A Toast to Silence: Avoid Becoming Another Victim of Deceptive Police Tactics by Knowing When and How to Use the Power of Silence

Every day, police deception tactics fool millions of Americans into giving evidence they don’t have to give, leading to their arrest and conviction in court because they don’t know when and how to take advantage of their absolute constitutional right to remain silent. By the time they hear the Miranda warning, they have already voluntarily given up the evidence the police need to make an arrest by answering questions and taking sobriety tests, and in many cases, they’ve already guaranteed they’ll lose in court. A Toast to Silence focuses on the right time before the Miranda warning to remain silent and not take tests and on the exact word-for-word lies the police cleverly disguise as truths to make people give up evidence―and shows you exactly when and how to use the power of silence to overcome these deceptive tactics for success in court.
