The police primarily exist to serve and protect, which is why people are very comfortable running to them and talking to them about the details of an incident or case.
But it's often forgotten that the police are also tasked to enforce the law. They can arrest people for allegedly committing a crime and recommend their conviction upon investigation.
These are called “cop conversations”.
What are Cop Conversations?
Cop conversations refer to any conversation with or investigation by the police that can lead to an individual getting convicted of a crime. A lot of people forget that what they say to the police can eventually lead to them being prosecuted later on — and that's one of the most harmful things they can do for their case.
Cop conversations are admittedly very intense and nerve-wracking situations to be in. But people must remember that the police are not their friends and during these scenarios, they must exercise their rights granted by the constitution.
What to Do in Cop Conversations
Anyone involved in a cop conversation should know that they are not obligated to say or admit to anything. If they do, they will most likely sabotage their own case and get convicted.
Every American is given a Fifth Amendment right to remain silent and protect themselves from self-incrimination. And if involved in any cop conversation, their priority should be to exercise that right.
