Interrogation is a normal procedural action during which the investigator asks questions to establish all the circumstances involved in the case.
Who is the first time faced with the investigation, asks the question: “How to behave during interrogation? And, I must say, he is asked very opportunely, because from a witness by inexperience during interrogation you can easily turn into a suspect.
To avoid this, you should avoid the mistakes that many make. The main thing is to remember some simple rules, then you will not have problems, and during interrogation you will feel more confident.
10. It is better to be silent for a long time than to talk a lot
Whether or not to answer questions is up to you. Article 51 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation exempts a citizen from giving evidence that can be construed against him and his relatives.
At interrogation, say so: “I refuse to answer, referring to Article 51. I will speak only in the presence of my lawyer.”
You can be reassured or, on the contrary, intimidated, trying to draw words out of you - firmly stand your ground: “I will not answer” and that’s all.
Once in the investigator’s office, never start a conversation first.
9. No need to look in the eyes
If you are used to looking into the eyes of your friends and relatives for a long time, this does not mean that you can stand the stern investigator’s eyes on you.
As a rule, they look as if they already know everything, however, this is not so - just, working for a long time as investigators, their eyes managed to be well trained.
Their view, questions create discomfort in a person - this is what they achieve. A man must be afraid and confess everything.
Better not look the investigator in the eye unless you are confident in your stamina.
8. You can pause answers
If you are not hiding anything and are sure that your testimony will not turn against you, you can answer questions.
Only you should not rush to the answers - many make the big mistake that people do not pause in their testimonies, they talk a lot, in a hurry and not thinking over the information.
When pausing, pause - they may be long, but you have the right to stop. Here is an investigator - a person working for the state, that is, he serves the population.
Law enforcement agencies are obliged to protect their citizens and do their job well, you should not be rushed.
7. No need to ask
If the investigator “cuts” that you feel weaker than him and “lower”, you feel fear - obviously, nothing good will come of it.
Do not use the following phrases in a conversation: “Give, please,” “Permit me, please,” “Can I ...?”
Try not to ask for anything at all, but if you still need to do this, say differently: “Where can I get it?”, “What can I write on?”, “Can I call?” In no case do not be humiliated, but remain polite.
6. The handle will help calm down - take it in your hand
When you find yourself at the investigator’s table, you may feel very uncomfortable — you will want to end the situation more quickly and leave. At this stage, many make a mistake - they begin to say a lot of superfluous.
However, you need to try to calm down and pull yourself together. Think about something nice - for example, about whom you love, or what a pleasant evening awaits you today.
To calm down - take a pen in your hand and move it - the subject introduces the interlocutor into the microtrans, and you calm down by concentrating on it.
Do not fall for this technique yourself - if the investigator turns a pen in his hand - look at the floor, walls, hum your favorite tune in your mind, but do not focus on what the civil service worker does.
5. Do not be afraid
If you find yourself in an interrogation, most likely government officials need to get something from you. Inexperienced and illiterate people in jurisprudence who do not know about their rights can easily be fooled - do not give in to any tricks.
If you have not read about your rights and do not understand anything in the legislation of the Russian Federation, just keep quiet, do not be afraid or answer briefly in essence that which will not do you any harm.
Remember - you will always have time to write a confession, but in order to refuse it later, you will have to work hard. Do not try to enter into discussions or lead rhetorical questions - answer strictly and briefly to the questions that are asked: "Yes", "No", "I do not remember."
4. Do not give in to pressure
The investigator does not think about you and your life, for him the main thing is to solve the crime, he thinks about himself and his work. Therefore, he can manipulate your fears, promising that if you confess - they will let you go home or reduce your sentence - this is a trap for you to confess.
Even if you are to blame for something - this still needs to be proved. In addition, you, as a suspect, have the right to remain silent and speak only in the presence of your lawyer. Do not confess or see seductive offers.
3. Answer questions evasively
The more information you give to the investigator, the more likely he is to link what you have said into a chain and make any conclusion that may be against you.
Evade when the investigator asks you questions, answer short ones: “I don’t remember,” “I don’t know,” “I definitely can’t answer your question,” etc. A civil service worker expects a detailed answer from you - do not give him what he wants.
2. You may be scared - stay steadfast
Almost everyone splits on this test, because no one wants to become the bedding of their cellmate or dive into the bucket with his head. You can be scared by putting them in a criminal cell, in a pre-trial detention center.
Stay steadfast, if you suspect law enforcement agencies of violating the law - write a complaint to the prosecutor.
Even if it turns out that you are mistaken, it’s very nerve-wracking for the police, and you won’t lose anything.
1. If something happens - pretend to be unhealthy
Indicate that you have poor health, if you know how to play well - lose consciousness. Law enforcement will have no choice but to send you to the hospital — it's better than spending the night in a cell.
Some people are born to be actors, and if you come across a heart investigator, then he will help you. The case may not even reach the court.
