>> I bet 70% of the time people change their stories when confronted with that line.

I am sure they do, that does not mean 70% of people are lying. Just means they are bullied into changing their story to appease the cops.

90% of all cases end in a plea bargain or other guilty/no-contest finding outside of a trial, do you honestly believe the police are that good, or is the legal system one big extortion racket designed to punish anyone that wants to stand up for themselves, their rights or their innocence?

Hint... the police are not that good... and thousands of innocent people are ground away by the system daily
