01/09 False Confessions

Quote From: imtrixkat

now that I know you are a self-admitted drug addict, it explains your attititude.  Never been caught either, apparently.  I, too, was a drug addict, speed was my drug of choice.  However, I didn't forget how to spell . . . However, that's another subject.  I'm just saying you have to remember the state of mind these statements are coming from.  You opinions make much more sense to me now.

Having done time twice, myself, it IS amazing how little we know of our rights until we have lost them.  Today, I can say that I would never admit to something I didn't do.  But ONLY because I understand the system and besides, what are they going to do?  Send me to prison?  Been there, done that (CA).  Of course, I only did two short terms.  But the point is, I KNOW they lie about evidence, I KNOW they will try to coerce.

It just destroys me to see young people in particular bullied and coerced into confessing.  I'm quite sure it can happen to anyone who believes in the system.  We are raised that the cops are the good guys.  And there are still good guy cops.  But if you are the one accused, if you are being viewed as the bad guy, you better start looking out for number one.

I am now a Criminal Justice major and Substance Abuse studies major.  My passion is to help those coming out to have an opportunity to move forwards if that is what they desire.  I've been clean for 7 years this month.  If I can do it, anybody who WANTS to can do it also.

Even you, afraid.

its a very small and closed mind to judge for spelling, had i known i were in a spelling bee i would have used spellcheck, lol
