This guy won against the mind games and stood his ground while going through heroin withdrawal. Impressive
Faxts
For real lol. I’ve withdrawn off of heroin and it is very desperate and vulnerable time
thats no joke need ur own bathroom
I actually kicked alcohol and heroin the same week. I was going to outpatient detox tho. I ended up doing it again. I’ll forever remember my last shot. Walked out of a Dallas whataburger right behind Dallas love field airport lol. Saw a huge fucking plane haha. I’m glad that time is over but I had a lot of fun nodded the fuck out🤣
@@eazy3434 eazy thanks for sharing like for real
“wham bam, thank you for the coke, put me back in the cell” literally the best line i’ve ever heard in an interrogation
😂😂
Look up "The Legend of Jeff"
Jeff sells t shirts saying that exact same phrase. Not that this youtuber would know that. He's too busy claiming he works for coke cola or some ignorant stupid shit.
@@davidprice7162 I heard Jeff was working in natural disaster management, he stares down tsunamis and usually they back off
@@davidprice7162 - he never claims Jeff worked for Coca Cola. He simply listed the theories that are circulating.
I had a brilliant friend who once said to me, “I’ve never seen a situation where bringing the cops into it didn’t make it worse.” RIP, Joe.
Always!! IT NEVER EVER FAILS! I avoid them like the plague. I don’t even open my door for them in the rare instance they come here for some stupid reason. I open my window about an inch or two. I talk to them thru that. 😂
I don't know Joe but he was so rite RIP Joe fly high unknown friend
Can't quite understand.Situation:young child gets lost,police brought in,they find the child.Where's the worse?Situation:A Gacy/Bundy is preying on the community,police brought in,dangerous threat is removed.Where's the worse?
@@gavinjames8749 never talk to the cops. Period
@@msannthrope1863 Does that apply to times when their assistance is needed urgently(or otherwise)?...
Also, as a former addict who spent 21 years in a love affair with heroin, I was uncomfortable just thinking about what Jeff was experiencing. I have no idea how he was drinking coke while withdrawals were taking hold! I could barely tolerate Gatorade when I was in withdrawal. The one thing that kept popping in my head was that the cops know Jeff’s condition will precipitously decline as time drags on. They were likely thinking “We’ll try again in a couple hours when he’s really suffering and then we can take advantage of his diminished state.” In my eyes, this is the equivalent of enhanced interrogation. While the officers are not physically harming Jeff, they are watching him “fall off a cliff” while doing nothing to alleviate his suffering. I had to go “cold turkey” in jail prior to serving my prison sentence and it was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. There’s no comfort in jail even under the best of circumstances, so just imagine experiencing the worst migraine you’ve ever had, along with the sensation that some unseen force is trying to extricate your spine from your body, your organs are on fire, the boat is leaking above and below deck, your nose is flowing, throat is dry, you’re dehydrated, agitated, weak and you’re dealing with tremendous cognitive decline… I don’t wish such suffering on any living thing. I’m not making excuses or eschewing responsibility for my actions. I’m merely saying that I truly feel Jeff’s pain because I have experienced something very similar.
I feel what you experienced. Stay strong.
I do too. I went through 3 days of withdrawal on a number of prescribed medications and the feeling you get in your spine is insane. It’s nothing you have ever felt before.
I become suicidal because my mood just rapidly deteriorates
'the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members’ - Mahatma Gandhi
I hear You Buddy....Big Time.
The irony of a cop saying "you've handcuffed me" to a handcuffed inmate is mind boggling
Probably some kind of psych trick to make the suspect believe he is keeping you there.
That whole "interrogation" was a sad gaslighting session.
@@janbo8331 To be fair, based on his performance in this interrogation… this detective might just be a little mentally handcuffed himself.
@@janbo8331 and if the person in cuffs admits to anything just to make the interrogation end they'd take his confession and run with it! Fkn sad that they don't actually give a shit who really committed the crime.
What an awesome observation!!!
Cop: You have the right to remain silent. You understand?
Jeff:
Right? Lol
Poignant
"I dont talk to you motherf*ckers" Hilarious
@@danieldolniczky2454 I’m with Jeff 100%. It may have been 35 years ago, but I still know exactly what that feels like. They’re just being abusive and stupid.
The dude is going thru withdrawals from smack while doing this... I am *stunned* by his level of composure. I've done this myself, the worst time of my life. But I was laying down, puking and crying and shitting myself for three weeks. No sleep until your body just crashes and allow you a short sleep with disturbing dreams. People in general really have NO idea. I am stunned this man is able to have a conversation. I think he's probably just really used to this legal process.
Same here. It’s been 35 years, but no one knows how miserable it if they haven’t been through. It can’t be described.
Just because we are or have been addicts in no way makes us stupid. This detective is being inhumane imo. “I got you a coke. That’s good enough.”
A Coke doesn’t = a right to violate Jeff’s rights, so no dude. It’s NOT enough.
Exactly! He's witty, dignified, smart... he's easily staying ahead of the dumb@$$ cop who can't trip him up, while still being polite... he's just so likable. Like you say, even under these horrible circumstances, he never loses composure and respect. And never slips up, either. That's smart. I think I may have a teeny crush lol. Imagine his potential if he were clean?
Probably because he was only at the beginning stages of it
16:55 holy shit this is such a power move. Very much saying "fuck you" without having to say anything at all. He straight up calls the bluff, and asks the detective to elaborate, absolutely turning the tables. That's fantastic lol, I see where the whole antihero thing comes in
Exactly! Well said!
I withdrew off heroine while i was locked up in county in SC. I hadn't been locked up in this particular jail before, and learned from my cell mate, that when the jail nurse comes, if i explain to her whats going on, i would be given soboxone. Boy was i happy to hear that!! So i talk to the nurse, and she explained to me that, i would not be given soboxone, but i would be transferd later that day to the medical pod. Locked down for 7days, 23 hours a day, in a very VERY small cell, sleeping on a floor with a completely shot, ripped up mat. Two other men in there with me (all of use going through withdrawal) we where fucking smashed in tight together, couldn't sleep already, and everyone is shitting, in the open together, NO medications what so ever, got one hour a day to either shower or walk around. It was hell. But after those 7days i was transferred back to general pop, and another 95 days later i was released with time served. Id kind of gotten used to the feeling of being clean, i was so excited to start my life over. Got out and ran home to my moms, avoided all my friends, eventually moved up north for work, and to be around my family. Last year got my first house, and obtained custody of my kids been moving forward since.
Great job. Stay blessed. ❤
keep going !!!
It’s so terrible how cruel they are about it. As if you’re live stock. Like methadone or suboxone is some luxury for weakminded people as if any heroin addict cant call a 24/7 hotline and sign up for it (and is encouraged to do so!)
I feel so lucky I never had to go through withdrawals with 0 medication but that’s great you made it through man.
Fuck yeah!!! Well done!!!
Thanks to everyone who replied to my comment. I love the encouragement and praise. It isn't often I hear that, especially in my life today where I actually don't tell anybody in person that I even ever used drugs. I gravitate towards online quite a bit in an effort to talk about things that people who are involved in my life today don't even know about. Whenever I receive a reply like the ones you guys giving me makes me feel very good, thank you and I hope all of you are doing well
"You don't talk to the cops, period." - The best free legal advice you will ever get. Take it to heart.
I took this saying to heart stoped talking to my brother once he became a cop
@@tfordham13 Ask your brother what he would do in an interrogation/ interview and I bet its ask for a lawyer. Its cool your brother is a cop, its no offense meant, just people should exercise their constitutional rights. They were put there to protect us just like the 1st or 2nd amendment - which makes me wonder if you are facetious about those as well.
Yuuuup it's like whenever a cop asks if there anything in the car just be honest
Don't talk to a cop while under arrest or detained is less confusing for people who take it literally. First thing you should do is what this guy did, ask if you're under arrest, then ask what for, verify that you understand your rights, and then ask to brought back.
Theres a reason they show up after the crimes and not in the middle to intervene.
This is how you get a INNOCENT confession, especially from somebody going through withdrawal. It's obvious they could care less if he did it or not, as long as he says he did
Remember, in the eyes of the law, admission of guilt is the same as guilt.
I love this lawyer that’s reacting! He swears, and I appreciate a lawyer that swears.
The fact that lawyering up frustrates cops is all the evidence you need to know it's a good thing to do.
What about pedophiles or a guy who's murdered his family?
@Anna I believe that if the cops don't have good enough evidence to overcome a person with a halfway decent legal defense advising them, then the cops don't have good enough evidence in general. Bruce Rivers says it all the time- when you talk to the cops you are basically self-snitching against yourself and sometimes thats all they need to pin shit on you.
There are lots of psychological studies done about methods of corrosion that cops can use to trick people into saying things they don't mean or confusing them into locking themselves onto a story that isn't necessarily true. The entire weight of the government can seem insurmountable to a person in the general public who may be getting falsely accused. In the event you are being falsely accused, it might be a really really scary situation, and in the panic, you might act or say things that make it all look worse. Cops are allowed to tell the people they are interviewing lies. They can tell you "innocent people don't lawyer up", they can tell you "talking with us can't make things worse if you are actually innocent", they can tell you that you are better off going with their narrative of what happened so you can just get it over with and get sent home.
In reality, lawyering up doesn't make you guilty. It makes you smart and tired cops on a 9-5 don't like smart people because it means they have to work harder. They would rather wrap the case up and call it a day. Your right to silence and your right to legal representation exists because it is perfectly reasonable to need an expert on your side so that you know your rights before the cops fuck you up the ass with them.
If you are actually a Murderer or a Pedophile, the evidence and witnesses the cops have to bring you in should speak for itself. But you shouldn't have to do any of the speaking for them and that is your basic rights.
@@BurdieFromHell Don't you watch true crime documentaries? Sometimes there isn't enough evidence.
@Anna It's unfortunate when they can't catch a guy who they really think did it, but it's more unfortunate when they catch a guy who didn't do it. In the event they catch a guy who didn't do it, they ruin a poor mans life while the actual person is still out there doing the crime with no added heat from the police. There are so many examples of people sitting in prison for a crime everyone knows they didn't commit, and yet the person still has a hard time leaving the prison. Thats all time you can never get back, and the compensation for the waisted time is never enough, if compensation is given at all.
When they can't catch the guy who did it, at least he is on their radar and has a lot more heat behind his acts, making it harder for the actual criminal to do their crime before they slip and are caught.
It does suck really hard to be a victim who hasn't seen justice, but I think it would be worse to be a victim who thought they saw justice until DNA evidence proves you misidentified a person and put them in jail for years and years. Then you have a victim who saw no justice with a guilty conscience for pointing the finger at the wrong guy. It happens all the time.
You always lawyer up. The police don't have a vested interest in whether you are found guilty, but you do.
If only police would invest more of their energy in solving the case rather than pinning charges on someone who's convenient.
"You have the right to remain silent."
*remains silent*
"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!"
He's like the one guy on JCS who does understand that right.
Lmao. They were so mad at him for exercising his rights.
I think most of the time you are required to affirm that you are invoking your right to remain silent, otherwise I was under the impression that your silence during the period before you get a lawyer can be used against you in court. Though maybe this doesn't matter that often
@@huntersawyer9324 one of the dumbest supreme court cases that says in order to remain silent you have to speak first.
@@lucystoner They always are. No matter which right. A lot of cops don't like others having any freedom from their tyranny.
I counted at least 3 times where he stated that he wasn't willing to talk to them and at some point he asked for a lawyer, yet they still tried to squeeze out information out of him! Smh 😐
UPDATE: Jeff is fine and free! He even has an awesome YT channel called "The Legend of Jeff" !!!
You can never talk yourself out of trouble when dealing with the police, only into it.
No shit.
Its their job to make you look as guilty as possible, there's even a law that says they can lie to you and won't be held responsible , you can thank Obama for that one, so when they say, " we got your buddy down in the other room and he is telling all of us that you are the sole one and it was all your idea " do not believe them !!! And you can bet your ass, that they are telling your friend the same thing about you because they can't get the info they want
only into trouble
That’s 100% not true, as long as you didn’t do it. Actually sometimes the only way to save yourself is to tell your side. I had a rape case once, girl claimed she was raped by this kid in the back of his car. Rape cases are a guaranteed arrest if the suspect doesn’t deny the allegation and provide a viable alibi/counter claim. In this case the 18 year old accused agreed to meet me, told a story of a hookup and showed text messages where the female came on to him wanting to hook up. His story made more sense than hers, he was sincere, he didn’t do it.
He did not go to jail, in fact I filed the case closed unfounded. If he had said “lawyer” or refused to talk to me he’d have been arrested and charged with rape. Even if you beat that charge in court it can end your normal life forever, not to mention the cost to fight in court. He was innocent, he made the right call to talk to me and saved himself a ton of heartache.
Now if your ass is guilty you best stfu because I will get incriminating statements out of you every single time.
*periodt*
The legend of Jeff is amazing and hysterical 😂
But you missed the fact that he wasn’t locked in that room the whole time. He was brought back to his cell each time and then Jeff would ask to talk to them again and again to get soda and candy all while not saying shit to them. He got what he wanted and didn’t give them anything.
EXACTLY!!! Jeff knew Exactly what he was doing, and kudos to him for that!! I'd like to see Bruce re do this, with knowing he was taken back and forth to his cell. Woyld he TOTALLY different. That he misses this, ruins the point!
It doesn’t matter that he was brought back to his cell. And then brought back to the interrogation room. His Miranda rights don’t reset once he leaves the room.
He exercised his fifth amendment right. He doesn’t need to keep exercising it. They have also violated his sixth amendment right too btw. By continuing to rip his due process to shreds.
Arm chair lawyer. They know a little and start spouting it as fact. This is the same problem the cops have.
@@jovito8163 you’re extremely ironic….I probably can’t express this enough…
@@willlock3644 You mean hypocritical?
“I’m not your friend!!😊” gets me everytime I watch this
Jeff is actually doing good he’s changed his life he uploads to CZcams he’s clean.
oh man can someone link pls 😭
It’s cool to see you so passionately angry about how mistreated he was. Knowing there are people like you who will adamantly defend vulnerable people regardless of their situation or background is exactly why I like watching you so much.
Bruce is a Boss
He won't represent him cuz he don't have $500000 just remember tht he don't care if tht dude dose the rest of his life in prison
@@mikewtf8591 You might have a point there.
Doing Reaction Videos after people are already in Custody or Court
Is free, but the 22 mins & 53 Seconds Bruce took to do this Video will cost a lot more in real life.
A good lawyer costs a SHIT TON of money though, a typical public defender isn't offered to you for legitimate defense in court. They are there to "try" and get you less time.
I don’t suppose you have any legal contacts in Ireland that will help me as much as you truly do.
Holy hell, 6'5" and 150lbs this guy is basically a walking skeleton 🦴💀
That’s what i said! He’s built like the slender man! 🤣
He's much better and has gained some weight back. He has his own channel called The Legend Of Jeff. He's off heroin!
@@roxannemoser that m/f ain't off shit. I wish and pray for the besst for EVERYone, but nah. He even asks (basically) for $$$$ ALL the fucking time. I am NOT saying I'm not on his side...but he is NOT WELL!!
@@roxannemoser I've been watching it he's a fascinating dude, reminds me of bunch of friends I used to have
A taller Skinny Pete.
I was arrested while addicted to heroin, and the withdrawals are so much worse than on the outside. Whenever I think of going back, I just think about that incredible pain, laying on a 1cm thick "mattress" at 3 in the morning with the light glaring in my eyes and every bone in my body trying to jump out of my skin. Love this content and how you approach it! Great edu-tainment content.
Its relative
"I came up here only to get coke" man's shaking them cops like they're a whole ass vending machine xD
Right!? I bet he got that Butterfinger too! 😂
Jeff is doing well, he has a CZcams Channel called "The Legend of Jeff" and is uploading videos every now and then.
I thought you were bullshitting and you are not 😂, thanks
Cool . . . thanks for that info, appreciate it. Now subscribed to "The Legend of Jeff".
I check on him. Who doesn't love Jeff?😊
He's now a lawyer himself, I believe
@redisthecoolestcolour 😂😂😂 he very well could be..
What’s the point of having rules if there is no consequence of breaking them? If a cop re-initiates in interrogation after a suspect decline to speak if the only recourse is the testimony is thrown out and there is no recourse for the cop breaking the rule. This is why the antihero, is loved. Because we don’t hold the ones accountable that hold everybody else accountable.
He asked for a coke. So he agreed to come out of the cell for a Coke and they use that as leverage to talk to him. Feels like both sides knew what they were doing
They were desperate for a confession because they had no evidence or witnesses
Well here’s the thing, any good defense attorney can and will use this to get a confession thrown out. That’s the consequences of breaking the rule. You’re right it should fall directly on the detectives, but DA’s probably get really pissed at them when they waste a bunch of resources on a case they themselves, screwed.
@BoldPromises He was taken to his cell and brought back after 2 and a half hours when they agreed to give him a Coke. Bruce simply got that wrong when he thought the jump cut was him sitting there for 2 hours. Nice try though.
@BoldPromises ratiod
Thank you Bruce Rivers from Canada you are a great lawyer and Human being
I’ve been in withdrawal before, man it sucks !!!
And having the jails full of drug offenders drives me crazy, I’m a physician in recovery and now do some addiction Mgmt but seeing young girls out of jail with a ankle device on and hear about how she was abused as a child and see how we treat these people.
"He was released 12 hours later"
I'm an ex junky & criminal. I know that next fix when Jeff got out was a good one.
@Patrick O'Brien good for you brother keep it up! Been there as well
@Patrick O'Brien I have no idea how you managed to hold it together. My friends have changed their lifestyles to accommodate their alcohol addictions. And that’s just alcohol. Congrats on your new life. You have earned every minute of it.
@Patrick O'Brien 🤣🤣
I bet he slept well that night.
@Patrick O'Brien I know that sucked.
Also, this is irrelevant, but what holiday weekend is 5 days long?
No joke, if I get into trouble, I'm calling this guy. Never heard a lawyer be so up front and real about shit
a defense attorney will be up front to you and also attorneys usually aren't youtubers.
@@wrldisyours3328 so are you trying to say because bruce makes youtube videos hes not a good lawyer??
@@dailydoseoftuc11 yeah and I agree, he's well educated in law.. actually has passion for people, so you know he'll care about you well being and rights.. So sounds like a lovely lawyer to me
You never seen a good lawyer then cos that's literally they job
Be ready to drop a big bag lol
I love how passionate he is about “get a damn lawyer, don’t talk to the police” love it lol
Love the soft side we get to see of Bruce at the end.. he does have a heart! 💙
As a former addict of opiates, what this guy did was remarkable! I had to come off opiates in Jail, it was absolutely a nightmare. Thanks for the content Bruce and Michael! Sometimes a little reminder of that life is all a person needs 🔥
Right there with you man this one hits close to home.
The story is even more remarkable the ending is wrongin the jcs vid; he not jcs posted a video on CZcams saying hes kicked opiods and is now a lawyer he graduated law school
Nah you clearly snitched. You remind me of other opiate addict informants I ended up knowing, you guys set people up for marijuana and petty pills while you keep ur H plug safe because you needed the opiates, in your head. Weak minded snitch.
Same here. I withdrew from opiates and benzos cold turkey in solitary confinement. It was living hell and I came close to dying from the benzos. Been clean now for four years.
Me too. And they DEFINITELY were waiting for him to get sick. Most people will never understand how weak you get (physically and emotionally) when in withdrawal. Sadly I do. It’s amazing he held out.
I never thought I’d hear a lawyer be so nice and understanding of an opiate addict. You seem awesome. I know you’re probably a high end lawyer but I would hope to have someone like you on my side if I were being accused of something.
a defense attorney will make his bread and butter on drug cases be it addicts or dealers.
Opiate addiction could happen to any of us. As could so many of the struggles that others endure but for the grace of whatever you believe in.
@@memyself898 useless comment is useless
@@salamantics you certainly are
Your a fool
Bruce- it’s so cool to get to know your attitude and knowledge about defense work. It’s an area I know so little about and don’t understand that well. I appreciate your rational and compassionate you are.
I literally have been in Jeff’s shoes, 15 years addicted to heroin, faced up to 20 years, but now clean, sober & didn’t go to jail & it was because I got clean cold turkey in jail, got bonded out & believe god gave me a second chance.
Hey Bruce, just a quick tip, you can raise the noise gate on your mic setup so that it takes more volume to activate the microphone amplification. This will solve the echo we hear from the laptop, and it wont affect your voice because when you speak into the mic, your normal talking voice is around 60dBs which is far higher than whatever noise gate you need to filter out background sound. You can adjust the open and close threshold to what works best for you, and most recording software have built ins already so you dont need to buy an external gate.
Handy info! 🙌
This is peak CZcams comment section content 💜 nothing but constructive criticism to make something you already enjoy even better
It's Bruce son that does this. So hopefully he read your comment 🙏
GOD BLESS YOU!!!! I have the WORST LUCK with technology and always presume if something’s wonky…; I blame my personal “energy field.” Relieved to find your post right away 💝
Watching Bruce go off over the cop's disrespect for his rights is awesome, and just proof how much he loves his job. Great to see!
Hi Joshy poo, you look like snack
@@TannerisSmol97 You look mentally disturbed, but it's alright, we all are in a way.
I'd say also this is proof Bruce has kept his humanity and morale. Definitely great to see.
He asked for a lawyer like 3 times and they just ignored it. Unbelievable.
Also for anyone wondering he is clean & has a CZcams, it’s called legend of Jeff Jeff,
A heroine junkie, about to go into withdrawals and he is STILL smarter than that cop!
Instead of wasting money on the military, they should train police officers properly
And yes they absolutely take advantage of the vulnerability of addicts. It should be a law that addicts need to go to a detox clinic or something and be cleared before they can talk. Cuz these guys know “hey I just gotta wait till they’re in withdrawal and then I can force them to talk to me by leveraging things with them”
Nah
that will be when the justice system recognizes addicts as people, so never
Bruce, thank you for always bringing hope to people. Thanks to you and the community you and Michael have built here, including stories of redemption. It helps me build compassion (and new view of defense attorneys). While some people I'm sure should be behind bars forever, many do take the opportunity to change their lives, thanks to someone like you. Your empathy for people, your love for your son, your humor and insight always inspire me. Many thanks. Wishing you all good things.
Just found this video, and this channel.. I love this. Much respect for making videos like this, man! I can tell you're intelligent, empathetic, ethical, and open minded. Keep it up, man!
"I didn't commit no armed robbery."
"Well let's talk about it."
About what, the robbery he didn't commit?
Well, he IS a junky.
He wasn’t in there the whole time. He was in the cells, but said he was ready to talk, so cops brought him back into room. Jeff knew he’d get a coke (which helped with withdrawal). So he played them like they tried to play him
Coke helps with withdrawal?
@@anticom6099 the sugar and caffeine does help. It’s like putting a plaster (band aid) on a massive, bleeding gash, but it does help.
It doesn’t mean shit that he left and came back multiple times.
Your Miranda rights don’t “reset”….
@@THEE_Kisywisy BS. I know firsthand that that’s nonsense. Any kind of stimulants just make it worse. And that’s if your stomach can even tolerate having anything in it, which it probably won’t be able to. I couldn’t even keep water down during the worst of it.
@@anticom6099 Not entirely true.. well amphetamines make it worse but for example alpha-PVP and MDPV definitely will make wd gone and forgotten, coke works basically only to lift mood when withdrawing.
I’m on vacation right now in the Philippines. Instead of enjoying the white sand beaches I came across this channel and truly enjoyed this video! I’ve had the unfortunate privilege to sit in those interrogation rooms, fortunately I was taught by my client who is a criminal defense attorney to always carry his business card to exercise my rights to an attorney. Just subscribed to this channel and now binge watching these episodes.
I found his CZcams channel and he’s constantly posting content he’s not in jail and he been out of trouble so long he’s able to vote now
I was falsely accused of sexual assault when I was in the Army. CID called me in and talked to me about random stuff for a bit. I had no idea why I was there. I had reported a possible war crime about 2 years prior so I assumed that's what I was there for. Then the agent opened the folder and said this is what we are here to talk about and the word rape jumped off the page at me. He told me my rights and I said I wanted a lawyer and that was it. I was on my way. Best decision I ever made. Sadly I got a field grade article 15 for something that didn't happen but it's better than going to prison.
Had a few summarized myself.
@@marie.0209 shit. Get a VPN set yourself to outside the US and look up the countless war crimes
Thanks for explaining what a field article 15 is. I'm sure every single person knows exactly what you are talking about
Sucks man. Amber Heards need to see inside prison walls
@@PolishBehemoth It's punishment in the military. I'm not going to explain it because it really isn't important to the story. A simple Google search will tell you everything you need to know.
This video is literally famous and used in training for new employees for incarcerated employment orientations across the country. Mostly just on how he controls the room. I remember a longer video though. But Jeff just completely flips the dynamic and I believe there were points that showed Jeff in control of the conversation to a point that the officers were moving to his commands. I may be misremembering it but I know its used in a way that even the hardest types are fond of him not the interrogation
Good on you sir, for having the statement thrown out because KFC was Coercion 😂😂😂😂
VERY MUCH RESPECT...........!!!!!
You are one of a kind.
Unfortunately, I've heard of a few cases where cops did quite worse in interrogations. One of the most notable ones being Amanda Knox's case.
Central Park 5
What happened there?
Worst one is the kid that was sitting there shot in the face and they didn't believe him.
@@Ricky_Evans1611 There's a whole documentary about it. In short, Italian justice is a mess.
@@caitthecatI watched that. Rarely have I been that enraged at an injustice.
Not all cops are great guys. Some are actually bad people, bad at their job, bad at life. Scary. I always say I want a lawyer when I be breaking the laws! Bruce Rivers on speed dial! Retained!
I love the information I get from your videos; very useful as usual!!!!❤
I appreciate your review/reaction on this interrogation video, as it was interesting in listening what you, a Professional, had to say about their comments or lack thereof in Jeff's case & look forward to watching any more reactions in the future.
I thank God for people like you who have dedicated their lives to protect Citizens Rights from being flatly run-over by those who would "throw the book" at us rather than get to the truth of the matter, every single time. You folks deserve so much more credit than you're given by the avg Joe. Thank You Sir.
Man in Houston Texas when I was 18 I was arrested for 3 marijuana plants because some guy wanted me to sell them to him but I refused and in retaliation called the cops and told them I was a drug dealer. And when the cops raided my house they used false city code violations like standing water to come search our property and when they found the plants the undercover cop who set the whole thing up pulled me aside and made me sign and affidavit saying if I didn’t admit that the plants were mine my parents were likely to lose the house and cars we owned. I went with a lawyer that was a judge in Pasadena, tx but still represented people in court and he ended up getting me a year of probation but later found out the whole thing should have been thrown out since the way they got me to sign the affidavit was pretty much blackmail, ever since then I just stay quiet and refuse to talk to any cop. That one incident ruined my college career and hindered the job opportunities I was able to get for close to 12 years later. I’m about to turn 32 this year and barely feel like I finally have my life back. Wish I was taught at a younger age what this video teaches. Cops are not your friends and the only reason they talk to you is to get you to incriminate yourself.Acab
Back the blue until it happens to you. Once I pass the bar I want to go to inner city schools and teach some basic rights to high school kids. At 18 I would have sat there and tried to explain to the police thinking they just wanted to get to the truth.
Same thing happened to me, different situation though
@@cobracommander9138 you probably can get a grant for that and it would be a great after school program. Keep kids occupied for a few hours a week. Good look with your career as an attorney.
Who just drives around with three marijuana plants though?....
@@cursedcancersurvivor nobody they were threatening to charge me as a dealer and told me that allowed them to confiscate all our vehicles our home and bank accounts
Finally you reacted to this JCS masterpiece.
Thanks for the content lately!
Mr Rivers your a badass and Im glad theres lawyers like you in the world when theres Detectives out there like this I was a IV drug user in the past and I woulda get messed with for everything just bc i used drugs and I meet a lawyer like you who would help me out in situations like this and Im forever grateful i wasnt a bad person i just had a bad disease
Bruce, your humanity is what makes you great.
I had seen the Jeff video before; I never realize how the police violated his rights so badly.
Before even watching this, I already got a feeling that Bruce is gonna like Jeff..
I just wanted to say thank you for what you do and your insight.
You're the man, Bruce! You are refreshing. I can hear the fight in you. I've never had an attorney actually help me much, even when i was paying them as opposed to a public defender. I feel none of your clients would talk like that about you.
JEFF IS LEGENDARY. I remember watching this along with binge watching all their videos and 2nd channel
Omg you have a custom rap intro song 😂. Not only are you a criminal attorney, you’re a legendary one.
he seems to be just like saul in personality aswell lol xD
LUV how you’re confident enough to drop the “f-bomb” without any concern. I would hire you to be my lawyer in a f*ckin heartbeat!
He got clean and has an CZcams channel. I lost his full name but I remember hearing that and did his his CZcams channel talking about how he got clean. I'm sure you can find it.
I’ve been watching this man for a long time at this point, I was blessed enough today to be able to speak to him directly on the phone and he’s just as energetic and positive as he is in these videos! Love his song reactions especially but the way he can break down things in an entertaining fashion will ensure his channels only continue to grow at a rapid rate!
He is awesome 😎
Another great video counselor.
You’re absolutely right and I was thinking the same thing. I was a prosecutor for 4 years before being a patent attorney, I’ll be the first to say it; this is a prosecutor’s worst nightmare.
It is unbelievable how many times a defense attorney could show these officers violated his rights I mean good hell I think you pointed it out 4-7 times in a 20 minute video; they have like 4 hours of this interrogation footage.
And it’s hell being on the receiving end of it. I got caught up in a thing once, and though I was completely innocent of some really heavy charges they were throwing at me (for context, it really helped that my ex turned up alive arrested in another state after going on a drug hiatus, and there was more on top of that they were throwing at me!) the cops threw everything in the book at me so far as I can tell, long hours in interrogation employing all sorts of psychological ploys, Extra thorough checks to ensure I wasn’t a mule, got locked in a shower stall for a bit that was extra fun, I caught a extra charge for my improbable escape from that one (they fucked it up), spent weeks in the hole, then somehow not alone in the hole (thankfully he didn’t live up to expectations, in fact we had some similar interests), whole thing was a podunk nightmare lasting for 9 plus weeks. So yeah kiss my job goodbye. They even clipped and cut a really entertaining diss track against me claiming it was from the initial interrogation, even though it was laughably obvious that it was chopped up audio. Never got to talk to a lawyer the whole time. I’ll admit I started the first interview with the usual ‘ I didn’t do it ‘ and ‘ seriously I’d help you if I could ‘ sorts of things it’s true, but it quickly became clear what they wanted to be true and I clammed up that second I realized it and started demanding a public defender. Took a judge to finally order a PD to me. Whole multiple felony case was dropped when we started jury selection, just poof gone. But I now was a recently separated army veteran who’s only civilian employment was cut short by incarceration 2 months in who had lost all his material possessions and basically his entire bank account during that time, and it was pretty fucking clear that the local cops were now banking on slamming me with anything they could once I was a vagrant, I’m actually surprised I managed to escape that county tbh. Whole life hard reset followed
i would guess their game here is to hope he gets a public defender who will plea bargain on the basis of 'we already have a confession' or whatever and they never have to go to court
@@cyberus1438 christ almighty what a nightmare of a system
This is one of my favorites that he analyzed. I love his interpretations.
Bad Santa, Shawshank Redemption, and Big Fish were the original movies I cried to as a jitt. 90s baby shit. I got heart.
Had seen this before but didn’t think of how the interrogation was illegal. This channel is always interesting.
Thank you so much for empathy for addicts . I never went as far as heroin , but opioids are opioids are the withdrawal from that is just nothing I ever ever want to feel again. I still wake up in a sweat sometimes cause I was reliving it , in my dreams . It was certainly never planned and I am so damn lucky I never found myself on the wrong side of the law and I got out of it with the help of my parents and stayed clean with the help of my dog .
As a recovering alcoholic, I have those drinking dreams and they're so much better than actually drinking to remind me why I quit. Way to go!
Omg my dog helped me more than ANYTHING to get and stay clean from pills ❤
Heroin withdrawal is one of the worst things I’ve ever experienced. It’s like the flu times a thousand. While at the same time it’s impossible to sit still with the worst restless legs ever, impossible to sleep, puking, diarrhea, whole body aches, headache pounding, nose running, extreme anxiety, extreme depression to the point of wanting to commit suicide, uncontrollable yawning, and the first 24 hours isn’t the worst like people think. It’s more like it peaks at around 3 days and finally start to feel better after about 5 days usually. It depends if it’s heroin, fentanyl, oxys, methadone. If it’s methadone you are going to be very sick for a very long time. A month usually. I don’t wish it on anybody.
So happy I just found Jeff on CZcams talking about his experiences 😊
This is why CZcams is so great. To put criminals wearing badges on blast for the whole world to see.
Thank you
You seriously care a lot about people who almost nobody else seems to care about, those who end up on the wrong side of the law. The sheer fact that you treat the clients with dignity is I think, what makes you a good lawyer and a standup human being.
We genuinely need more people like you in this world, sir, willing to treat other humans with dignity even if they break laws and do terrible things. Humans are humans at the end of the day.
😂”Kentucky Fried Coercion!!”🤣👍♥️you are funny Mr. Rivers😂
hahah Bruce, I LOVE your energy, beautiful responses to this interrogation XD
So they violated his rights over and over and over. What was done to hold them accountable ? NOTHING
"Do you understand your rights?"
"Yes. DO YOU UNDERSTAND MY RIGHTS AS WELL, OFFICER?"
I seen another video of Jeff's where the officer claims to have seen Jeff riding his scooter on a highway in the dark but says he lost him and found him later pushing a scooter down the sidewalk. If he lost who he was following in the dark then how could he see well enough to know he was the same man? The officer defeated his own logic on the video. Btw, I like this lawyer! Subbed! 👍
First time watching you and your channel.! And I gotta say you’re down right one of the top coolest lawyers I’ve watched and seen..!! Lol the way you describe throughout the video was absolutely hilarious. Gotta hand it to you man and Jeff awesome on both ends, great reaction, video and way to smack all the police officers that were in the interrogation room. Got to learn a little bit more about the law, because it downright seem like it was like entrapment, but Way to go to Jeff sticking with the first amendment all in all just great all around. Thanks for posting.
JCS videos are so addicting I’ve moved on to watching other people watch JCS videos lmao
Bruce, Ty for that story. In March 2020 I found my best friend dead from heroin and I quit that day cold Turkey
Great video. Great breakdown and advice.
Apparently he got extradited to Canada where he plead guilty to armed robbery and is doing 15yrs
I wish I could see Bruce in court. I’ll bet he can really roast someone in cross-exam lol.
Much respect & love Mr.Rivers!
Don't see many people saying this in the comments but Jeff has a CZcams channel and makes music, regular (albeit short) uploads. The name is The Legend of Jeff. But it's really good to see how he's out of jail and doing okay. He's also got his patreon linked to his CZcams :)
I was using Heroin for 4 years and was arrested on a FTA warrant and sat in jail for 2 months waiting on court and missed her 3rd birthday. That moment a switch flipped and I never looked back never even thought of using heroin ever again. It's crazy how strong the mind can be. 7 years clean now
Love that you did this video. JCS is the goat of police interview videos. Legend of Jeff is one of my favorites.
Love the respect he shows to jcs. Great channel, great lawyer.
Hitler would never talk that way
@@peterpiper47 how do you know, pipe hittin pete?
Want to know what happened to Jeff?
Jeff has his own channel. Legendofjeff
Thanks for the video.
Jeff: remains silent
Cop: surprised Pikachu face
This is one of my favorite channels! Love ya Bruce and Michael!
Truly the real life Saul Goodman without the cartel involvement (as far as I know). Love the videos, Bruce!
I love how many firearms there are in the first 10 seconds of the video.
Jeff's got a CZcams channel by the way! I am sure it's been mentioned. He's clean, doing great, making great outsider music... he has turned himself around!
