I've always thought Duane is overcomplicating his "How could this hurt?" example: you don't need confused and misremembering witnesses. You only need another serious crime to have happened in the Outer Banks.
Now you've admitted to have been there. You did not have to admit that. Shut up.
Also, how did Mr Duane learn to speak that fast? Many siblings? Time-boxed lectures at his university? Enthusiasm for the subject?
There are instances of people initially thought of as simply witnesses to a crime becoming suspects and then being charged with that crime (or an associated crime.) The point of these videos is that in almost no case does talking to the police help you.

His speaking style is very engaging.

This is a great video, and worth watching in its entity at least once.
What about talking to the police to help them find the right suspect? This seems completely focused on how talking to the police can't help you.
(I'll admit I'm only 1/3 of the way through this video so far.)
