Harvey Silverglate: On Talking to the FBI

Professor Harvey Silverglate provides some advice on talking with the FBI: always have your lawyer in the room, and always have a tape recorder running.

The details about how the FBI work to turn informants is a tricky bit of legal wrangling. Seeing this also reminds me of an excellent talk by Professor James Duane on why you should never talk to cops.
