7 more morally acceptable motivation or reason for the offense ‘you are charged with than that which is presumed. 7. In order to break an accused will to extract a confession a skilled interrogator will often sympathize with the suspect by (a) Condemning the victim; (b) Condemning any possible, or charged, accomplice suspects; or (c) Condemning anybody that any degree of moral responsibilty might conceivably be bestowed on for commission of the offense in question or already charged. 8. Interrogators fake understanding and sympathy 1o urge & subject to confess whie making some physical contact, pat on a hand or shoulder, gip of a hand often folowed by proclamations by the interrogator that if his mother, father, brother, sister, wife, child, girlfriend, gay lover, tc., was charged with the subject’s crime he would *..advise them 1o confess..’, "..speak (tl) the truth...” Inferrogators will often invoke moral concepts with phrases like "Confessing is the only decent and honorable thing to do." or "You should relieve your conscience and get it over with 50 you fel better... in low, sympathtic tones to attempt to establish an emotional ink with a subject, particularly with & person who has been subjected to several lengthy periods of intensive questioning and underwent an motional battering from continuous questioning most often with intarrogalorsperforming in “shits”. The infamous “Good Cop-Bad Cop" or friendyluntrendly routine is most often used after other tried techniques and ploys utilzing mock sympathy and understanding have proven ineffective 1o the dismay of Chief Inspector Impotent, Offcer Orifice or Detective Dinky Winky. Whoever hasnt seen this Mutt & Jeff routine used to death on television and in movies, please raise your hand? However, believe it or not, as sad as itis, these theatrics often work after a dullard s subjected to a prolonged pariod of psychological battering. Faling for this merits a groaned Duh!
8 9. A skilled interrogator often uses a ploy of pointing out the possibiity of exaggeration on the part of the acouser or victim or exaggerates the nature or seriousness of the offense charged in order to frighten a subject into making a “justiication statement” wherein they attempt to_explain away "what feally happened’ and thereby hopelessly incriminate themselves! This merits a double "Duh!"! 10. An interrogator will atempt to have a questioned person hypothetically place themselves at the scene of the crime, in some sort of contact with the victim o the ocourrence giving rise to the crime or crimes they are subjected o questioning about to gather information or attempt 1o have the person inadvertently make an admission of guilt through a slp of the tongue. 11. If @ person is naive enough to admit to being at the scene of a cime the interrogator wil watch for inconsistencies in the subject’s version of what happened by requesting repetitious teling of the subject’s story then point out discovered inconsistencies to seek admissions of lying about some incidental aspect of the occurrence or crime. Each such admission eicited from a subject makes the subject more psychologically susceptible to coughing up the “whole story". 12, An Interrogator wil often appeal to the subject’s ego and pride through wel selected flattery or a direct challengo to_honor thereby using against a subject, and capitalzing on, the basic human trat to seek and enjoy the approval of others as If predator and prey are in a normal socletal environment or setting. 13. The futility of resistance to telling the truth or confessing will be repeatedly pointed out during questioning. 14. A skillful interrogator will repeatedly point out to

character and knowedge of the tactcs used, techniques
employed and psychological pressures. Each one is
designed to eficit a response from the person on whom they

1. Theinterrogator displays confidence inthe guit of
the suspect vih an airof“Convince me ohernise?”

2 The questoner poinls out some, but by no
means al, of the circumstantil evidence indicative of a
‘subject's quit. This is a variation of ' know more than | am
‘saying and you are fucked f your story does not match what
Iknow." More often than not they know zip, nathing, and so

reman mute excepl for required personal identty
informaton. Protesatons of mocence only serve loopena

dalogue with questoners, ofen proving counterproducive o
theinterest of the accused.

18. The interogator begins a questoning session
by asking a subject to reate ll helshe knows about the
vitim and other possile suspecls leading up o questons
about the actual - incidentofiensalcrime. It ofen proves

more morally acceptable motivation or reason for the offense
‘you are charged with than that which is presumed.

7. In order to break an accused will to extract a
confession a skilled interrogator will often sympathize with
the suspect by (a) Condemning the victim; (b) Condemning
any possible, or charged, accomplice suspects; or (c)
Condemning anybody that any degree of moral responsibilty
might conceivably be bestowed on for commission of the
offense in question or already charged.

8. Interrogators fake understanding and sympathy
1o urge & subject to confess whie making some physical
contact, pat on a hand or shoulder, gip of a hand often
folowed by proclamations by the interrogator that if his
mother, father, brother, sister, wife, child, girlfriend, gay
lover, tc., was charged with the subject’s crime he would
*..advise them 1o confess..’, "..speak (tl) the truth...”
Inferrogators will often invoke moral concepts with phrases
like "Confessing is the only decent and honorable thing to
do." or "You should relieve your conscience and get it over
with 50 you fel better... in low, sympathtic tones to
attempt to establish an emotional ink with a subject,
particularly with & person who has been subjected to several
lengthy periods of intensive questioning and underwent an
motional battering from continuous questioning most often
with intarrogalorsperforming in “shits”. The infamous
“Good Cop-Bad Cop" or friendyluntrendly routine is most
often used after other tried techniques and ploys utilzing
mock sympathy and understanding have proven ineffective
1o the dismay of Chief Inspector Impotent, Offcer Orifice or
Detective Dinky Winky. Whoever hasnt seen this Mutt &
Jeff routine used to death on television and in movies, please
raise your hand? However, believe it or not, as sad as itis,
these theatrics often work after a dullard s subjected to a
prolonged pariod of psychological battering. Faling for this
merits a groaned Duh!

9. A skilled interrogator often uses a ploy of pointing
out the possibiity of exaggeration on the part of the acouser
or victim or exaggerates the nature or seriousness of the
offense charged in order to frighten a subject into making a
“justiication statement” wherein they attempt to_explain
away "what feally happened’ and thereby hopelessly
incriminate themselves! This merits a double "Duh!"!

10. An interrogator will atempt to have a questioned
person hypothetically place themselves at the scene of the
crime, in some sort of contact with the victim o the
ocourrence giving rise to the crime or crimes they are
subjected o questioning about to gather information or
attempt 1o have the person inadvertently make an admission
of guilt through a slp of the tongue.

11. If @ person is naive enough to admit to being at
the scene of a cime the interrogator wil watch for
inconsistencies in the subject's version of what happened by
requesting repetitious teling of the subject's story then point
out discovered inconsistencies to seek admissions of lying
about some incidental aspect of the occurrence or crime.
Each such admission eicited from a subject makes the
subject more psychologically susceptible to coughing up the
“whole story".

12, An Interrogator wil often appeal to the subject’s
ego and pride through wel selected flattery or a direct
challengo to_honor thereby using against a subject, and
capitalzing on, the basic human trat to seek and enjoy the
approval of others as If predator and prey are in a normal
socletal environment or setting.

13. The futility of resistance to telling the truth or
confessing will be repeatedly pointed out during questioning.

14. A skillful interrogator will repeatedly point out to
