          Kinder eggs are super illegal in the US. People actually get in trouble sometimes instead of just having it confiscated.

          It is an extreme application of a rule saying that you can’t have non food items in food.

    How to pass/invalidate a lie-detector test.

    They are not considered admissible evidence in court (but the criminal justice system still use them to a degree…), and they can be interpreted with intentional bias, so I think it’s fine to share.

    One of my psychology professors told me that if you hide something like a sewing needle in your shoe’s insole, you can ever so slightly apply pressure so that the poke causes a physiological spike. They monitor for movement, so it has to be very minute. The goal is to do this on every control question so that they cannot establish a baseline and have to give up.

      The best way to invalidate a lie detector test is to not take one, because you can not be forced to take one unless you are applying for a job to the CIA.

      Phrenology is more legitimate than polygraphs, and Prenology is nothing but bunk hokum.

        Prenology is nothing but bunk hokum.

        Modern IQ testing is often compared to phrenology. In the revised version of “the Mismeasure of Man” (a history of pseudosciences used to measure humans, and why IQ is among them) the author explained that the comparison was unfair… to phrenology.

        While the methodology of phrenology is bunk, Gould explained, it’s theory is sound. Phrenology supposed that their were different locuses in the brain, each responsible for differing functions and that intelligence, behavior, and consciousness was the sum and synergy of these differing regions. This is still more or less the modern understanding of neuroscience. IQ meanwhile fails in methodology and theory.

      What is the best script to deal with this?

      1. Am I being detained?
      • yes: (I want to Speak to lawyer) --> 1
      • no:
      1. Am I free to go?
      • yes: Go
      • no: --> repeat 1

      ♾️

      No need to go outside this script?

          Ya but they use the human fear of silence/not responding as a lever to get people talking. I feel like you’d be more successfull just sticking to a safe script like this

            Cops will find any excuse they want to be assholes. By shutting the fuck up you make your lawyer’s job a lot easier.

            Though it’s probably best to say “I an invoking my fifth amendment right to silence” so they know what you’re doing before they beat you and shoot your dog.

              Im referring more to places where you don’t technically have the right to have the lawyer sit in the interview nor is there a hard and fast 5th amendment. Like you don’t have to talk but they’re basically allowed to verbally pull teeth once a phone call with a lawyer is completed (where they just read “don’t say anything” remotely and hang up on you)

                I’m not the person you replied to, but I am confused as to what you mean. You don’t have to invoke the fifth amendment in order to not speak with police (the fifth amendment is more used in court), but you always have the right to have an attorney present when speaking with police in the US.

                  You have to actively and affirmatively express you want a lawyer and to remain silent for it to count.

                  Just being quiet or saying something like “I “think” I need a lawyer has been ruled not to count.”

      Unfortunately, I am allergic to morphine, wake me up when they can turn sugar into Dilaudid.

      Or better yet, morphine into fully baked sugar cookies.

        The proof of concept was done with Hydrocodone synthesis. It seems like they have the ability to tweak the yeast to complete complex synthesis to end product. I would bet Hydromorphone would be possible.

    You can request your trial to be done by mail, yes this is legal and if you truly want to get out of a speeding ticket or any other tickets or fine. Just do it the trial by mail and always postpone it for a greater chance of the officer just letting you win it. The source for all my information is from a lawyer, also check your local laws or state laws about this, thank you maggoty as it depends.
