    Yeah, I’m a woman fascinated by true crime. Watching/listening/reading about it just helps me to feel more… aware of how shit can go down. For example, a couple was murdered after a man snuck in behind their car as they pulled into their garage. He was caught on servalience camera, dressed in all black with his face covered. You can watch him very clearly as he easily slips in before the garage door closes. Once that door closed, that couple were goners.

    You bet your ass I make damn sure no one has snuck into my garage before I close the door.

    Like, obviously you’ll never be able to catch everything, or be so watchful that nothing ever happens to you, but I just feel a lot better knowing what to look out for.

    I also love watching interrogation breakdowns, because if I’m ever in a situation where I’m being interrogated, I want to make damn sure I know how to protect myself.

    So basically yeah, your wife is correct.

      as for interrogations, literally just don’t talk to the police, you aren’t legally required to do so, at least here in america you aren’t.

        Yeah, it’s easy to say it, but not so easy in practice, especially when they can lie to your face.

          i guess it depends? But honestly it’s not that hard. You can literally just ignore them. Or you can ask to leave, or you can ask for a lawyer. You have options.

              unless they’re beating you and torturing you, which is not something they’re allowed to do here. You’d have to be pretty stupid to miss that opportunity.
