What a great 39th birthday present

Detective: "You have the right to remain silent" Suspect: * stays silent * Detective: 😠

A cop saying "now you've handcuffed me" to a guy *actually* in handcuffs is the height of absurdity

Immediately request a lawyer and remain silent because, "Anything you say can and will be used AGAINST you in a court of law." NOTHING you say will be used to HELP you in a court of law.

What's amazes me the most is that the system is so broken that we are witnessing criminals with badges, badgering a man into a confession without evidence.

So let's put all of this in a nutshell. If you're ever arrested and detained, the only words to ever come out of your mouth should be, "I want a lawyer'.

This guy is highly intelligent and has a ton of willpower. He beat the two detectives at their own game while withdrawing from heroin. Hats off to that fella. He's one strong man.

You may surprise yourself with how strong you can be in difficult situations. I was 24-36 hrs into heroin withdrawal when I was taken into an interrogation room like this. I kept my mouth shut. The corrections officer in my pod told me that I had a "lawyer visit", but then instead of taking me to the visitation room, two plainclothes undercover officers took me down into the basement of the jail to an interrogation room with a two-way mirror. When I wouldn't agree to give them info about any of my dealers in exchange for being released, they handed me their business card and told me to call them when i changed my mind. They were counting on my getting sick and desperate enough that I would contact them later to make a deal. When that didnt happen after a couple of weeks, they tried to get me to sign for a rehab center run by the jail where I would get to "eat better food and wear my street clothes and have more freedom" (the rehab center was just a glorified jail and the county received money every time they convinced someone to go there). They kept trying to get me to sign paperwork that would give them permission "just to see" if I qualified for this supposed rehab program. It was all very shady. I ended up spending months in jail, refusing to talk or sign anything. Typically, the grand jury has 90 days to indict you, and then they have to let you go if they don't indict you. Otherwise, you can file a writ of habeas corpus. However, I happened to be in there when some major winter storms hit and the courts kept being closed down due to the weather (this was in Texas where the entire state basically stops functioning if there's ever a lot of snow or ice because they're not equipped for that kind of weather😒). FINALLY, after almost 6 months, the grand jury met, didn't have enough evidence to indict me, and I was released the next day. If I had just confessed to something or signed something out of desperation to get out of jail, I'd have that felony on my record right now. NEVER admit to anything. Never talk to the cops. If you ARE ultimately convicted of a crime, NEVER sign for the first or second offer just because you want to get it all over with. The prosecutor will ALWAYS give you a better offer down the line with less time. Usually, they'll also end up offering to bump a felony down to a misdemeanor (unless it's, like, murder or something). It's all a waiting game. They're counting on people being desperate to move things along so they can just get it over with. You have to find a calm place somewhere within your mind and try to be as zen as you can. You have to find a way to be patient while being locked up, which is hard to do because nothing is more panic inducing than being locked in a cage, ESPECIALLY while going through withdrawal. Just keep reminding yourself that waiting it out and not giving the police and prosecutors what they want, no matter how hard it may be in the moment, will save you SO MUCH in the future and will ALWAYS be worth it in the long run. You'll thank yourself later.

Jeff is a likeable and intelligent guy. I truly hope he’s doing well in life now.

Crazy how he 'outsmarted' the detective by literally just exercising his constitutional rights lol

It is scary that someone innocent could pay for a crime they didn't do because of someone in law enforcement know how to exploit their fear and get false confessions.

Glad to see Jeff was smart. And even more glad to see he turned his life around and is now helping others in similar predicaments.

Brief summary: Jeff: *breathes in front of a cop* Narrator: Every part of it is so perfect!

It's insane to think that exercising your basic constitutional rights can be considered outsmarting the cops, but that's exactly what happened in this situation

Hearing Jeff cleaned up his life after this and was able to remove that evil drug from his life is truly truly inspiring. GOD Bless you Jeff.

What a brave and smart man. Not gonna lie, the ending almost brought tears to my eyes. So happy to know his life is getting better compared to the point in the video. He deserves every bit of praise he got in the comment section.

Keep it up jeff! I'm 44 and have been sober over a year. You got this bro.

Here's all u need to understand: the technique used by the detectives all around our country was developed by a guy who got false confessions 🤣

I only worked as a defense attorney for a very short time but I learnt an important lesson: *never* talk to the police. It will almost never help you, and can really hurt you.

A masterclass in how to handle the dumb dirty cops. Heartwarming ending to this video. Glad you got your life back Jeff! Onward and upward my friend!!

I love how he said "let's go to the hospital", no pleading, begging, none of that, just a simple statement that either he dies in this cell or to get him help.

the best thing about this video is the fact he has turned his life around and is being better.

warms my heart to know he turned his life around, way to go Jeff!

Detective: you have the right to remain silent Jeff: takes a deep breath and emits a long fart

Awesome way to handle yourself when they tried to trap you as an innocent man. Also a HUGE congrats!! As an addict and alcoholic in recovery I know how hard it can be at times. Keep up the good hard work.

This guy is super smart. And to think he was doing it while he was sick and in pain. Imagine what he could do when he’s feeling great. Good luck, Jeff!

The fact the read technique worked on someone who wasn’t guilty is just evidence on how the system is trying to screw you

This is absolutely amazing!! Way to go buddy 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯🔥🔥

This shit usually starts as soon as you're busted and they have you in the back of the car. The arresting Det start peppering you with questions while the other Det is driving you to jail all the while your head is still spinning from the take down. Don't say a word from the second they slap the cuffs on you. The main thing that really stands out here is when he said "you're not my friends and you're not here to help me" He is 100 % on that as well, no matter how kind they may sound they are there to get a conviction against you, plain and simple!

Legend has it Jeff went on to become a great criminal defense attorney.

Gold medal to that guy for his ability to maintain awareness, despite experiencing withdrawal symptoms, and despite having no attorney present.

Whenever I was in withdrawal, I could only sleep uncomfortably, while mentally depressed and just not want to be conscious. It was a horrible experience and that was at the comfort of my home, I could only imagine it being hell if you had to go thru w/d IN JAIL! For Jeff to make these cops look like buffoons, while making them fetch him a Coke and Butterfinger LOL, while on withdrawal most likely more severe than I have ever experienced (due to use history and tolerance), I am amazed at how well he handled himself. Jeff, you are a legend and I hope you maintain sobriety and enjoy life playing music!

Praise God. Glad to hear Jeff's getting clean, I'm an ex addict and no matter what a person has done to start using drugs no one else can imagine the nightmare sickness that an addict feels and goes through. It is its own prison of death.

Bahaha the cop stating that Jeff only knew about half the law and Jeff responding *“I half-a$$ know that all I came down here for was a Coke… and now I want a butterfinger”* was PRICELESS. Comedy gold

Ah yes the "I have enough evidence, but" line. This right here is a turning point. The police don't have enough or any evidence and are fishing for anything that gives them the upper hand. This is where you tell them to stop and wait for your lawyer.

This is the kind of content the world needs more of!

This guy probably is more inspirational than he realizes. More power to him that he cleaned up his life, recovery isn't easy but he shown that it's possible.

"I've been arrested for this **** before and you all didn't interview me this much." is such an underrated line.

i love how his voice never changes

Loved the video most calm cool collective attitude I've seen when dealing with being interrogated absolutely brilliant well-done Jeff

He’s 100% right too. All theyre trying to do is trick him into a confession. When I was younger I was hanging around a bad crowd. Had detectives hiding out on my block watching every move & I had no idea. When they finally arrested me for something else they brought me into the room & started hammering me with questions about something completely unrelated to what I was originally arrested for. They tried bringing in false evidence to get me to admit to the crimes they wanted me to admit too. They tried saying I was identified by a person we use to sell the product too. Well I never even met that dude face to face. Once they told me he identified me I knew everything they were saying was bullshit. Kept my mouth shut & got out of all 6 felonies they tried pinning on me. Thankfully that was my wakeup call & I got out from that area & crowd. Records 100% clean now & I can live my life stress free not wondering if anyones watching my every move.

It makes me happy he is doing well now❤️ God bless him

ATM Jeff wasn't aware that he was making an instructional video on what to do when you get arrested. Way to go Jeff!

I laughed out loud when the second guy said "Now you've handcuffed me because you've asked for a lawyer." The guy is _literally_ handcuffed, and the cop is appealing for sympathy because the suspect is making it hard for him to get a confession.

Great job Jeff and I will be praying for your recovery. You knew what they was trying to get you to do. You had the right to remain SILENT, GREAT JOB 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

During drug use or withdrawal, a person can become more paranoid. Being paranoid is generally seen as something negative, but it comes with a big benefit as well. Being paranoid makes the suspect even less likely to trust the agent. Paranoid people are experts in finding out if the other person is being dishonest.

I want a longer interview. He is gold.

Never even admitted he understands his rights lol..classic

This video deserves a medal for its outstanding contribution to smiles!

My family members whom retired from law enforcement taught me never talk to the police, never answer their questions, cause "whatever you say, can and will be used against you in a court of law."

"we're getting paid more than you are so we got a lot of time man" instantly started to root for the jeff at that point

Jeff is a legend. It should be displayed in schools to teach people what to do if in a wrong place at the wrong time situation.

I have to say that was impressive.. gotta give credit where credit is due.. he literally and figuratively owned this detective 👏🏻

Every time i see a video pop up regarding this instance of Jeff, I can’t help but watch it all over again and laugh at how badass Jeff is through this whole ordeal.

He's not just smart, he's also lucky this actually made it to the public

So, if it's illegal to continue to question a suspect after requesting a lawyer, how are these detectives not in trouble? How is it ok for them to violate the rights they read to Jeff on three separate occasions to coerce a possible false confession?

This is criminal. You either have enough evidence to go to trial or you let him walk. Trying to trick someone into a confessing when you don't have enough evidence to convict is criminal.

I’ve never rooted so much for a junky in my entire life. Or should I proudly say, ex junky. Way to go, Jeff!

I'm terrified of get falsely accused of crimes I didn't commit. So this guy really helped me learn a thing or two. Edit: Guys I live in America, being sentenced because of something you didn't even do is very common here and our justice system kind of sucks

i’ve always wondered why people don’t talk to the police during interrogation like this, you already know what they’re trying to do😭

Jeff your awesome continue being great. Thank you brother.

We all need to try our best to do good, even if we might be great at convencing our selves that we can't do good (like Jeff with the cop.) We always have the ability to stop or prevent things from becoming worse and to make things better in this world.

This was a seriously impressive performance. Makes you think what Jeff could have achieved if he had walked a different path in life.

This man single-handedly destroyed the self esteem of the investigators.

Thank you Jeff 💎

It’s fucked up to know that they manipulate you to confess to something they at times know damn well you didn’t do. What a fucked up system we live in.

Happy to see that he turned his life around. That makes him an even bigger legend.

He may be a junkie, but he’s a lot smarter than the vast majority of people that have been put in his same situation. Not to mention he’s dealing with withdrawal symptoms. Which makes this even more impressive.

😃 omg, it’s only the legend himself! Can’t tell u how many times I’ve seen ur Interrogation video analyzed & I love u more every time. Hope ur hanging in!

And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, is how Jeff became a Legend. ⚖️

Kind of terrifying that he asked for a lawyer and hospitalization and yet the police continued to interrogate him. Isn't that a violation of constitutional rights? Couldn't Jeff sue the department for breaching those rights?

A lawyer buddy of mine said one time he was walking down the hall towards another client and a door opened up and he heard the cop say “why should I tell you about the evidence we have you haven’t helped me.” He stopped knocked on the door and asked the gentleman in custody if he had a lawyer. He said no and then my buddy gave him his card told him to not say another word and that “we can get all the evidence in discovery” both his original client and new client were out of the station within a few hours and neither were ever charged with anything. My buddy has a great relationship with police but man he doesn’t like that they can lie to get a confession.

Cop: "Now you've handcuffed me" Jeff (Handcuffed to his belt line): "Come again?"

Lead your best life, sir. It's all there for you.

I was arrested once. I lawyered up. They dragged it out 3 years then the judge dismissed all charges.

“ Wham bam thank you for the coke put me back in my cell, my home” dead 💀

Best interview ever 😂

Way to go Jeff. Continued success.

It's amazing how the police doesn't mind in getting false confessions out of innocent people. That means that they're willing to help the true criminal by letting him go and arresting an innocent person instead.

Well Jeff ,I'm an ex junkie myself and just want to say that it is awesome to see one of our guys turning his life around. I am not financially stable right now but I will at least subscribe and like every one of your videos until I can contribute in some more significant way. In the meantime, stay on that road your on bro, I hope to join you soon.God bless brother.

This guy's a legend

Awesome Jeff!!! Beating that it difficult and you did it!! I hope your doing good JEFF!!!!!!!!

“Wham bam thank you for the coke put me back in the cell” Legendary line. Glad he straightened his life out.

Never talk to cops. NEVER, when they say I'm trying to help you. Recognize, you're in handcuffs. In the box all he/she wants is to clear this as fast as possible. You mean ZERO, no matter how "friendly" he/she is. Great job brah. God bless you!

I'm extremely happy for Jeff turning his life around. To do what he did while withdrawing on opiates is a sure test of ability.

The best part of the video was him turning his life around! ♥️ Him now giving tips is just extra gravy on the side 😏

I'm glad these pieces of EVIDENCE prove how deceptive and manipulative POLICE REALLY ARE

Lol "I half ass know I came down here for a coke.. now I want a butterfinger" What a legend

Congratulations Jeff, so glad to hear you're on the road to recovery, and we're able to school these detectives , too many people have gone to prison for something they didn't do.

Hilarious hearing a cop say you give me evidence ill give you some evidence 😂😂😂. Boy was desperate.

Wait! Jeff asked for medical assistance AND a lawyer and gets none of it? 😮

He'd probably make a great criminal attorney considering he knows all the tricks from both sides. It's always nice when this type of story has a positive ending.

"You can't trust most cops". Quote from a buddy of mine who is a retired state trooper.

Hey mcyum happy for your new channel

Jeff needs to be a lawyer 😂

It's terrifying that they can make innocent people confess to serious crimes. I can't even imagine what sort of psychopath would ruin someone's entire life just to help their career. I guess there really is a fine line between detective and criminal sometimes.

Him turning around his life is so uplifting. I hope he will succeed in staying off that life destroying substance!

This man is awesome

“Wham bam thankyou for the coke now put me back in my cell” 💀💀 what a funny guy

I f---ing LOVED it!! I watch so many interrogation videos and I can't believe how the police get people time and time again. So happy to hear Jeff got straight and is better, I wish him all the luck in the world and anyone else struggling with issues. This is my favorite interrogation video of all time.
