Dude, if you're talking to the cops you're goin' DOWN!\n\nBest way to avoid jail is not to do anything that makes the cops want to talk to you.\n\nUnder the radar, bro! Under the radar!

Police may use any valid (read: lawful) combination of the same tricks and techniques we used to get stuff from our parents. They can tell white lies, say they will try to help you, pretend to be your friend, threaten to be unhappy with you, etc.\n\nThe lines get crossed at physical abuse, mental abuse, denial of access to an attorney, violation of due process (basically, being really unfair), or refusing to take no for an answer (see: Miranda violations).\n\nKeep in mind, however, that courts define interrogation as "asking questions, or other conduct designed or intended to elicit a response". It's not interrogation if they just sit and stare at you, or leave you alone with nobody to talk to.

Do you mean to the police, or to the people they arrest?

Without going into great detail, if you listen they say "You have the RIGHT to remain silent"   It's just the that it's their right to not have to say anything.  And when you are being questioned you aren't always a criminal, remember you must be proven guilty, but you are first innocent.  At the time when they are questioning them they are suspects.   Also i'm sure if a suspect didn't want to talk, but was forced to do so, they would make up a lot of junk and waste the polic officers time anyways

I would disagree with the paranoid among the crowd ("the police will get you if you complain about one of them") but to each his own...and I'm sure it has happened in some places.  \n\nCertainly you can file a complaint with the officer's agency.\n\nYou can probably also file a complaint with the prosecutor's office.\n\nYou can hire a lawyer and pursue a 1983 action.  Hope you've got buckets of money, or a generous lawyer.\n\nWhat's more important to me, and what would really make the whole issue moot, is the issue of whether or not the officer "made up false charges."  Is this your opinion?  You may not know the law well enough to make that determination.  If it's an incident that you have no personal knowledge of, you may not even have all the facts.  \n\nIt's also entirely possible that the officer relied on information given to him/her by a witness or a victim.  If someone comes to me and claims to be a rape victim, I have to give them the benefit of the doubt and begin an investigation.  Given enough probable cause to make an arrest based on my investigation, I may arrest the suspect...even though he may eventually be proven to be factually innocent.  That doesn't mean I made anything up, it simply means there was enough information to justify making an arrest...and nobody will ever tell you (nobody that knows what they're talking about) that just because an arrest was made and the suspect was later proven to be innocent, that the officer absolutely had to be wrong about the arrest.  Sometimes things come to light after the arrest that shows the suspect didn't commit the crime after all...but that does not necessarily mean the officer made anything up.\n\nDo cops lie?  Sure...I hate to think so, but I know they do, just like doctors, lawyers, judges, auto mechanics, plumbers, dope dealers and garbage collectors.  I'd like to think we take steps to weed out liars, but I'm not about to say we (as a group) never do it...just as I would never say any one particular group of people does anything.  \n\nIf this is something you'd like to talk more about in email, I'm happy to help shed some different light on it for you or help point you in the direction you might want to go (though I'm not suggesting you should only listen to what *I* say).  If you'd like to talk about it, you can send an email to my nickname at yahoo.com.\n\nNo way will I say the officer in whatever case you're talking is not lying, but I don't know what the facts are and I'm certainly hoping there's another explanation for what you seem to be claiming is dishonesty.

My father was a cop and he told me some simple ways to avoid getting a ticket.  Here they are and I will keep it simple so everyone can do it:\n\n1)  Pull way over so the poor guy doesn't feel like he is going to get run over by being on the edge of traffic.\n\n2)  Be polite, you are not being singled out.  If you weren't doing anything wrong, you wouldn't of been pulled over.  Don't sass the cop.  Treat him with respect and use rank and name or call him Officer or Trooper.\n\n3)  Don't deny you were doing something wrong.  See #2.  If you deny you were doing something wrong it is akin to calling him a liar\n\n4)  Have your drivers license, insurance information, and registration ready when you are approached.  \n\n5)  Keep your hands in full view of the officer\n\n6)  At night turn on your inside cab light so he doesn't feel a threat of possible attack.\n\n7)  Keep him talking as long as you can while not abusing him or denying you are wrong.\n\n8)  Use your manners!  Show respect and dignity for law enforcement.  Remember it is their turf and you are on it, the officer has the power and you need gentle application of it.\n\n9)  Smile\n\n10)  Thank him for letting you off!

Denial is the best defense in driving violations.  The policemen must improve their methods to identify the culprits.

- Plant drugs on people\n\n- Convince you that you have to get out of the car or allow a search on a routine traffic stop. (You don't have to. However, if you refuse, they'll make you wish you had complied.)\n\n- Use unmarked cars for routine traffic stops. This is against the law. I have seen the code, and it prohibits this.\n\n- Arrest someone for a buddy. This happened in a small town: I know someone who was involved in road rage and police corruption all in one day. He accidentally pulled in front of someone. There was NO COLLISION. They chased him and ran him off the road. They yelled at him and said, "You probably don't even have insurance!" He DOES have insurance, but he was feeling feisty so he said, "Maybe I don't." The road rage guy then went to his small town buddies at the police station and lied, saying that my friend had done a "hit and run" on him and had no insurance. This was a lie, and ovbiously NEITHER vehicle was damaged! His small town police buddies ARRESTED my friend for a so called hit and run which never occurred!!!\n\n- I know someone who got a ticket for trying not to run into a police car. The cop was on the shoulder with his lights still on from having just finished making a traffic stop. The dude drove partially on the opposite side of the two way, two lane road, so as to give the cop room. The cop chased him and wrote him a ticket for driving on the wrong side of the road!\n\n- Drive on the wrong side of the road or violate other laws for reasons which are NOT emergencies. I saw a cop drive on the wrong side of the road just to talk to his buddy for a long, casual conversation.\n\n- Ride motorcycles side-by-side. The are supposed to ride straddled with the 2nd guy in behind and to the side so as not to run into one another. Many policemen run into each other this way and have been reprimanded for this by their superiors but continue to do as they please.\n\n-An old trick: When arresting someone on a traffic stop, they search them and take their wallet which they promptly toss into their car as it is about to be towed away. This means that the person doesn't have access to their ID or money while trying to post bail, check into jail, or retrieve their car from the pound!\n\n- They seduce someone into commiting a crime: There is someone drunk standing on private property. The police officer says, "Come here for a second..." and motion to them. The drunk person complies, walking OFF of the private property onto the sidewalk. They are now violating the public drunkeness law. They are promptly arrested, after being duped.\n\n- They detain a teenager for no apparent reason and make them stand next to their car for an hour or so, until it is curfew. Then they arrest them for violating curfew. Nice, huh?\n\nI am sure there are some really good cops out there, but unfortunately, MOST of them are at least moderately corrupt, if not totally. They know how to exploit the loopholes in the law, and don't always do so for the right reasons.

6 arrests or 6 charges? If you have the cash on hand try something simple like public intox, drunken disorderly, public lewdness...You get the point. Don't act too drunk though otherwise they will put you in the tank for a few hours. We did something similar here and we just paid a cop friend of ours to arrest us over and over. 8 times in one day beating the previous record of 4. That and we got to slash a dudes tires in broad day light with him watching. It was great! Good luck! LOL

You have to tell them that you are performing a citizens arrest citing the reason and which CRIMINAL law has been broken. Then you have to inform them of their rights (same as Police), then hand over to police when they turn up. You can't search them, neither can you touch them (classed as assault).
