My ex-wife claimed it was to learn how to kill me.

She might be Canadian, we might never know

Best tip for killing someone is to wait so long after ever interacting with them that no-one would believe you have motive. That's also the best tip for not following through, as its really difficult to hold onto a grudge for so long under changing circumstances.

TL;DR: Yes, its too early to tell.

Aka, I learned how to detect signs about criminals when being verbally told about those signs up front after learning about them in huge investigations from serial killers who were caught...

Not even the 2,100 estimated serial killers that aren't caught...

Simple fact is if someone wants to lie to you, more than likely you'll believe it lol. Just one of the many things we have to believe to keep society running and ourselves from freaking out daily.

Yeah, I'm a woman fascinated by true crime. Watching/listening/reading about it just helps me to feel more... aware of how shit can go down. For example, a couple was murdered after a man snuck in behind their car as they pulled into their garage. He was caught on servalience camera, dressed in all black with his face covered. You can watch him very clearly as he easily slips in before the garage door closes. Once that door closed, that couple were goners.

You bet your ass I make damn sure no one has snuck into my garage before I close the door.

Like, obviously you'll never be able to catch everything, or be so watchful that nothing ever happens to you, but I just feel a lot better knowing what to look out for.

I also love watching interrogation breakdowns, because if I'm ever in a situation where I'm being interrogated, I want to make damn sure I know how to protect myself.

So basically yeah, your wife is correct.

as for interrogations, literally just don't talk to the police, you aren't legally required to do so, at least here in america you aren't.

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You kind of do though.

You have to actively implement your fifth amendment, right.

In plane clear, articulate language.

One guy said “I want my lawyer, dog.” and the judge rule that that didn’t count.

The police are not your friends, they are people that you should see to interact with as little as humanly possible in your life.

The cops are not coming to you as friends. Ever!!!

I’m not going to say that your neighbor who happens to be a cop is the same as this.

Personally, I would treat them as such, with respect and distance, but your situation may be different.

Just remember, Neighbor Frank and Officer Hernandez are very different people.

But anytime they’re in uniform for sure, they are not your friends.

Even if you call them, they are still trained to assume that you might be the suspect, and to be suspicious of everyone.

this tbh. As for the guy that said he wanted his lawyer, im guessing he continued to talk to the police? There's his problem. Don't talk to them. Simple as.

[–] NoIWontPickAName@kbin.earth 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don’t know, probably though.

Like, if you’re going to say the phrase, I want my lawyer dog, you’re probably gonna keep on talking to the police

if he didnt continue talking, he would've gotten a lawyer. The entire point of interrogation is to skip the lawyer/court part, since it's time consuming and expensive.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's easy to say it, but not so easy in practice, especially when they can lie to your face.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i guess it depends? But honestly it's not that hard. You can literally just ignore them. Or you can ask to leave, or you can ask for a lawyer. You have options.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Just like everything else. It's easy when it's not happening to you.

unless they're beating you and torturing you, which is not something they're allowed to do here. You'd have to be pretty stupid to miss that opportunity.

the only patterns to look out for are giving people your trust.

Trust no one, and nothing. That is your best chance.

Beyond that, engage in excessive paranoia. You probably shouldn't do that, and should just establish a methodology of behavior that minimizes potential impact instead (i.e. dont do something that is likely to get you killed)
