Document Summary
The police structure the environment and the interaction in a way to facilitate a waiver without explicitly stating so. Example: detective h uses subtle, background psychology to get a waiver on the miranda warnings. For example, he puts the suspect"s name on a sheet on the door, which the suspect then looks at before entering the interrogation room, which makes the suspect"s interrogation look more serious than it really is. He also lets the suspect sit alone in the room for five to fifteen minutes prior to any questioning, so as to create the impression that it isn"t so important to the investigator whether he talks. Detective h crosses out the word "and will" in the second miranda warning, pointing out that what the suspect tells him may help him out and thus may or may not be used against him. Example: the suspect obviously wanted to talk right away, but detective.
