Have the Cops given you a field interview?
By Christopher Hansen,
In my continuing research on how Cops destroy your privacy and intimidate people into thinking they MUST comply when in fact they questions are voluntary I found a Nevada Supreme Court Case that clearly describes what is called a “field interview.”
These field interviews are used by police to establish your whereabouts so that they can help to convict you even if you are innocent. In allowing Cops to interview you, you are self-incriminating yourself and setting yourself up future legal problems.
Remember what the United States Supreme Court warned Americans. Don’t talk to Cops for any reason as anything you say can be used against you in a court of law but nothing you say to Cops can be used to help you. Cops can ONLY testify against you.
The field interviews
During trial, Officers Julien Grant, Edward Reese, and Shawn Romprey testified that they had interviewed Somee on separate occasions prior to the shooting and completed field interview cards recording their interactions with Somee. Officer Grant explained that a field interview card is an index card on which police officers document contacts with individuals. The cards contain information concerning a person’s name, address, height, date of birth, and physical description. Officers also may record with whom they see an individual and the contents of the individual’s statements. If given the opportunity, officers take Polaroid pictures of individuals to attach to the card. Although in this case the actual field interview cards were not proffered at trial, the officers testified concerning the information contained on the cards, including Somee’s affiliation with the Horney Boyz gang. Detective Kobrys also used a Polaroid picture from one of the field interview cards in photographic lineups he created.
