The only problem I have with this and the other video is that they don't mention witnesses. Well, they mention a witness saying they saw you in the area. Going by their suggestion though, that witness should have never told the cops that either as it implies they were in the area too. Not talking with the police ever and always choosing silence is maybe a good way to protect yourself, but if everyone followed that advice society would definitely hurt.
Starts off slow... gets down to the brass tacks at 9min in where he starts going through his reasons. The moral of the story is that a statement CAN ONLY HURT YOU.
And I disagree with the previous comment; he says nothing for or against witnesses providing police with information related to a crime, as long as they are immune or could not possibly be prosecuted. The 'Virginia Beach' witness's testimony should have been provided to officers, and the point was it would have carried less weight but for prosecutors being able to juxtapose the witnesses mistaken testimony with a contradicting denial by the defendant.
prosecutor-"Could you tell us where you saw him?" witness- "I saw him near the bank that was robbed" vs. prosecutor- "The defendant says he was in the Outer Banks, but could you tell us where you saw him?" witness- "I saw him near the bank that was robbed"

... again, statement can only hurt you.
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?
Interesting lecture, he seems like he's on pep-pills.
