The suspect's family called and asked the police what they thought of the case.

At present, the confession of criminal suspects occupies a very important position in the evidence of criminal charges, commonly known as the "king of evidence" and plays an irreplaceable role. However, due to the quality of investigators and the regional judicial environment, interrogators occasionally induce confessions and extort confessions by torture during interrogation, which has a great negative impact on judicial credibility. So how should we, as the parties, answer the interrogation of investigators? How to protect your legitimate rights and interests from infringement?

First, before the interrogators interrogate, they should consult lawyers to know their rights and what behaviors of interrogators belong to irregular interrogation methods.

For the parties to a criminal case, before going to the public security organ for interrogation, it is strongly recommended to go to a law firm specializing in criminal defense and ask a professional criminal defense lawyer to provide you with advice to understand the rights of the operating suspect and the common irregular interrogation methods. Free and unprofessional criminal defense lawyers should be avoided as much as possible. I believe that a patient with a fracture will not go to the gastroenterology department to see a professional doctor. Criminal cases are complicated, so it is very important to find a professional and experienced lawyer.

Second, truthfully state the facts to the investigation department and strive for a lighter punishment.

When you get to the public security department, you must not take any chances. It is also good for sentencing to state the facts of one's own experience from the beginning. If you voluntarily surrender, this is the plot of surrender. If it is passive, this is the plot of confession. We should follow our own pace, not under the guidance of interrogators. If the interrogators make inappropriate inferences and make judgments that are inconsistent with the facts, we must make appropriate excuses and make sure that these excuses are written in the transcript and record our own words. Sometimes your statement has another meaning after being summarized by the recorder. On the other hand, you must never admit what you have not done because of the inducement or threat of the police, nor can you admit it in order to get a bail pending trial. Be realistic when you answer questions.

Third, in criminal interrogation, both sides of the question and answer are playing psychological games.

Most of the suspects have not been interrogated by harsh interrogators in a room, so they will be psychologically afraid. According to the criminal procedure law, you can only be detained for 48 hours before the interrogators prove that you have committed a crime. If you are forced to confess by torture or other means such as bail pending trial, admit what you have not done and make a confession record, the police will have "sufficient" reasons to issue you a criminal detention decision, and the chances of correcting your previous guilty confession will be slim. Even if it is corrected later, you will be mainly responsible, because your "false confession" misled the work of the police.

Four, criminal interrogation must be truthfully stated, do not trust the promise of the interrogators.

During the first criminal interrogation, the interrogators may say, "Just admit it, it's no big deal. Just pay two yuan and detain for a few days." "If you plead guilty, I will let you out." These words are hardly induced confessions, because there are laws to follow. But what you did is your own responsibility, and what you didn't do will never be borne. Don't expect to confess now, but you can retract your confession in court later. According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, you must have sufficient reasons to retract your confession. How do you confirm the interrogator's promise? In the end, the judge can only think that you have a bad attitude towards confession. Judicial practice has proved that it is basically impossible for a criminal suspect to prove that he has been lured into confession.

5. Know some interrogation knowledge before interrogation.

Interrogation is a basic skill of interrogators, and the process of interrogation is the process of breaking the psychological defense of suspects. The more common ones are "red and white faces", one of which drives you to a dead corner, and the other seems to give you a "chance to live". According to the law, the interrogation of general criminal cases requires synchronous audio and video recording. In the absence of audio and video recordings, you should be especially careful when answering interrogators.

Six, carefully read the interrogation record, the record should be able to clearly express their original intention.

Audio and video recordings shall be made during the interrogation, from entering to leaving the interrogation room. Recording the interrogation record means recording the original words, that is, recording the original words according to your narrative. You must read the record carefully before signing. If they are missing or may be ambiguous, you can ask for supplements or rewrite them yourself, and then sign if you are sincere. Remember that you can't be influenced by the interrogator's emotions. You should read it carefully before signing it. Signing means your approval of the report card. This statement is very important in future trials.

Seven, remember the time, place and basic content of each record.

The parties should try their best to remember the transcripts, time and contents they have made, especially when they think they have not committed the facts of the alleged crime. Because there is often a lack of innocent transcripts of criminal suspects in court files, at this time, the parties or defense lawyers can apply for transcripts that have not been retrieved in court and ask the procuratorate to provide relevant evidence so that the judge can conduct a comprehensive review of the case, and perhaps because of this action, they can be exonerated.

To sum up, what has been done should be told truthfully, and what has not been done should never be induced to admit by interrogators. Only in this way can you protect your legitimate rights and interests and maintain your innocence.
