His voice is so relaxing and calming, I would probably confess all about my browsing history in a heartbeat
I love the background is so plain and simple and the only thing that sticks out and is easily readable is this guy book. you sell em slick.
28 STAB WOUNDS The guy: no that’s not..no
YOU WOULDNT GIVE HIM A CHANCE HUH?
This needs all the upvotes
*Dead Body Reported*
Haha convince then aproach the classic.
I was actually a victim of the part of him saying that people will just say they did the crime to get it over with I never did anything but they kept accusing me for hours I was fed up I just said I did it it haunts me every day luckily it didn’t get put on my record after the end of it all but it was a terrible situation and it’s very true and there are probably many people out there in prison for that same reason the justice system needs to be remade or rethought
Let's put that on the list of the who knows how many depressing law related things that need changing.
Jesus Christ dude I’m glad you didn’t get that on your record.
That's idiotic.
day after day been asked the same thing that's not Justice
@@ATGG no. It isn’t. It happens to a lot of people, because it’s what the police are trying to make them do
FBI: Hey, tell me about your name. Relax. CIA: I wanna play a game.
Wow, thank you for sharing, you are amazing!
One thing that always git’s me mad is that just because a person is nervous that means they’re lying if your getting questioned your going to be nervous it’s when there not nervous that people should pay attention because psychopaths have a reputation of being fearless
Gets.
The only thing you should EVER say in ANY interrogation is "I want a lawyer"!
Unless of course you’re the interrogator.
About number 2: What he said it's totally true that escalating a situation is not beneficial for anyone but that doesn't mean it's not done everyday. You can read news everyday about how cops keep escalating an interrogation to the point where they are basically pressuring/bullying/manipulating witnesses into false testimony or even false confessions.
Joe, I stumbled upon you and so happy I did. We worked together, Agent and typist. I am impressed with all your videos. Your content, such ease and so beautifully well done! I even learned a few things! If anyone could do this, it would have to be one of the most intelligent and engaging people I know on a professional level, Mr. Navarro. Thank you! It was a true delight and surprise to see you here. It’s a good day!!
First rule of talking to cops: DON'T! Only do what is compulsory, here, in this example - according to federal law Unfortunately in the US cops CAN lie to the person being interviewed/interrogated. It is not an offence for a cop to lie and doesn't matter if it's federal or state law. In the UK cop lying to the person which they have an encounter of any type this is breach of Code of Conduct, Code of Ethics, and some acts I cannot recall while writing this so BE THE SAFE MINORITY - DON'T TALK TO THE POLICE. YOU ARE NOT OBLIGED TO PROVE YOUR INNOCENCE, IT IS COPS' JOB TO PROVE YOU GUILTY. When Arrested YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT - this is VERY GOOD advice, USE IT!
When asked about your connection to the murder suspect, it says here you said: "I did [...] kill [...] that guy [...] with a [...] knife."
America is very broken. In many, MANY other countries, things are very different
A lot of questioning is happening when people are still witnesses! Watch some criminal psychology videos - youd be surprised how many murderers give themselves out before they are under arrest.
There were several occasions in highschool where I remember making a claim, which caused everyone to fall silent. I realized they didn't believe me, even though I was telling the truth. I asked "What?" I remember one specific example where the person next to me said "Your hands are shaking." I looked down, and sure enough I have my elbow on the table, spoon in hand, nearly vibrating. I hadn't slept that night and was running on a tall water bottle of coffee, which I never drink, and I'm pretty sure I was practicing my non-dominant hand as well. I defensively replied "They always do that." (Which is true) And then nervously tacked on some of the other reasons like not sleeping that exacerbated the shaking. Some of us don't have steady hands.

@@sawderf741 excellent pont
@@sawderf741 I strongly agree
@@sawderf741 how could you say something so controversial, yet so brave?
love how the subtly promote his book behind him
That book would have been propped up somewhere, no matter where this interview had taken place.
Body language and persuasion techniques within interrogation interviews are rather fascinating. I first heard of many of the eye positions, and other body languages when i was a teenager talking to a guy that was reading a book about all this, and it was so complex, but not very, very simple.... and I was very socially awkward, very much so.... so getting body cues, or using them, really helped.
The thing is, People, that NOT every Single Officer out there (Interrogating me/you) knows all this. No hate, I love L.E.O.'s, but it's the sad truth. You can't have ~almost~ 200 million Police Officers trained his way.... So yeah, all you here, learn these techniques, but since you aren't all of you Interrogating Officers, learn what NOT to do. Even if HE says that coughing or touching body parts doesn't mean you're lying/guilty, you can't be sure **your** officer knows that! So, keep all these in mind and DON'T DO THESE ACTIONS when/if you're being interrogated.!! This video works both ways.! He's such a smart and awesome dude..!
I feel that it would be quite simple to show a video like this some morning or afternoon
No do it we need prisoners
Just because someone has to think of a simple answer to a simple question doesn't mean anything either, I have to think for a second what my birthday is.
I would say it's more suspect if you could just rattle off answers like it was rehearsed
but if you done it recently you have a better chance of rememdering but that tactic is rather situational.
As I understood it it is not really about having to think, but about having to put in effort to think of something you do not know. Even if you really need to think to remember your birthday, it is different to making up some birthday. Because remembering something is different to makeing something up.
How do investigators deal with mental illness and disability? And if I am ever a witness or questioned can I get any sort of help? I tend to have meltdowns and go mute when people are angry near me.
So informative i love it!
The most important thing to remember. "I would like to my lawyer present before answering any more questions." If you were brought to the police station for questioning, you need a lawyer. They will either get you a lawyer or release you.
Or arrest you
@@joshfontenot3647 True. But that just means they were going to arrest you one they got everything out of you without a lawyer present, 10 hours down the road.
As an addict in recovery I was also an experianced deciever. The best of lies wouldn't fool even the most gullible of people without charisma. To get a person thinking " he doesn't seem like the type of person who would lie." And always stick to as much truth possible. Don't try explaining every detail to sound convincing but rather let that person make those connections themselves. I just hit 11 years clean and sober and that's actually the truth! Thanks to the Veterans Administration in Bedford Massachusetts!
Hi, just here to say congrats on getting sober. It’s no small feat. Hope you are continuing to do well!
I concur
I see what you did tgere
My husband always flares his nostrils when he is being deceptive. He usually admits it right away, probably because I screech, "AHA! Nostril flare, you're lying!" Then he laughs because he's caught out so easily.
This guy is the epitome of professionalism. He is stunning. His deserves a bravo. Very sincere. Unbelievable level.
He offers brilliant insight about 'experts' in deception missing the truth. When you look for evil, all you will see is evil.
