Short funny

[Graham]

Don't ask me about the veracity of this, but it's funny anyway...


"Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine.

The message "He's lying" was placed in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed."


Life is tough. It's tougher if you're stupid.

Why an unloaded gun brad? Wouldn't seeing you slowly insert the bullets one by one have made your threat more effective and intimidating? At any rate I highly recommend that you load your weapons for reasons of personal security.

When I took criminal procedure in law school, something like the was discussed (on one of the few days I attended). Anyway, such ploy rendered two confessions from two separate suspects. The confessions were ruled out as they violated the suspects' Constitutional rights.

Maybe someone knows more about this, but I remember in my case notes, there were many similar examples.

they told me it was an old machine!! what could i do?

[baggins]

i'm curious as to what part of the Constitution this violates?

it seems to me that their bluff worked, and the guy folded.
