Don't talk to the police

As if anyone needed to be told any more reasons not to talk to the 5-0, this video of James Duane, apparently a Regent law professor and big supporter of the 5th amendment, gives them to you. The video appears to be a taped lecture at the law school and, as such, is pretty long (on the order of 50 minute or so). The first 20 minutes is Dr Duane speaking as to why he, a defense lawyer, among many others, recommends NEVER speaking to the police under any circumstances unless you are legally obligated to or otherwise instructed to by a competent lawyer (NOTE: go find a competent lawyer and/or pick up a book to find out when/where/why you would be legally obligated to. The latter part of the video is from a police officer, presumably giving counterpoints.

Unfortunately, our landlady came by with a new copy of our lease at about 18 minutes into it and then it wouldn't play again, so if you watch it, feel free to leave some Cliff's Notes.

The video is streamed HERE, but allows a maximum of 20 viewers at a time.

It is also available (and linked from the page) on iTunes HERE. I have trouble downloading stuff from iTunes, so if you're successful at downloading the video file, please contact me to help figure out how I can get it from you.

Enjoy.
