Instruction
During my years in law enforcement, I have seen the egos of interrogators get in the way of obtaining the truth from suspects. I'm not referring to simply obtaining false confessions but I am referring to a competition that is sometimes found between colleagues and is also found between interrogators and suspects. Who can get the confession? Can I get the confession from this guy? This can result in pushing the suspects too hard and too fast during an interrogation which can shut the suspect down so that he doesn't feel like talking anymore. I have also seen interrogators get an admission and think that is as far as they need to go in the interrogation. Also, when interrogators are trying to get a confession that fits THEIR narrative, they stop truly listening to the suspect and miss crucial statements that can lead to the entire truth.
