Some layers don't understand how my mental health crisis works. Police should be able to help me, even if I incriminate myself a little bit.

To be honest, lawyer's advice is not helpful to my situation because I have serious mental health crisis, to a milder degree. I would rather confess anything to the police and explain that I have Bipolar Disorder and serious anger fantasies about killing my former bullies. I would rather get false accused of a crime at first and later on be found innocent and ask for help.

I know lawyers say that anything you do or say can be held against you in court, who the *** cares? At least it's the first step for me to get help.

I am sorry for venting, dear lawyers, please stop! I am not feeling well at all to not say anything to police. I am suffering in silence.

  • Well, I've just watched a few of the police interrogation videos, and I guess they have a lot of cases, and as long as they can close a few cases and get some bad people convicted and imprisoned, I imagine that it would be less for them to worry about while they are on the job on the streets. I mean I think they'd rather a bad person be in jail than doing something bad on the streets. 

    I don't think it's ever a good system to be guilty first and have to prove your innocence later. Why? Well it has to do with trust. If you are not trustworthy and criminalizing yourself, then people will just think you're lying about everything you say and do, and in that case, how are you going to prove your innocence? You might be relying on evidence to prove your innocence, but sometimes the police just needs some kind of confession in order to get the suspect imprisoned.

    If you want help, the lawyer is trying their best to help you. If you want help for your mental health, go to a psychologist. But don't put your bets on looking guilty and then being proven innocent, because you're taking a huge risk in doing so, and the lawyer is trying to tell you that it's not a good idea, and I don't think it's a good idea either.
