As one of the nation's top drug enforcement officers, I became an expert in lie detection. My extensive training, which included the study of the FBI polygraph manual, helped me detect when a person was lying or telling the truth. Each person I arrested for contraband committed one or more of the following indicators of deception. I hope these tips help you NeverGetBusted for a non violent drug crime. Police look for these top three indicators of deception when interviewing citizens:
Hand-To-Head Contact–For some reason when a human is being deceptive, they will touch their hand to their head. It may only be the wipe of a brow, a scratch of the nose, a pull of the ear, a hat adjustment or lighting a cigarette but all of these movements indicate deception. I once used this tactic against a police officer during a federal court deposition. The officer scratched his head when answering a question so I knew he was lying. This knowledge allowed me to continue a line of questioning that eventually trapped him.
Grooming–Although most grooming is considered hand-to-head, this is the number one indicator of deception. If your teenager or significant other is brushing his/her hair or applying makeup while answering troubling questions, there is deception in the air. I’ve found this to be true 100% of the time. Never groom yourself in front of a cop.
Repeating The Question–If a cop asks “Where are you going?” and you reply, “Where am I going?” She knows you are being deceptive. Repeating a question happens when a person is stalling for time for the purpose of developing a lie. Always have your story practiced when traveling with your stash so you don’t have to invent a lie on the spot.
It's always better to not talk to cops because there is no way to lie to them if you don't. It's not against the law to not talk to a cop during a traffic stop. Your only obligation is to provide a driver's license and proof of insurance. That's it. If you feel like you must speak, just say, "I'm using my right to not say anything." Repeat this statement with each question the officer asks.
Big Barry bear hug. I sincerely love you and want you to remain free.
