What I don't understand about the first 48, is why these dudes feel the need

[The Nigerian]

Even though I'm willing to bet most people who end up in the system are doing things to put them in that situation (though maybe thinking otherwise would be too scary a prospect and I'm reassuring myself here), I wouldn't be so dogmatic in thinking that as long as you do x and y, it will always equal z. Like in the link I posted, the first guy got taken in simply because the month long friend of the victim was asked to throw out a name she thinks might give them some headway in the case and she said "Oh I would talk to the next door neighbor " and that was all she wrote. You never know, it could be you one day.

There is a argument to be made that the system is not about justice as it is about efficiency to get a case in and out of court. Its done under the pretense that the constitution guarantees a fair () and speedy trial. There is a reason why plea bargains or trial by judges are pushed because they're much more efficient and speedy and there have been studies that claiming your right to a trial by jury actually tends to be more punitive and is used as a way to coerce defendants from using that option. This system leads to things like questionable interrogations and tactics used to speed up the process.

In regards to the first 48, there have been a few episodes where the way the cops went about things made me pause.

It's easier than ever to not be dragged into the fvckery that happens to be going on in your neighborhood.

I'm not saying that everyone in the system is guilty or that everyone gets a fair shake. But the best thing a young black male can do in a toxic environment is to become attached to their computer and learn how to make money off that.

If you do get in trouble with the law remember to stay calm, don't talk to anyone without a lawyer, and take out every last penny that you can to afford the best representation possible. I don't care if you have to take the $10k from Native American loan sharks. Crippling debt is far better than being locked up.

Please dont commit crimes yall. Why are we defending killers here.

More the reason to shut your mouth until you speak to a lawyer. I not exactly sure what interrogation techniques cop use, but I do know they run your story by you for hours until they can find inconsistencies. And you being scarred shytless is going to fukk you over because your going to fukk up somewhere.

Also more the reason to commit another act, fukk hit a bank, grab some bread, then be on the run. I would rather die then do life in prison.

They use a thing called hope most people don't want to sit in jail the cops make it seem like your going to go home if you talk

That's why you gotta do your dirt all by your lonely. These dumb niccas fold at the first opportunity and get everyone involved incriminated.

That's the shyt I don't get. Them nikkas be thinking if they talk, the police are going to let them go home until they decide what they wanna do. Nawwwwww nikka, you may never see another day of freedom in your life. I mean think about that, you may NEVER see the streets again. I wish them dudes knew that before they start confessing on some bu bu bu I was scared and it was self defense shyt. Them nikkas don't care, murder one, life in prison, goodnight.

Car Insurance agencies do the same thing after a wreck.

if they know you did the crime but that can't prove it, they'll have you repeat the same shyt a million times until that one time the story changes.

It's almost in impossible to re-tell a story 100% accurately and answer questions when it's a lie.
