As part of actions around the International Day against Police Violence (on March 15), various lectures and workshops will take place in Dresden.

One of them is the workshop at malobeo, which gives a look behind the scenes of a police interrogation. What strategies the police learn to interrogate us and how we can defend ourselves against them.

Let's summarize the context in which you are placed when you experience an interrogation situation: You have sketchy information about the investigation that concerns you and about the material the police have in their hands. You are experiencing an unusual and stressful moment. You are unsure what will happen in the future. If you are taken into custody, you are exposed to a whole range of additional stresses that depend on your conditions of detention and your deprivation of liberty. You are faced with people who are trained in extensive manipulation techniques, have a lot of professional experience in this field and know your profile more or less well.
All police strategies and techniques have one thing in common: in order to achieve their goals, the participation of the person being questioned is necessary, if not essential. This element represents the best defense you have. If you refuse to cooperate, you destroy the weapons that the police could use against you.
