Annotation
Part of a series of training demonstrations by practicing trial lawyers and law enforcement officers in a criminal prosecution, this film demonstrates a common method of police interrogation in use before the 1966 Supreme Court ruling in Miranda vs. Arizona.
Abstract
Following his recognition by the police, based on a broadcast description of a robbery suspect, the 23-year-old suspect is taken into police custody. The film emphasizes particular aspects of the pre-Miranda interrogation, including police use of sarcastic and hostile language, bullying techniques, and attempts to impress on the suspect that he has no rights. The film shows the suspect agreeing to give a statement to the police, the booking procedure, and the suspect's return to the county jail.
