Should you tell the cops that you weren't doing anything wrong? Does claiming innocence really help you? What does a cop think when he hears you say, "Well, I wasn't doing anything wrong." Cops hear all the time, "Hey, I wasn't doing anything wrong." I think it's okay to say that. I don't think there's anything antagonistic about that, really. There's some psychology behind whether or not that makes you look guilty versus whether it really does help you. I don't think it really helps you cuz if he suspects you of doing something wrong, he's going to believe what he wants to believe. But, think there's anything wrong with you telling him that. Do you? Comment below. What do you think about that?
