I think it might be because they want to psych out the suspect, wear down their resistance. Also, it gives time for evidence gathering while the suspect is not at large. And no offence, but I think the police have more sophisticated interview techniques than your example, but it was funny. |

The longer they interview them, the more likely they are to expose weaknesses or discrepancies in their story. They make them repeat the same story over and over again, looking for differences to concentrate on. |

You answered your own question. People lie to police, especially if they are guilty. Changing the questioning or re-asking the same question often gets suspects to trip up on their own lies. |

If you just say "I want a lawyer" and nothing else, the meeting will end short. |

People don't always tell the truth so I suppose they have to look for inconsistencies in answers. |

Unfortunately, the British legal system stinks. I am writing a book about women who have been wrongly convicted and I estimate that 90% have false convictions. Another problem is that it takes so long to find the killer and so more people are killed. Your question stinks of somebody dealing with extremely thick people.
There are certain countries where the police wear guns because they are so well trained. |

Surely its so that while the suspects are being interviewed, it will give police etc time to check dna's and check the suspects house and leads etc. So maybe its nothing to do with questioning continuously?? |

The longer the person is questioned the more likely the truth will be exposed. |

It is called psychology. It takes time to analyze a person based on their behavior, i.e., how the suspect responds to certain stimuli. Get it? |

you've never had to question a suspect, have you? if they would tell the truth, questioning wouldn't take any time at all. but they don't |

Sometimes, if they've taken blood or urine samples, it may take time for forensics to tell them if they match samples found at the crime scene. |

To get to know your personality and intellegence.
To get enough info to catch you in inconsitencies.
To break you down to get a confession.
Tell them you will say nothing until you speak to a lawyer. That will shut them up fast. And NO you won't appear guilty if you call a lawyer, you'll appear smart.
Unfortunately, the system can trigger false confession as well as true ones,or even if you are innocent, it can cause you to provide some information, true or not, that can make you appear guilty and can be used in court later.
BUT it is not the specefic officer's fault. He is doing what he has been taught, doing his job, and wouldn't have taken you in unless there were some iota of reason to believe you are guilty or know who is. |

They need time to wear them out, and break down their will....give them more time to make mistakes and inconsistencies in their testimony.... |

no they just want all the information ; they usually dont repeat the same question unless you refuse to answer
that little "skit" is pretty funny though i must say |

They have a time limit in which to question you, think it's 6 or 12 hours. Then they have to release you or apply to a judge for extension. Hey if you were a policeman would you prefer to sit in an nice comfy station drinking coffee and asking questions or be out on the streets fighting drunks? ROFL. regards... |

The police process is this:
5 minutes warm-up chat
10 minutes beating a confession out of them
5 minutes forced signing of a prepared confession
72 hours for the bruises to go down before the courts see them |

I think its because they need more time to rifle the houses..... |

Because they can. They are all cowboys given supreme authority and have childrens mentality. It's a conspiracy, they are out to get you. |

Sure it is all about trickery. Even if you are not guilty of something they really do not care. It just makes them look good to convict someone of something. I would probably request a lawyer and let him do the talking. I have never had this sort of thing happen but I do know they will put you in jail if they can. |

Oh, I dunno..........maybe they want a confession or something. Don't you watch The Bill? |

that`s easy to answer.
First they have to go to Tesco or ASDA and get enough police officers who have finished they`re shopping to form a group of at least 4 . then they each take it in turn to ask the same question.
after that they all go to the canteen to make sure they all asked the same questions.that should take at least 24 hours. then after a cuppa in the canteen they do it all again |
