Describe your reaction to the following statement?

You were brutally assualted and vanjacked. While the Dr. is stiching up your head a Detective comes in to take a report. His first words to you are "You better tell us the truth about what happened cause we know more about you than you know about yourself."

How the hell can you know more about me when you don't even know my name.

I would say great. So I guess I dont have to tell ypu anything. You seem to know already.

Sounds like a civil rights (of victim) and proticol violation of detective. My first reaction would be is "if you are the suspect - then they have the right to question you" if you are being honest with them and obviously you have the proof, i'd ask for their badge# or card and not talk to them at that point, but let them know that you will talk to them with your lawyer. They seem to do this method, when they aren't getting the full answer, like if they feel you are withholding information from them, for a complete investigation report. but this smells like a defensive detective and is violating your rights as the victim.

He probably does know your history of drugs and violence.He figures you are gonna lie to cover up the reason you got the sh*t kicked out of you.

"I request the presence of an attorney before I answer any questions."

The victim is always blamed. In this case, the victim was not only assumed to be guilty of insurance fraud, but was mistaken for a notorious Arab terrorist who was also at the center of a pedophile ring and involved too in immigtration fraud and drug smuggling.

Or else the detective was racial profiling and was trying it on. You never know: an injured person might be induced to give admissions against interest.

Of course confessions are of very little probative value anyway; but police and judges and juries everywhere tend to accept them as truth, and to convict. Look at how that charlatin Steve Thomas badgered the poor parentrs of JonBenet Ramsey.

My reaction would be to ask who this detective's commanding officer is, and how do I get in touch with him/her to file a complaint for this rude behavior.

its a tactic to get you to say anything they want, stick to your story even if you are threatened and get a good lawyer fast

I would be quite offended and would wonder if this detective is kidding because that is not the way someone is supposed to talk to a victim of crime, I would definately file a complaint to whoever was in charge.

I'd wonder why they think I did something wrong, because that's what it sounds like they're saying.

I smile at him and say "That's nice. I'll tell you what I remember. The rest is up to you."

A had a relative once that used to ask me questions about what I was thinking or why I did something. And when I answered, he'd always reply "No. I'll tell you why you did that...."

Anyone who tells me they know more about what's going on inside me than I know myself has immediately and permanently lost any credibility with me.
