Neil DeGrasse Tyson On The Day He Met Carl Sagan
Full interview
I would strongly encourage everyone to view the full interview. It is a very interesting interview.
Don't Talk to Cops
I have a better idea:
Don't break the fucking law and don't associate yourself with lawbreakers.
As for his Rule 3: Why the hell would an innocent persone mostly tell the truth, and not fully tell it?
Why do I tell little white lies some days? I consider myself a very honest person, but sometimes in regard to a particular situation... POP... out comes a little white lie... Why the hell did I say that? Fu** it, I guess I'm stuck with it.
Afterward, I'll think back and try to figure out why that little white lie came out. I had no intention of lying, it just happened. Was I looking for acceptance or just wanting to look better for that new cute co-worker? I guess. It's a mix of conscious and subconscious desires.
Now imagine you are in very stressful situation. The threat (and add on the imaginative threat too) of you going to jail, your life being ruined,etc is sitting right in your face. You really, really want the police to know that you are innocent. POP... Oh, now you're fu**ed. That accidental white lie is now evidence against your good character in court. Doesn't matter that you are innocent, it only matters what the jury thinks because they are the ones that are going to be deciding your fate.
If you are innocent, your story will come out during the trial.
Peripheral add-on in response to the lawbreaker portion:
If you watch part 2 (I know it the comment with the video is after MG's comment), the police officer speaking second says that we all break the law. He gives the example of speeding. The professor also gives an example of that there are so, so many laws that you are sure to have broken one. By strict definition, I think it would be extremely hard to find anyone who hasn't broken a single law.
