It is difficult not to get confused during interrogation by an investigator, especially for the first time. It is necessary to maintain calmness, composure and confidence in words throughout the procedure so as not to arouse suspicion and unnecessary questions.
Instructions
Step 1
Before the interrogation begins, be sure to ask the investigator for an identity document, write down information about him. The investigator must fill out all the columns of the protocol in front of you, which indicate who is conducting the interrogation. It is also necessary that all those present are recorded in the protocol, since in some cases the interrogation is carried out in places where there are many strangers. Sometimes this is done on purpose in order to put pressure on the interrogated in this way. You have the right not to answer questions from persons not included in the protocol.
Step 2
Each question and the answer to it must be recorded in the protocol. Make sure that the investigator records everything exactly as you said. Any misspelled word can later be used against you. You can also write down everything that was said with your own hand.
Step 3
With the active assistance of operational workers immediately after the initiation of a criminal case, the investigator can use surprise, speculation with information available in the case to his advantage. The posing of leading questions is prohibited. If you notice that the investigator is trying to come up with the right answer, answer very carefully. You can add the phrase "I'm not sure" to the answer.
Step 4
After the interrogation, you must read the transcript carefully. If inaccuracies are found, ask for changes immediately. In this situation, every word plays a huge role.
